Part of the moving process that I dread is the "eating-everything-in-the-kitchen-before-you-go" stage of moving. Right now I have a two week dinner menu made up based upon the contents of our cupboards. So far, we've had one miserable failure, and one surprising success. The miserable failure consisted of a meal we deemed to be made with freezer burned (or just plain too old) meat. Yeah, yuck is right.
Tonight, we had a salmon pasta (pantry contents: macaroni, canned salmon) that was super easy to make. A can of salmon, a packet of Knorr's garlic cream sauce, a teaspoon of lemon juice, onions, mushrooms, and macaroni. Voila! Dinner!

Our dog can't sense nothing
Everyone keeps asking if Elly's changed her behavior because I'm pregnant. Unless chewing on her bone non-stop counts, then no. She hasn't. Daddy P and I held our breath when she put her head on my tummy, but she didn't seem to notice 1) the tummy, or 2) the squirming in the tummy. Instead she just wanted dinner.

Totally desensitived to fake baby sounds.
Check.
Elly no longer cares if a baby cries through the speakers. Now let's see if she cares about real babies crying. Anyone want to volunteer to bring over their crying baby? We're looking for a volunteer people. Anyone?

The Doctor Search
One part of our move that has proven to be trickier than I'd anticipated is transferring to a new doctor's office. We went to a highly recommended doc (who is actually a google search fav apparently) and ended up waiting for 2 hours (I kid you not) to see him. Daddy P is much more patient than I am and we did stay and wait. But let me back up.
First of all, our current office is small, homey, with a little kids area in the waiting room, and probably 4 docs and 3 midwives. We walk into this office and it is cold, sterile, and very "manly" (I hate to rely on stereotypes here, but there was evidence everywhere you looked that only men worked in this office). Thirty women or so sat waiting for one of the 6 or 7 docs the practice has. We joined them. After 1 1/2 hrs. they put us in his office to wait the remaining 1/2 hour.
He was nice enough. And frankly, he had good reason to be late, having been out delivering babies and all. But I left less than satisfied, and after much thinking have decided to continue our search. Luckily I get to see our fav mid-wife one more time before we move, so there will be no loss in continuity of care. And our search continues...

Back to the grind
Well, we are back at home, and after waaaayyyyy too much drama, have secured an apartment for our move.
But on to bigger things -- two babies in a week! Congrats Jenn and Jon (and Madeline, the new addition) and Susanna and Dan (and Eleanor)!
