It seems like someone hit the fast-forward button on our lives. I still need to post on our AMAZING baby shower/going away party in San Antonio and my last day of work. But for now a few pictures of a day in the life of two crazy kids moving to Norway...
Boxes, boxes, everywhere!
We've been doing out part to keep Amazon (not to mention UPS, Fed-Ex, DHL, etc.) in business and putting our free month of Amazon Prime to good use.
Most of this stuff is baby items and cold weather gear (i.e. boots, coats.) You can't find a decent coat anywhere in Texas in March. Although, it's debatable if you can really find a Norway appropriate coat EVER in Texas.
One of the items I was most exited for was our stroller. Like a good engineer, Arthur did all the research on construction and durability and picked out the Mountain Buggy Terrain.
It's got huge tires for the cobblestone streets and sidewalks of Stavanger. And it's cute (which is why the engineer did the research and NOT me!) Here it is assembled with the bassinet.
We also made a HUGE splurge purchase on a nursing chair. Initially, I wanted a white glider with an ottoman from Babies-R-Us. However, it does not have a washable cover and seems to get pretty grubby over time. Arthur and I went to several furniture stores and finally settled on this rocker/recliner from Lay-Z-Boy.
This sucker is all about comfort and functionality. Although I feel a little grandma sitting in it with my heating pad, it is seriously comfortable and anything that takes the pressure off my lower back at this point is golden. I predict many long hours spent in this chair with our small fry. I look forward to them actually :)
I may not be posting until after our arrival in Norway. We're set to leave the states on March 26th and there's SO much to do between now and then!
Wow looks busy. I hate moving good luck. Agree no good winter clothes here. Rania
