Checking in from MN!

The past few days have been rough with all of us trying to adjust but were getting there! My blog has a little update on our past week. I hope as I get used to this SAHM thing I'll be able to check in more! Hope ya'll are doing well!

  • Hi!

  • I am so head over heels for those birthday picture fail photos I cannot even believe it.

    Anyway.

    Adjusting is so hard. I was so homesick and miserable when I first moved to B-more, I got shingles. (I know, kind of gross, but really.) And I was moving to a more temperate climate! It seems like you guys are being so healthy about it, trying to get out and do activities instead of staying home and hiding. I'm sure Brock will get the hang of it soon- and once he does life will be easier for you! By the time Brody is born, he'll feel like he always lived up north! 

    Are you and/or Aaron baseball fans? Clint, May and I will be coming up for a Twins game in August this year...we should get together!!

  • Good to hear from you! Getting settled after a move like that always takes some time! Sounds like your embracing everything! 

    Love the new pics of Brock :)

  • there is a SAHM board on TB - yes I lurk - shut up.

    a lot of them talk highly of a lot of free activities ( libraries/book stores/even the mall )  

    good luck on getting settled. 

  • Glad to hear you're getting somewhat settled, good luck on the house search!

  • Glad you guys are settling in, can't believe how big Brock is getting.
  • Glad you guys are starting to adjust! Just think, it'll be Spring in no time! I've heard really good things about the aquarium at MOA, so you guys should definitely go check it out!

    There's a Mpls/St. Paul board on the bump and the nest. I've only been on the nest one, but everyone there was really nice and welcoming. Maybe go introduce yourself for some more free ideas of local stuff to do!

  • Now I've read your other blog post. Looks like you had a good day! Yay!

    P.S. How did you get Brock to drink milk from a sippy cup? Nate loves drinking water from sippies but refuses milk from anything but a bottle.

  • Hello.  What's your house like?  Do you like it as much as your other house? 

    Settling in does take time but I've found that sometimes after the settling in, it's way better than the old place of living.  Better friends or whatever...  Hope that happens for you.

  • About the sippy cup- We had been trying water for a couple of months and he refused every time. One day daycare put his milk in it and he took it. We haven't looked back since. He now drinks water and milk from his cup. It just clicked one day. I will miss daycare for doing the miserable things for me like weaning. I think he will just have a paci until he goes back to daycare and I'll let them deal with that one! Devil

    Arctic- We are in a corp. apt. right now and I hate it. Going from a 4 bedroom house to a 2 bedroom apt. blows. We are going tomorrow to keep looking for houses but we havent found anything worth putting an offer on yet. I think we may end up renting for a while.

    I joined the Minneapolis/St. Paul Bump board and am going to a GTG at the zoo on Monday so I hope I hit it off with a couple of the moms. I really suck/hate making friends. I'm kind of shy and stand offish until I feel comfortable then I will open up. I need to find mom friends that are laid back and will have a glass of wine during a play date Stick out tongue. I'm not sure that I'm going to find that here. The people I have met so far seem pretty straight laced. Hello mid-west!

    Seriously? My few groups of friends are total winos! And honestly, people look at you pretty funny if you don't drink around here. Hang in there, you'll make some friends! Just don't be put off when people are "Minnesota Nice". I always felt like everyone already had their friends and didn't really need another. They were all nice to me, just not super welcoming. So I started suggesting things, and started our book club. You just gotta get in there and do it!
