Settling In

I can't believe that nearly a week has gone by without a post; we've all been adjusting to living in a new home in a 'new' place. Some things are good, like the fact that we have family members close by that love to visit and even like to have our kids over for sleepovers. Others are mixed blessings, like the fact that Mr. Fob got promoted to full-time at his job. Yes, it's a blessing, since the money is great, but it's an adjustment for all of us as he transitions to working that many hours a week. Plus his company is too small to offer benefits so we've spent many hours this week trying to arrange some sort of insurance coverage for us. I'm hoping Mr. Fob will get some sort of benefited position at a local library before next February so this baby doesn't bankrupt us. If not, at least we're saving our money now.

I've also been avoiding posting because I don't want to spend all my time moaning about how crappy I feel. I already did that last pregnancy. Some days I'm more fatigued than nauseated, others more nauseated than fatigued. Mostly I just want to lounge on the couch and eat ice cream, but sadly I have children that won't allow me to do that. We've been filling our time with other good things. Playing with cousins, shopping at DI (today I found this for only 75 cents!), going to the swimming pool, riding bikes in the driveway, summer reading at the library. Slowly I'm learning how to be the full-time mom; it will probably be easier when I want to eat something besides sour gummy bears and french fries.
