It'a a Girl!

Can you believe it? We are having a girl! I was shocked when they told us. Part of me is afraid they will tell me at the next one a mistake was made and it was a boy. I haven't rushed out to buy anything but a few friends have already bought something and another friend is giving me stuff from her two girls. My husband is over the moon. He has big plans for daddy's little girl already. He wants to build her a princess bed and do whatever she wants. Ugh.

Today is our last day in NYC. I am very sad to be moving. My son is going to miss his friends at school a lot. I am going to miss my friends too. Our apartment is big enough for the 3 of us but 4 will really push it. I know others do more with less but we have to move. I'm stressed about the commute and how it will affect daycare. I don't want my son in daycare 11 hours a day because I am commuting. I've already asked to work from home on Fridays and I'll try to work on the train other days to leave at a decent hour. My firm seems willing to work with me on this so I hope it works out.

I had found someone to do a basic pre-moving in clean of our house. I found them on Craigslist and I was pretty nervous about letting someone in without us being there. Come to find out, the person I chose is our neighbor and babysits also. She seems to be pretty nice. I think its crazy of all the people we could have found I stumbled across the person right behind us. I have been very worried about not having a backup sitter in case of emergency and this feels like divine intervention.

I have lots to do today, including picking up my car. Crazy, I have a car again. Until later...
