You may or may not know that we are moving home from Singapore in 9 weeks. NINE WEEKS!
I have so many thoughts about all of this, and I don't even know where to begin. I'm a little overwhelmed with it all, and I have been S.I.C.K. for the last 3 weeks with this pregnancy. I called my doctor on Tuesday and begged for some medication, which she gladly prescribed. I'm feeling better, but still not wonderful. I don't think I've ever felt wonderful when I'm pregnant, so I guess this is pretty good!
I've already lost about 10 pounds (I'm 8 weeks, 3 days pregnant), and I'm hoping not to match my 25 pound weight loss with Levi. The medicine is helping, and I haven't been sick in 2 days now. It's definitely progress.
Now, about us moving back to Texas. I'm excited. I'm scared. I'm tired. I'm happy. I'm sad. I can't wait to live close to my sister again, but I'm not ready to leave our friends in Singapore behind. It's all a little much right now. And we have SO much to do before we can have the movers come and cram our stuff into a 20-foot container (read: we have a lot of stuff to sell/donate before that can happen).
That being said, I do daydream about shopping in an American grocery store (so many choices!) and going to Sonic for Happy Hour. And having a kitchen big enough to really prepare meals in, and a refrigerator that holds a gallon of anything. And a sink that's more than 4 inches deep, hot water that just magically appears in the tap, and a dishwasher. Ahhhh...a dishwasher.
We're looking at houses online, and we've found a few we really like. It's nice knowing that we don't have to sell a house before we can buy one, but it's a little stressful knowing that we cannot have our shipment from Singapore unloaded until we own a house because where in the world would we put it all?
We have a lot of major changes coming for our family in 2012. I'm clinging to this verse the whole way through:
In returning and rest you shall be saved; in quietness and in trust shall be your strength. ~Isaiah 30:15 ESV
