It's a busy, busy, time for the Watson clan! We continue to push forward with our remodeling projects and packing. Last week we finally gave up and made several trips to the storage unit so that we could actually walk through our garage. This week it looks like the weather will keep us indoors so we'll finish up painting, tiling, and staging. Hopefully the realtor will come early next week and get this place on the market!
I think that Carey had a change of heart about posting his rank list. We have too many connections with people at all of our interview places so he is not willing discuss anything that may jeopardize anyone's decision. I don't blame him. It's a political game and all is fair. However, I can mention our top places in RANDOM order just to give everyone an idea: Temple, Tx; Pittsburgh, PA; Cincinnati, Oh; Birmingham, Al; Houston, Tx. I am so anxious about Match Day that I almost don't know what to do with myself. Some of you may know that patience isn't a strength of mine. The next 24 days will be filled with so much anticipation that I could drive Carey to drinking. 24 days. I can do this.
AGW has been very busy lately too. She loves to help and clean. You can imagine that she is a big help with all of these projects! Her favorite things to do are boss us around and steal a brush of any kind (paint brush, hair brush, toilet brush) and scrub the walls. Have you ever known a kid to do that? Of course, I let her. It makes her feel like she is involved in the projects and keeps her very busy. Other than that, we are still fighting the terrible two's. So far I'm surviving and she's winning.
On to Baby Watson #2. I'm eating meat again. Carey says that means it's a boy. I actually asked to go to Chicken Express today and that pretty much convinced him. I hate Chicken Express. I haven't eaten this much meat in years (literally). Last week I lived on all things dipped in mustard. I dipped egg rolls, pizza, and my favorite, grape tomatoes. At least tomatoes are healthy. We are about 7 weeks now, so it's still very early. Initially I hoped to get into the "safe zone" before making the big announcement, but I just couldn't wait any longer! I found out extremely early (less than 2 weeks prego) so I've held it in for about a month. Not bad for a girl with little patience.
This time around has been very different than with AGW. I never, not once, had morning sickness with her. She saved all of her issues for the end of pregnancy (she was breech and refused to turn back around when they did the external rotation leading to a c-section). This baby has started out with intense headaches, lots of nausea, and extreme fatigue. Maybe that means it's a boy. Carey would like a boy. I would too except we already have all of the girl stuff. A girl would be easiest. So... it's probably a boy! :) We'll be happy either way!
