Skipping Christmas

I hope y'all have been enjoying the holidays, while we were stuck slaving away, moving. We seem to have totally missed out on the holiday prep (packing instead), eating yummy food and relaxing (moving instead), and the gift exchange (with the baby on the way and the moving expenses, we kept it even lower key then usual). But, we now have a bigger home in which there is room for important stuff like a crib and other baby things, and hopefully we won't have to move for awhile now. As Hubby said, "I hope we don't have to move again till someone else is paying for it;" I personally suspect that even a paid-for move would be painful. One thing I would not recommend for sure: moving in the last months of pregnancy. Between not being allowed to lift things and having trouble bending over, as much as I tried to help, poor Hubby was stuck doing most of the work, and I am still exhausted anyways, and even picked up a cold along the way. I think unpacking is going to have to be taken very, very slowly.

SM - thanks, I think at least the fewer is lessening. We planned on unpacking for New Year's, but I think we will have to make a point of celebrating at least a little now that the time pressure of moving out of our previous place is off!

UR - yes, I think we need a break! Happy New Year to you too!

I've lost track. Did you move into a bigger rental in your current work location? You still have the place back in Ph.D. land?

Jennie - yes and yes. We will now have to commute a little, but we really needed more space.
