Moved in...

...but far from unpacked. The move went pretty well though. I am so impressed with our movers, who have a special set of challenges moving in the city where parking is not guaranteed. We were able to buy "no parking" signs for underneath our building for the move out, but it was a free-for-all at the new place in the city. In a duo of parking miracles, J and I arrived in our car about 15 minutes ahead of the movers and found a parking space just one door down from our new place. Thanks to my expert parallel parking skills, I was able to squeeze into the tight spot and we could start unloading the kitties and other precious cargo. (The cats were put into the bathroom, where they nervously hung out in the bathtub while all the unloading ensued...) So a few minutes later I look out the front window to see that the moving truck has arrived. Fortunately, there is a fire hydrant just in front of our building, which is about the length of 2 cars (or a fire truck, I guess). I could not believe my eyes - they were squeezing the truck into this tight spot and as I looked down, the movers were out on the street guiding the driver, to keep him from hitting the cars in front and behind. And guess what kind of car was parked right behind the truck? A Porsche. They were backing this huge truck up to literally 2 inches from the hood of this Porsche. I leaned out the window and shouted "Please don't hit the Porsche!". One of the movers looks up at me and asks, "Is that your car?" "I wish!", I said. In fact, I think I would have been less concerned about them hitting it if it had been my car. But now that I think about it, I'm sure they have insurance for that sort of thing. Anyway, the spot was just a little too tight for them to get in, so what do they do? They shove the Honda parked in front of the truck out of the way. It was not so easy to move - three guys gave it a few good shoves and they were able to move it forward the extra six inches they needed to squeeze the truck in. It was seriously impressive! That was pretty much the highlight of the move for me.

Other than that, things went smoothly. We have been unpacking since Saturday and still have tons of boxes to deal with. My biggest challenge is the kitchen, which is about 1/3 the size of our old place and has no pantry and very little cabinet space. We need to go to Ikea to get some storage to mount on the walls, so I'll have a place to put everything. We'll do that this Friday. Today I just need to tackle more boxes...

In other news, I wrote my nurses today to ask for a progress report on our donor. She started stims on Sunday and had her first ultrasound yesterday. She had 14 follicles yesterday. I thought that seemed a little low, considering I usually have around 12 myself. But the nurse said it was still early and she could have more than that. She has another ultrasound tomorrow, so we'll see. What do you guys think? (Honestly...) So now I have something to obsess about!
