We're moving!.. locally

It's time to consolidate... even more. Our little 3 person unit is renting a house with my mom and sister AND cousin. Yes it will be crowded but we'll be saving money and it's a house! I'm excited to be in a house again, it's been 9 years of apartment living (well one was kind of a condo) which hasn't been a bad thing but there is more of a freedom type feeling when you are in a house. It's a 4 bedroom with a nice big living room and a huge back yard. I'm excited to give this place some personal touch. We have to be out of our current apartment by May 1st so we have April to move. And if a month sounds like plenty of time for you to get a move done, try it with a 3 month old baby. It will be a challenge balancing baby, work, moving and sleep but we'll figure it out.

I really want to paint this place! White WHITE walls are so off putting to me, something softer and warmer would be nice. The main challenge will be how to comfortably fit our bed, baby's crib, our clothes, books etc and baby's clothes, books and toys all into on bedroom! I think a trip to Ikea is in order.

Smiles

This is my little love! This is her trying to smile :-) She gives us more sweet smiles everyday! I can't wait till she starts to giggle.

Nap Time

Nap times are my time. So it will be some of those times when I can update this and do other me things. As of right now my little 7 1/2 week old baby, Ava, is sweetly sleeping in her pack & play. How long this will last is always a mystery. I have the fan on high and her pack & play mattress is set to vibrate. Let's see how much time that will give us...

My name is Deborah Schuster. My husband, John, has always loved the idea of me having a blog. I know that sounds strange but it's his computer geek nature. I always felt like I had nothing to write about, I still feel that way sometimes. However now I have a little peanut, and certain family members who would like updates on her. I do not intend to have this blog be all about baby, but baby is definitely the predominant thing in my life right now.

I just went back to work 3 days ago. Fortunately I am only working 3 days a week, the rest of the days I'm mommying it up. My husband and I are young parents ( 24 & 23) therefore I have very few parent friends. Our little Ava was a surprise. We were both pretty freaked, being that we had only been married a few months. I truly believe it was God's timing. That being said every day is challenging (to say the least) and wonderful.

Right now I intend for this place to be filled with my thoughts, rants, personal news and other random things.

.. I believe.... nap time is almost over.
