We got a LOT going on!

Hello all! We have been super busy lately so my constant blogging has gone to the back burner! :) Ryan's new position in his company is going well, but he has been traveling more because he is trying to establish all his new relationships and business contacts. We have decided that Owen and I are going to stay down here in Indiana with Ryan for the next few months instead of being up in Chi without Ryan during the week. So, that means I had to tell my boss that I would not be coming back to work, and that was really hard for me. I really love my job up there, and my boss, Tresa, is not only my boss, but she is one of my closest friends up there! So I was really sad making that decision, but we do not want Ryan missing out on Owen growing up, and I want to see my husband as much as I can:) so it was the best decision for us during this CRAZY time in our life. I have gone on a couple interviews down here for part-time work, I am only going to go back 3 times a week. My sister-in-law, Sarah, is going to watch Owen for now during that time, so it makes me feel better leaving him with a family member. It has been really nice because our families have really been helping us out, especially the past couple days while I have been going on interviews. Thanks everyone! :)

Owen has been doing well, we have established a pretty good routine even with going back and forth from my family to Ryan's family. I am glad he doesn't really mind his car seat :) Guinness, on the other hand, is struggling more and more getting in and out of our SUV...poor guy! Owen has been going through a growth spurt the past couple days, wanting to eat every three hours, even throughout the night! He was doing really well at night, only waking up once a night, sleeping for 4-5 hour stretches...so I guess I can't complain really, but I am hoping he goes back to that soon!!! But he does pretty well at night, he eats, then goes right back to sleep. thank goodness, so I am only up for about a half hour, then I go right back to sleep too. I just miss those NON-interrupted long sessions of sleep, but I guess I won't be having those for a very LONG time! :) Ryan and I went on our first date since the baby last weekend, Ry's family watched Owen...it was nice to go out with each other, but definitely wierd not having Owen :) with us.

So update on the house, well, we had a couple more showings, but no offers, it has been on the market now for a month. Our realtor still wants us to lower the price, basically to get some more online traffic in a different price range...but we want to wait it out a little longer...This is the biggest stressor in our lives right now. I just want the thing to sell, but I don't want us to get screwed too much either! Ryan and I went to Greenwood this past weekend and looked at houses around there...it is so crazy how BIG these houses are for the price, we are so use to the Chicago real estate market. We looked at a couple houses that were just down the street from my aunts that live up in that area, so that will be fun if we end up moving there, we will be super close to family!

So that is basically it for now, I am enjoying my last couple of weeks with Owen on my maternity leave, I plan on trying to start part-time work the week of November 15th...makes me sad, but I am also ready to start using my brain again :)
