One Last Night August 13, 2006
Tonight is our last night in the apartment. The movers are coming tomorrow morning, and we’ll be making the trip over to Houston in the afternoon/evening. I wish I could say that we’re 100% packed up and everything, but um, not so much. We’re making a ton of progress and will be by the end of the day, though.
I can’t believe we’re moving tomorrow. And I really can’t believe we’re moving into that house. It still hasn’t suck in that that’s our house.
I am excited, though. Dan and I have been living in apartments for over 10 years. It’s going to be strange to finally have a house, but I know it’s going to be a wonderful kind of strange.
In non-moving news, I got the results of my AFP test back. I really wasn’t patient enough to wait for someone to call me so I called my OB’s office Friday morning. It had been a week since I had the test done, so I figured that the results should be back. I left my message and waited.
Well, I got tired of waiting and was afraid that I wasn’t going to get a call back and thus would have to wait the weekend, so I called the lab where I had the test done. They gave me the results right away, and they were good. My risk of neural tube defects is 1:6682.
So, I guess the next time I post I’ll officially be a Texan again. Hopefully we’ll get our internet hooked up without problems, but who knows. I guess I can always “borrow” a neighbor’s wireless if need be. Gotta have our priorities, ya know.

Owning a home is one of the greatest (and hardest things) you will ever do. You are lucky that your house is so new, in some ways that will make things easier as you are not re-modeling, which is difficult. A home is a lot of work but it is a great investment and something you will take much pride in! Congratulations!!
On the pregnancy front, I am glad to hear that things are still going well. I am always anxious for more details. :)
Awesome results! And yay on becoming a Texan again, I can’t wait until I can do the same. :)
I hope the moving isn’t too much of a headache, hopefully you won’t be moving again for a long time.
Hugs!!! See you when you get it all settled!
Congrats on the awesome results =) Good luck with the move!
Good luck with the big move- see you on the other side!
And great news from the lab…. x
Good luck with the move, hope all goes well and hope that you get hooked up asap! Priorities!!!!
VERY EXCITING - CONGRATS!!
How exciting! We love owning our home, except when the pipes break–but being able to do whatever we darned well please with every room in the house makes up for that.
Hope the move goes very smoothly and your internet is soon up and working!
Great numbers! Good luck on the move!
Congrats all around! Wishing you a very smooth and painfree move.
Good luck with the move Amanda and glad to see everything is going well!
Just wanted to wish you luck with the move and welcome you to Texas : ) I live about 20 miles south of Houston for now but will be moving to the westside of Houston soon. I absolutely love it here, even with the traffic! The best advice I can give a new homeowner, especially in this area, is…hire a lawn service! We pay $20 per visit (once a week) and it is SO worth it. What used to take my husband a half-day to finish takes the crew about 10 minutes.
Congrats on the good news with your pregnancy as well!
Good luck with your move (and finishing packing!). I so love your house!
Glad to hear that things are going well!
Take care
Good luck with your move!
And yay for the results!
Congrats on the move and great results!
Dear Amanda, I hope your move goes without a hitch, and that you are soon cosily established in your beautiful new house in Texas.
I’m so glad about your results. Wonderful, wonderful news!
Good Luck with the move!
Great AFP numbers and hope the move goes smoothly!
Good luck. That’s a great house and how nice that you will be able to start a family there.
It’s weird moving into your first house. There’s so much to keep up after, sometimes I still long for the days of my one bedroom apt.
I’m glad your test results came back excellent. Two thumbs up for baby and you.
