And so it begins...

Things have finally started to come together.  Our lot, which was supposed be cleared like 2 weeks ago has some progress on it.  First on monday, there was a new sign leaning against the port a potty.  You know one of those signs that say what lot number it is, just in case nobody can figure it out.  After all it's probably the only house that is actively being built in charlotte county.  Personally i think it's kinda funny that it's leaning up against the port a potty.  A nice big strong gust of wind and away it goes, surely to get all the construction workers confused as to which lot it is.  Then on tues, amazing enough, the Lot is FINALLY cleared... Well sort of.  Most of the trees and shrubs are in a big pile near the back of the lot.  I think some of the trees that were on the plan got taken down by accident considering that we didn't know and didn't mark those trees.  At least we can plant new ones after we move in, in four to six months not fortysix months!

Thanks to my lovely dog, we now have to buy another power adapter for our macbook.  Apparently, after eating and relaxing on the couch, he decided to use it as dental floss.  Hopefully he got a little shock when he chewed right through it, considering this is the second time this has happened.  However, the first time he didn't manage to chew threw it completely like he did this time only enough to make it potentially electrifying if used.  So off to spend another eighty dollars buying another one.  Hopefully it will last longer than a year this time.  Another interesting note is how he sleeps now.  He has totally claimed the bed as his own.  I'm just surprised he hasn't peed on it to mark his territory.  Instead of laying parallel with everyone in the bed (would ensure the most room) he likes to maneuver his way to laying perpendicular to everybody in the bed.  From there he'll push his way up and over so i find myself all the way to the edge of the bed with only half of the covers covering me.  Repositioning him is accomplished with a few grunts and groans (from both of us) without even lifting his head or legs while heaving his 80lb dead weight around. 

As for my wife, She hit the lucky 13 week mark this past week.  Her belly is getting bigger and is getting harder and harder to hide.  That's the good news.  The bad news is that unfortunately nothing is quite like being pregnant and catching a cold or a sinus infection and nothing can be done or taken for it.  Suffering it out is the only thing that can be done.  Hopefully, her nausea symptoms may soon subside and she'll be able to enjoy this pregnancy a little more.  As for me, i'm still counting down the days until things start to change as all our new plans become reality.
