H went to Banff for a work retreat and loved it awick14. He went in the winter so it was just skiing and work but he said it's absolutely gorgeous there. If you go you should post pics! All he had for me was a picture of him skiing.
katiek: She better come soon! I keep checking my phone for a text saying "FINALLY!"
luv2rn4fun: That sucks. People occasionally ask us why we haven't bought a house here and selling is precisely why. House pricing is mediocre, we don't have a huge down payment set aside, but all those pale into comparison that if we want to leave in 2-3 years and being stuck with a house here! I hope you get a good offer soon, no more of these 10 minute showings! Also, who only takes 10 minutes? My Mom loves house shopping, but refuses to commit to moving, and we've never spent less than 1/2 hr - 1 hr looking at a place.
@luv2run4fun I'm so sorry about your house. Selling our house was probably the most stressful time of our married life. SUCH A PITA!!!! It took almost a year and 3 price drops
BUT we found an awesome house that we would never have gotten if selling our house hadn't taken so long.
luv2rn4fun I'm sorry for the house selling frustration! Hopefully the new price will attract some new people. House selling is so weird in what sells quickly and what doesn't.

Thanks ladies!
@opal- yesterday's showing had asked prior if our downstairs bathroom could be a full bathroom (currently 3/4). There is room but not enough for her liking (her 90 year old father would be living with her). My guess is she looked downstairs and that was it (or really fast since it didn't meet her needs). Also doesn't help neighbor kid was washing his dirt bike in the front when they showed up...
zarapipe- hi and thank you! It's a process but I am trusting in it. We haven't seen anything we LOVE in New city but we will need to move before this baby is here...I refuse to do 2u2 with no help (DH is working a ton so I am solo more days than not).
Anyone know where ewall has been? Haven't seen her around...
Didn't she start the new job (or new role) that required a ton of work travel? Maybe she hasn't had time to check in.
I just stalked her post history and her last post until one today on MMM was Jan 29th. I was wondering if we lost her to Kent but looks like she is just busy. I do think she ended up taking the new job...

katespade - Thank you! My sister also guessed today, but it looks like that's not happening. My H guessed tomorrow, which is doable. Let's get this show on the road!
amaranth - I sort of felt like telling the nurse "I bet your uterus would be irritable if you'd been having contractions for days!" Eight days early would be tomorrow, and I would definitely be on board with that!
Also, I'm so glad that nursing S is improving! And M sounds like he's adjusting well, all things considered! He seems to have a nurturing soul. Good luck on Monday, you'll rock it!
estrellita - LOL. My kindle fire is horrible with autocorrect and half the time I catch it and other times I don't.
How is this week going in your new role?
Really good! I've made a few errors of course but nothing that isn't easily fixable. Still learning a lot but I'm really liking it so far. I like the team too, really friendly but also very hardworking and focused. I kinda wish I would have moved up there sooner! Haha.
MrsMB , amaranth , luv2rn4fun , estrellita , Hi! Work got the best of me so I was trying to focus there, along with being more present in everyday life.

How is the new job going? Do you like it better?
Are you still training for that half?
How is your DS?
New job is soooo boring. Plenty of work, but none of it very exciting. Oh well. I needed a break from my previous position, and this paycheck is great! I waiver on what I should do (stay or go) because I think we might want to TTC next year at some point. I couldn't do this job with two kids, but I also think staying as long as possible is a good idea, finance-wise.
I was doing great training and working out, then we went on vacation for a week. I haven't worked out once so far in March. Currently sitting on the couch enjoying Target clearance wine rather than running in 40 degree weather.
DS is great! We are battling ear infections, but otherwise I am loving this age. He is walking now, has a handful of words, and is such a cheerful little guy.
How is your DS? How does this pregnancy compare to your first? Hoping you sell the house very soon!

Glad things are going well! My old job was boring too but the pay was awesome. Sometimes work is work and isn't all fun but still serves a purpose. Since you like the money maybe give it 6 months and then go from there? Can you go back to your old job (even with 2 kids)?
Sorry to hear about the EIs but glad your DS is otherwise doing great! This age is.awesome!! C is great too...he's walking and babbling a ton but real words is regressed although he "understands" so much more. He is getting 6 teeth and dropped to one nap so this past 1.5 weeks has kicked my butt (I am pretty much solo Mon thru Fri...DH's job sucks right now and he is.working a ton). Pregnancy is very similar but my body aches more (sleeping in my bed hurts my back so I spend most of my time on the couch) and I am already showing...13 weeks and final first tri u/ s on Monday! Thank you for the house vibes too...just had a showing this morning and really liked the people/agent so hoping they make an offer!
I think I would prefer wine over running right about now too! Good choice!
