The move has been going great! We got the trailer on Saturday early afternoon and decided to staying in it that night! So, we went and got some things for the night and next day and moved in! Finally!
I was nervous about how the girls were gonna sleep in the same room and in this new place, so we had Brooklyn stay at the in-laws to make sure she wasn’t kept up all night if Natalie cried all night.
We prepared for the worst… Ryan went back to the duplex to sell a bed witch worked out great. Natalie missed her nap 2 days in a row- witch worked out even better- she was really sleepy! I had to stay with her for a couple mins then tried to leave and she whimpered, so I went back in and sat with her for a couple more mins, did that about 3 times and then went out once and didn’t have to come back in! Yay!
We decided to try out the queen bed that was in the trailer for the night as see how we liked it… we have problems with beds for some reason. And were nervous since after months of searching for returning and changing beds, we finally found a king bed that worked for us. Now, going back to a queen was not the most exciting thing in the world for us. Don’t get me wrong- we do love each other, but we love our space for sleeping. Lol. It was awful! It was so firm if felt like we were sleeping on rocks… my hips and elbows and knees (knees? I know!) were being dug into with every movement and stillness! Not much sleep at all for us! 6:30 am finally rolled around and I hear Natalie crying so I ran in and comforted her and then said from my bed 2 more times in the next 2 hours that it was ok and mommy and daddy were still here.
That was our first night! :)
The shower system… was better then I thought! Other then the fact that I just have to take a quick shower the only thing was the pressure wasn’t very strong. Good thing I just chopped off my hair, or I probably wouldn’t be so pleasantly surprised! Brooklyn liked to watch me do my makeup. :)
We got back our old pillow top queen bed yesterday and last nights sleep was MUCH better! So refreshed today! Natalie went to sleep with no fuss until, I think, she fell off the bed… lol :"( poor thing. We heard her kinda screaming crying at like 3 in the morning and I ran in to see what was wrong and she was sitting on the floor… We didn’t hear a thump, so I think she may have had her legs go and then the rest after…? Who knows… I put her back in quickly and I think she was still in shock and not woken up fully, because she went right back to sleep. Lol. I woke up a few times from about 8-9am and saw Natalie on the monitor playing with her bears, but being quiet. We all got up about 9:30am since we were so exhausted from the day before! All in all, a great night!
I went shopping for a few thing last night, so we were able to have our first breakfast in our home today!
We are learning to conserve, condense and keep tidy already! :) I am sure we will learn new strategies as we go along... and I will be sure to share them all with you!
That's it (Long, I know!) for our first couple days! Here are 2 pictures from the day/night before we moved.

This picture I thought was hilarious! As we were packing I found this note that Ryan wrote:

Much more on our exciting adventure to come!
