Greetings from Colorado!This week, according to What to Expect, I have reached my maximum amniotic fluid volume. Now it's all baby volume that's increasing. This is why he seems to push on more sides of me - more baby than fluid to cushion the blows! He even has a developed enough immune system by now to protect him from really basic stuff until he gets some Mama Milk in the real world.
While the photo may look eerily similar to our house, it is not. This is Grandma Pat and Grandpa Gary's new house! They stopped by for a speedy visit last weekend because Scott and I had seen a couple of houses we thought they would like. And they did! This one was a bank-owned and it was a good price. It has a bedroom on the main level (nice) and lots of room for grandkid(s) to play inside.
Even better, the kid can walk there from our house! They are around the circle in a cul d'sac in our development. To some this may seem daunting, but we are all excited. I think it will be great for Shrimpy to grow up near at least half of his grandparents. I remember when my Papa lived with us in Texas and I thought it was the coolest thing ever. All we have to do now is keep on top of when my folks are moving back to Colorado.
Not sure when Mom and Dad C will get out here. Dad C is not set to retire until July, so some time after that!
So that is their house (and their realtor). Exciting times. Exciting times.
Cravings: Mexican food
Weird stuff: Now I am really a klutz. I have dropped so much stuff in the last week it's not even funny.
I had lunch with Pat today and got to see some pics of the inside of the house--NICE! I think it is just great that your baby will get to grow up with Grandparents in the neighborhood--a win/win for all! Take care of that growing boy!

What a nice house! I cant wait to see it in person. I am really happy that they get to live so close to you, I know how much this means to Gary and Pat. Dena, you will probably have to ask for the baby back once Pat gets a hold of him:)
ReplyDeleteWe are all excited and can't wait. It sure makes visiting easier on so many levels. We can reasonably do Christmas with both families now and only travel once. I think that is the best part!
ReplyDeleteAnd folks are always welcome to visit us!
It’ll be nice to have someone take me golfing again. It seems like it’s been years since I’ve swung a club. Win/win indeed. Shripy will have two yards to mow, maybe his grand folks will actually pay him for lawn service if they haven’t zero-scaped by then.
