What Were We Thinking?

Whatever I said about Drew's Externship being a big adventure I was wrong. Announcing you're pregnant with your first child and that you're moving to a new state all in the matter of a few weeks of each other is an even bigger one. I mean seriously? What were we thinking?

I don't think we ever considered being in this situation a couple of months ago when we first started talking about expanding our family. Now if we went though with getting another dog instead, this whole not having Drew working and needing to find a new job thing wouldn't be that big of a deal. But thankfully its all worked out.

Drew had 2 interviews last week, one in Boise and the other in Reno. He was offered positions from both vascular labs and accepted the offer from Reno. There were a few factors in choosing Reno including a higher hourly wage, higher on-call wage and that we'll be closer to Chico and Redding and we have friends who live in Reno (who are expecting their first child any day). So just because I'm going to miss living by the water, all the green, my job and all the friends and family we have here (and the fact that I will probably get depressed every time I watch Grey's Anatomy) this move will be a good thing for Drew so it'll work out.

And I'm just thankful that we aren't doing this when I'm 7 months pregnant. That would have been a problem. I'm not showing yet and have only been sick once (crossing my fingers that it stays that way) so hopefully the actual act of moving won't be too bad. But we're still not moving for another 3 weeks and so a lot can change in that time. We still need to find a place and I'll need to find a job, but only part-time (yay!) and not necessarily right away either. Maybe now I'll have more time to be able to sit, write and update this blog like I've been saying for over a year. We'll see.

And since Drew isn't working he'll have plenty of time to do a lot packing, with me providing boxes from work. Well, he does have to study for his boards to complete his RVT (registered vascular technologist) registration, but he still gets to do the majority of the packing. I will help, I'm not totally lazy, but more so since I've become pregnant. And just so everyone knows (I think he may feel like he's not getting a lot of credit) he's been wonderful these last few weeks since we've found out. He's extremely excited about becoming a dad and has been waiting on me hand and foot.

Well, with that said, we have to start the actual physical act of moving. Which is my least favorite thing to do on the planet. I'm so tired of moving. Drew promises that we'll only have to move one more time after this. Still not sure if I believe him or not.
