We have officially been back in the Peach State for a month and a lot has happened! J has been working for a tutoring center, while searching for teaching jobs, and I have just landed a part-time job with Georgia Organics (yippee!). We are trying to juggle the one car situation, which has been difficult with living outside of the city and getting used to not being able to bike everywhere. On top of starting new jobs we have been house sitting for friends and babysitting making for a bit of a hectic schedule!

This week marked my 27th week of pregnancy and I'm not sure if I am giving birth to a baby or a basketball :) My sister helped me register a few weeks ago and boy did I never realize how much stuff is needed for something so tiny! It was really great to have her there with me because the whole process is overwhelming and you want to make sure you have everything you need for when baby arrives (no pressure or anything!). At the end of the day though, I realized it was actually good to go ahead and finish the registration process early on in the pregnancy that way you can purchase things along the way and almost use the registry as a checklist for all the necessities. Speaking of baby stuff...I had my first appointment with my Midwife here and it went really well. I had to have a second ultrasound because they were concerned about a few things, but everything looked great at the check-up and I feel much better now knowing who and where will be delivering our little girl! She has been kicking up a storm and hiccuping this past month-it's such a neat yet weird feeling. We already love her so much - and no WE HAVE NOT PICKED OUT A NAME!!! Hopefully soon though!
The boys are adjusting well to living in a house with their cousins Oscar (a boxer) and Guthrie ( a very talkative cat); however, Beau is having a harder time since he's not a super-social dog. I think he really misses his backyard and he seems more anxious than usual. Ernie loves it though because he gets more attention than ever - he's so spoiled!
It's been great being back and being able to spend so much time with family and friends. When you live away from home you always feel like you're missing out on something important so it's been nice reconnecting with old friends and enjoying time with the people we love so much!
Here's some pics. from the last month:
