The Last Post Form Georgia

Wow, moving has really taken a toll on the blog! Between a last minuet house hunting expedition, going away celebrations (complete with a surprise baby shower!) and now packing, I haven't had much time to sit and reflect.... So, this is it. The movers are here packing everything up and I am hiding out across the street at the Booth's. I can't believe the day is finally here. We are leaving Georgia.

By Thursday we will be in Kansas for a week, and then it is off to our new life on the West Coast. California here we come!

I don't have much to say right now. I am too overwhelmed. I can't say this has been an entirely stress free event. Nor can I say that I have managed it all as well as I would have liked. At least we are nearly home free. I just hope my little bun-in-the-oven hasn't suffered too many ill effects from my stress. It is so hard leaving everyone we know and love to start a new life on the opposite end of the country. For all the reasons it is thrilling it is also sad. I am going to desperately miss being a days drive from my family, next door from the most INCREDIBLE neighbors a person could wish for, and all of the great friends who I have been close to over the last few years.

Surely, an adventure awaits. Watching Jacob navigate his new career will be fascinating and the baby will be here before we know it! I will hit the ground running in CA looking for a health care provider who will support my desire to have a 100% natural childbirth. Wish me luck! The only hospital in Fremont, CA doesn’t allow midwives to deliver babies, so there is the first obstacle. I will also be looking in to joining a local breach of La Leche League, and possibly interviewing for a Doula, so I will have plenty to write about...once I get the computer unpacked! Until then faithful readers, (Mom and Dad!) I bid you farewell!

Good-Bye Georgia!
