New House! And an Update...

We have been in our new house for 6 days now. The full box mountains in every room are slowly growing smaller while the scary empty box everest grows at an alarming rate. The kitties are really enjoying scaling it, however...

So far only Eli's room is completely unpacked (trying to locate diapers, socks, his favorite snuggly, etc in the mess while manhandling the up-monster was an exercise in frustration). The kitchen and family room are almost unpacked and will be done in the next day or two.

Overall we are making a lot of progress and are on track for being ready to host Thanksgiving. =)

Day 1: Is there a kitchen in here?
Day 5: Why yes, we do have a kitchen!


Day 5: Kitties taking a rest before attempting to scale the mountain...

On a sadder note, as we suspected, we have received confirmation that this pregnancy is not viable. I asked for another blood test on Friday since I continued to feel off, and that confirmed that my beta hcg numbers had dropped to 69. I had a second blood draw this morning to make sure that my numbers continue to drop so I can hopefully avoid having to undergo a D&C. Emotionally, I'm actually okay with this result. I've felt pretty strongly from the start that something was wrong with this pregnancy, so I'm actually relieved to have it end sooner rather than later. We will do one more IUI with Follistim injections as soon as my doctor clears us (probably in December or January).

In other news, Eli is as cute as ever!  =)

Good morning!

  1. Congrats on making a smooth move into the new place....I love the pic of the mountain of boxes...makes the idea of moving a little daunting..

    I'm so sorry about your pregnancy. I'm glad to hear you are in a good place with it. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

  2. It was just not the time for another baby yet, Sarah. If you continued with it, the baby would’ve been sickly instead of being cute like Eli. On a lighter note, how are you enjoying your stay in the new house? :] I’m pretty sure a lot of home projects are going on in your mind every time you look at parts of the house. Wishing you all the best!

  3. O-oh! Lots of boxes around the house! Haha! Well, that's just how it is when you’re moving into a new place. There’s a lot of stuff everywhere and you seem to have no idea where you should start. Haha! Anyhow, days after, everything will definitely fall into place. :) It’s been two months already, Sarah. I hope that you’re really enjoying your new home! :D
