"Miscarriage is a quiet funeral attended only by the immediate mourners."

The waiting was over. The worst was confirmed. The question remained: Where do we go from here?

"I 'squoze' so hard I stopped your heart from beating."

Even before we found out I was pregnant we had been toying with the idea of moving. Our one bedroom apartment was old news and we were so over not having enough space to live. And tripping over each other in a cramped space just wasn't an option anymore after we saw those two pink lines.

Off to Craig's List we went to find an apartment that fit us, our stuff, our baby and our budget. And eventually we found one! 

Good news, bad news.

I've just made public a post I wrote many months ago and saved as a draft. I intended to make that post public much sooner but then things changed. Considering the subject of the post was announcing my pregnancy, I no longer had a need to make it public since only one month after it was written, we lost our baby.

New digs!

My apologies, dear readers. I have been too wrapped up with many things happening in the last few weeks that I have slacked on bringing you all of the most minor of my life's details. D is in Belgium right now so I have some time to sit down, get my pictures together and show you what has been taking up the majority of my time lately!

D and I are finally all (for the most part) settled into our new apartment but still working out some left over decor issues. Here are some before shots:

Moving is awesome!

Except for the fact that it's not. It's so not awesome. At all. The new place is awesome. And it will be even more awesome when we get all our stuff in and we're all settled... but in the meantime? So completely the exact opposite of awesome.

We took the place I fell in love with and already have the key. Luckily we don't have to be out of our apartment now until the end of February. So we have the entire month to move. Fortunately we live close enough to the new place that we can pack things up and drive them over a few nights a week. All the big stuff will make the transition on Feb. 19th.

I can't wait to be in the new place. Everything is in disarray. I feel like I'm on an episode of Hoarders. And for those of you who think you have a messy house, I have photographic evidence that my living quarters are currently a million times worse than yours.

We may have found a new apartment...

...but taking it would be a leap of faith. It's in a six-unit building and the apartment we looked at is under renovations. A lot of them. We saw it today and it's a hot mess. However, we love the layout and I trust the owners of the building. They own a fabulous, luxury high rise close by that people pay a pretty penny to live in. I am confident that they are doing this right and the end result will be a beautiful apartment, completed in the time frame they promised, that we are very happy with.
