Update

The past few days I really just have not wanted to write. A mini break I guess. Really there are a ton of new things going on in our lives.

1. I am going home to the states next week! Tickets are bought and everything is ready to go. I will be staying until January 7th!! It's a long trip home but it will be great for Belle to spend some good time meeting everyone!

2. We have signed on an apartment in Rio. Which means that when I return to Brazil I will be moving into a new place! Good thing is that I don't have to help move and the new place is really quite :)

3. I have a new breast pump that a co-worker of Nate's brought back down with him... kinda funny to have a guy bring it down. I wonder what security was thinking. This means some free time for mommy!!

4. I have no idea how I am going to tell Claudia all the new stuff going on. Ugghhhh dreading this conversation!

5. I need to find a pediatrician in the US. I am actually nervous about this part because I get so much time with our pedi here that I fear I will be just a number in the US. Plus I don't want Belle to have to wait around and get so-so care.

6. Since I am going to be traveling to the US so much we are going to purchase a car to save on renting one and to make things really easy with Belle.

7. I am really nervous about flying with Belle. Thankfully Nate is escorting us to the US so I am not flying solo with a baby. The company bought a seat for her which will hold her car seat and then we have the bulkhead seats. The bulkhead seats are the seats that usually are sold for extra leg room but when you have a baby they place a bassinet on the wall. I wonder if she will even fit??

8. I am really nervous about spending the winter in the US. Brazil has warmed my blood so much I don't know if I can handle it!!

9. I am in desperate need of new clothes.... my yoga pants don't fit anymore because my prego belly stretched them out way too much. Belle also needs new clothes so it looks like I will be shopping quite a bit when I get home.

10. Oh, something random. Nate is starting to get grey hair!! I love it :) I bet that it's coming faster now that he has a sweet baby girl to look after!

That's all I got for now. I promise to keep up with the news this week and post pictures of our new place!

Off to get some sun before I head back to the US and get some alone time! Nate has Belle duty so he is going to do the feeding- wish him luck!

Tchau,
Sara
