VERY busy

It's been a crazy couple of weeks. Amy slipped a disk in her back while packing for our move to the new house. She's been unable to bend and lift anything (even as small as a purse) ever since and has found this VERY frustrating. She's been staying at home with her Mom so that she can get taken to the places she needs to go and have someone help her.
This Thursday we closed on the new house, and on Friday morning the movers came to pack up the apartment. They loaded the truck Monday and were supposed to deliver the stuff on Tuesday, but when Amy called to ask what time they'd be arriving they told us - for the first time! - that they were short some drivers and would not be delivering all of our earthly possessions until the next Monday. Needless to say we found this a highly inconvenient arrangement. Amy was able to convince them that her labor was imminent and that she needed her baby stuff which was on the truck, so they bumped the date up to Wednesday (tommorrow) - we're hoping they follow through on this!
In the meantime Amy, Mrs. Sceviour, Lindsey, and Lindsey's friend had a busy day at the new house with Lindsey and friend painting a first coat in the nursery and Amy and Mom taking delivery of Washer/Dryer and Refrigerator, being measured for blinds, having internet set-up, and having repairmen in the house repairing some new-home bugs.
That may have been long, but we assure you, it's the SHORT version!

Good News!

I went to the doctor today and she discovered that the baby has turned to the head down position!

and I thought I wasn't going to get big....

Here are the latest pictures! I never thought I would be this big and I still have over 5 weeks to go!

July 4th Trip to Savannah

To change things up from our usual routine of spending time in Atlanta together, Amy drove down to Macon to come to see me for July 4th. We considered going to see a concert with fireworks performed by Warner Robins High School Bands, the Air Force Band, and Lee Greenwood (Singer of "I'm Proud to Be an American"), but when we drove by the stadium it was a complete MADHOUSE with probably 30-40,000 people and every parking lot within a mile packed full. Since long walks from parking, lack of adequate seating, and long lines for bathrooms are not pregnant-people friendly we decided against it. On the morning of July 4th Amy and I had no plans. She said, "I wish we were at the beach for July 4th." We realized that Savannah was only 2 and a half hours from Macon so on the spot we decided to go. In Savannah we went for a walk down River Street stopping for Chocolate Pralines, Fudge, Salt-water Taffee and a Snow Cone (we're on the all-sugar, all-the-time diet). After getting a good sugar buzz we went out to Tybee island for some sand and surf. Since we didn't know we were going to the beach that day, neither of us brought our bathing suits so we didn't stay long on the beach, but it was nice to get some sand between our toes and feel the ocean water lapping on our legs. Attached are some pictures of the sights we saw.
