A few days late on the post, but we are in the house! Can I just tell you I LOVE it! (minus the barking dogs and the fact that our brand new trash can was ALREADY stolen -ugh I guess the Allsops and filling out police reports is an ongoing event)
I would have DIED if it weren't for my parents. My mom basically packed and unpacked my entire kitchen, cleaned the house AND apartment, all the while telling me to sit down and rest. She saved my life! {seriously} Thanks to her, the remainder of the unpacking can be done in 'shifts' and we can actually live- ie sleep and eat.
My dad was a huge help too. For starters he brought half the garden with him in an extra suit case filled with the likes of home-grown peaches, nectarines, cucumbers, tomato's and the BEST CORN EVER!! {we've been rationing it} Dad spent half his visit to Texas at The Home Depot. and the other half sweating in the heat. While here he built me a garden box. We already had bees- YAY (remember this was my problem with apartment gardening) and a BUNCH of shelving in our garage! Not to mention pack the Uhaul like a professional.
My mom and I spent our fair share of time at The Home Depot as well {which mind you would have been cut in half if a male were with us} we were in the car and had to stick all sorts of shovel handles and wire racks out the sun roof. We died laughing (as did everyone who passed us) we may be the only Texan who don't own a truck. oh well, it worked!
Luckily for Michael he has a lot of friends and the move itself didn't take very long. Now to the getting settled part-
On a side note: I cry every time I drive by Sea World (which is everyday) knowing that it'll be another 6 months before I can ride a roller coaster again. and for what? feeling like I should be throwing up- not cool. We have family coming to visit and go to sea world and I already asked Michael if HE would be pregnant that day. (anybody know where I might be able to get an operation like this done?) see you in 6 months steel eel.
I'm convinced that the baby is a girl because no male would cause this much pain to a woman. Then a friend came back with the counter argument that no woman would do this to her own kind so who knows- either way this baby is SO grounded. No TV for a week. and I am SOO hoping the nausea ends soon.

Congratulations on your new house!!
Hope you feel better soon. You should start getting better in the next few weeks. I didn't get truly nausea free until week 14.
Suggestions: Of course eating saltine crackers, but you can take a dramamine tablet-one every morning and that will help the throw-up feeling, (it is okay to take when you are pregnant), also, get those sea-bands for your wrists...wear those 24/7. Those are all things you can do to curb the sickness. It won't make you 100% better, but it should help.
Good Luck!
Hooray for Ross and Mary! It is so great to have family help with the move.
Good luck settling in. We have been in a year and I just unpacked the last box of random crap. It sure went to DI. I don't even know why it made the move...?
Good luck with the nausea. Nothing worse than pregnant sick! I know you don't believe it now (as I puke, I don't) but it will pay off!!
Love ya- DanaLee
Boy Sunday was lonesome without you two!! But we are THRILLED you are in your house and now your garden can grow!!! We can't wait to come visit. Sorry about the no ride rules, I felt the same way about wanting to go to Disneyland with the family, but what is the point of that!!
Glad you're in, but not glad you feel like poop. Also, I'm pretty jealous that you have yummy garden veggies...I may have to come up and help dispose of them!
Ahem. Where is the pictures of this so called garden? And I hope there was a picture of the suitcase!! I really feel bad for you and the steel eel. I dream about that roller coaster.
Just think--maybe we can try to fit Baby Allsop, you, me and Ella in a paint can in the future--something to laugh about. I wondered why 3 suitcases were needed for a short trip--now I understand. I'm sure security is still chuckling. Good thing they flew on Southwest!!
Umm...I was just wondering if I could petition for some pregnancy pics up on the blog. If so...consider this my petition!
Yuck. Sounds awful. And this is supposed to make me want children? :)
I'm glad the move went well, and you have a garden! I ate home grown veggies last week in UT, and I don't know if I can buy tomatoes from the store anymore. They are so much better grown! I can't wait for my own, but I guess I'll have to since we're nowhere near getting a house.
