Settling in.

Moving has gone well.  Unpacking is slow because this lady is EXHAUSTED from being super pregnant.  I am happy to report that boxes are getting unpacked gradually, but we are still dodging boxes daily.  Oh well.  We'll get around to it eventually.  =)

Today, I was working on boxes in Jonah's room and decided to get the crib pieces unwrapped.  I noticed a small sliver of wood that had broken off, and kept unwrapping.  It wasn't until I completely unwrapped it that I noticed one of the spindles had been pushed out of the track and the sliver of wood was actually going to be more trouble than I initially thought.  Sad!  We were lucky though, because the crib has been our only casualty thus far in the entire move.  AND it was a crib that was given to us...it had been used for 15 years before we got it two years ago!  It was well loved.

I managed to find a very nice crib and changing table for less than $100 on Craigslist, though, and the sellers were even willing to deliver!  This is a big plus as our vehicles haven't made it from Georgia yet (I'll explain), so we have nothing but the rental, a Chrysler 300, to get around in.  She was even willing to deliver today!  Excellent transaction.  Thanks, Craigslist!

So, the cars.  We hired this company called Direct Express Auto Transport to ship our cars.  They were rated an A+ by the BBB and were by far the cheapest I found online, so I figured they were solid.  They said they'd pick up the cars in 1-7 days from our specified date, which was March 3.  Well, on March 11, we still had not heard from them.  When we called to inquire, they said, "90% of the time, the vehicles are picked up between 1-7 days from the specified date."  Levi was furious!  He asked, "So it could be 1-7 days....or a month?"  She repeated that it was 1-7 days 90% of the time.  We decided to give them 14 days, and if they hadn't picked up the cars by then, we would go with another company.

Guess what?  We had to go with another company.  This time we chose National Transport LLC.  The price was about $500 more, but at this point...who really cares?  We already spent almost that much on the three weeks we've had to rent the car.  Anyway, they promised to pick up the cars in 1-2 days, and they are scheduled to pick them up tomorrow.  It will take between 5-6 days for them to arrive, and I can't wait!  I miss my Pilot.

ALSO!  We packed stuff in the cars.  Important stuff.  Like Oliver's wagon.  Why is his wagon so important, you ask?  Well, we live at the back of the apartment complex, and our apartment is on the back side of the building.  Meaning when we park, we have a bit of a ways to walk just to get to the front door.  Meaning when I make a Sam's run (or buy a crib on Craigslist!), we (read: Levi!  Ha.) have to walk quite a ways home!  I can not WAIT to have that wagon.  Grocery shopping will be much easier on this old pregnant lady!

I've also met my new OB AND Oliver and Jonah's new pediatrician.  I love them both!  Levi had a doctor's appointment as well to get a new script for his blood pressure meds, and he wasn't crazy about her.  We'll be shopping around a bit more on a family doctor.  More importantly, we've scheduled the date that we will meet our little Jonah man!  April 26th at 12:30pm!  I'm not thrilled about waiting all day long for surgery (because I can't eat...grumpy me!), but we scheduled it that way because Levi's parents and his siblings will be in town, but only until the 30th.  This way, they will get to see Jonah more often before they leave town, as our other option was to deliver on the 28th.  My parents (probably just my Mom, actually) will come after they leave.  I'm excited to have my Mom come out!  She's never been to Colorado before, and she has a friend nearby.  And she'll cook me delicious Korean food.  =D

Things are settling in nicely.  I have to say I love it here more and more every day!  I feel super blessed to be here, even without my friends and family (Well, we do have some family here!  Amazing, awesome family!), because I feel like it's bringing my own little family closer together.  We have spent so much time being together as a family these past two weeks and it has really benefited our relationships.  Levi and I have taken Oliver to the playground as often as we can, done our shopping as a family, and spent almost every evening together.  It's a nice change from the rut I think we were in while we were in Georgia.  It's a breath of fresh, mountain air, that's for sure!

And speaking of settling in, it's way past my bed time!  More to come!
