Trailer trash no more!

Now we both have jobs and what's more, we've bought a house! So we have somewhere to move before we get kicked out of the rental - woohoo! It's a bit of a doer-upper, "the worst house on the best street", but given it's a bit of a posh street (million dollar jobs up the high end of the street) it's not that bad. Certainly will be liveable until sometime after the baby arrives. Maybe we'll leave the reno's for a year or so. There is certainly nothing pressing that needs to be done. It's mainly just a bit of ugliness - daggy carpet and old style kitchen and bathrooms. I haven't really got any decent photos of it yet - the ones on the internet were almost enough to put us off it! I'll take some when we move in.

In baby news, I am starting to get kicked a fair bit. Nothing you can see yet - just me feeling it. He/she does quite a bit of kicking when I slouch - I'm getting trained into having better posture! We have the next scan this coming Tuesday so I'll stick a piccy up then. Oh and I should be able to tell you whether it's a boy or a girl!

Back to reality

I started a new job today - and so ends about 10 months of doing nothing but whatever I feel like. A bit sad in some ways - not the least of which is no longer being able to hang with hubby all day. But also kind of good. It's good to have somewhere to go and new people to meet. And having a little bit of money to spend won't hurt either.

Not that we'll be spending much (any) of it. Every little penny now has to get scraped up to buy a house. Though, with the lease running out on this place in October and luck being what it is, we'll most likely have to rent for another 12 months. This is not such a bad thing, except the concept of bringing a new baby home to a rental is not an entirely pleasing one. But in the scheme of things, that's not going to matter.

Speaking of babies, I have yet to break the news to the new boss. Not quite sure how to tackle that one. He was displeased enough to hear that his new starter would only be doing 4 days a week. How's he going to be when he finds out she's only going to be there for another 4 and a half months at best!
