I'm going to admit right here that I've not ready any of our may baby posts for ages... like well over a week. And right now, I'm too exhausted to go back over it all. But I promise... when the dust settles around here - I am going to go back and read up on what's been happening with all of you.

So I'm just doing a quick post to let you know what is happening with me:
- we settle on both of our houses on Wednesday.... although we got early access to our purchased house.
- we ripped out the kitchen, and at the moment I have cabinets; but no doors, not benchtop & no flooring
- floorboards were all repolished and look a treat
- we hired two Israeli travellers to paint the skirting and door/window frames; but they got more paint on our newly polished floorboards
- I have been working at the salon on Thursdays & Saturdays for the last 5 weeks. Finally did my final shift on Saturday.
- had a 4D scan done on the baby, and all is looking good. looks like a chubby baby.
- got an offer of $75,000 on my salon, which I am gladly accepting! Settlement on the 1st november which is also great.
- started moving house on Saturday afternoon. Yariv & the two travellers went nuts and moved 99% of the house in 6 hours. they just had a large ute type of van, so they made about 8 trips between the two houses. Shaun slept at my parents place, and yariv & I slept at the new house on Sat night.
- finished moving the furniture on Sunday. Went back to the old house tonight to pick up the last of stuff. Cleaner coming tomorrow to give it a good clean.
- saw my mum last Monday (first time in 8 years). She wasn't as painful as I expected her to be. Although 2 hours was more then enough time with her.
- trying to get Shaun to sleep in his car bed. Tried last night, which didn't work. So he slept in his cot. But in the morning he woke at 6am, and he & I slept together in his car bed. I snuck out around 9am, and he eventually got up and looked sooooo happy that he was able to get out of bed by himself and walk through the house.

Well... talking of Shaun... he's crying. So I better go and settle him down.
Then I have to attempt to unpack a few boxes, or clean out cupboards which have a layer of dust (from the floorboard polishing). Will catch up with you all soon.
