Packing, Moving and Registering

I'm so sorry to have neglected my blog lately.  Life has been so crazy lately.  We are in the midst of packing up our house. We will be completely moved by Tuesday which seems so soon! Although, we are definitley ready.

Our Pods are being delivered on Monday since we are putting everything in storage until we find our dream home. Since we can't get a firm time of when the Pods are delivering, the movers arrive on Tuesday, along with the cleaners.  Oh and at the same time the final walk thru is in the afternoon. What can I say, we like to do a lot at the same time.  As a result we aren't going anywhere for Thanksgiving. :-)

Although things are hectic I have to stop and think about how truly blessed I am to have so many wonderful people in my life. My Aunt has graciously offer to throw me a baby shower in Decemeber.  When it comes to registering I am completely clueless!  Thank God for Nicole and Melissa! They have taken over the registry and picked out the cutest, practical stuff ever! I feel like one of those rich girls that has a wedding planner.  Except I have a feeling that at 2AM no one thanks their wedding planner and I know I will be thanking my sister friends.

The next post will most likely be after the move and I hope to include pictures of the new rental place as well. :-)

    that is smart to have your shower early. i was around 35 wks at mine and was not so comfortable. i still inisisted on wearing heels and my feet were not very happy! you need to do a post on what "big" stuff you are registering for and if you can't decide between things your dedicated readers can help! also, i really want to see the bedding/room stuff you choose. i loved picking molly's stuff out, but it was pretty overwhelming. there are soooo many cute girl crib sets. good luck with the move and i cant wait to see the new place!

    Nicole is the queen of a registry. I know that everything is crazy right now, but it will be perfect when Lady Leon is here!

    Cant wait to see pictures. I will have to get your new address too! Who would of thought we would both sell our house right at the same time! I hope you find your dream house soon! Are you staying at home or going back to work? Just curious :)

    Super excited for you and your adventure. Lots of change at once is the way to go - too much going on to stop and have time to be nervous :)

The First Day of Daycare and other happenings

Last week we started daycare.  The reason I say we is because Darren and I both had to get used to the new routine and the morning I took Stella really felt like my first day at school. How weird am I? The minute we entered the daycare I felt good though. It smelled like blueberry muffins first of all! I mean, an ax murder's house doesn't smell like blueberry muffins right? When we walked into the infant room the three babies that were there were all smiles and the teacher was very sweet.  Stella on the other hand wasn't so easy. It was actually time for a nap for her and her lower lip started quivering and she gave me this sad little face. I had to keep telling myself it wasn't separation anxiety because she's way too young for that. I picked her up and started rocking her and then gave her to another teacher who was excited to hold her and figured out immediately that Stella loves being propped on a shoulder.  I felt really good about leaving but it still took m...

That's a Real Baby!

Darren and I got to see our little baby this week! He/she is measuring 13 weeks and 1 day and everything looked healthy. This picture cracks me up because the baby looks like it's pouting because we woke it up.  We did though, the tech was pushing on my belly like I do when I'm trying to get into pair of jeans that are too small!  Baby Hawk wouldn't move! Enter the Kashi cereal bar.  I hadn't eaten in nearly 4 hours (the appointment was VERY long) so I ate my Kashi bar that I always keep in my purse for ultrasound emergencies. BOOM, baby Hawk was wiggling and sucking and even looked like he/she was sucking it's thumb! Yes, this is indeed my baby, I go nuts for food too! I do think the profile looks like Darren though. Darren makes this cute pouty face when he's being funny.  So, the mystery is solved, this is Darren's baby. Whew, we were wondering. I'm totally kidding people! This picture is sort of creepy to me but I must share my 3-D picture. I...

From Doer to Leader, 5 Tips to Make the Transition

You did it! You got the promotion and now manage a team. It doesn't matter if it's a team of 1 or 100 your skill set must shift from doer to leader. While many a doer get promoted, few take on the actual characteristics of a leader. Instead they stay in doer mode causing frustration, resentment and turnover in their organization. This is what I refer to as "death by doer." Killing all hope, creativity and productivity of a team. Don't become the grim reaper of your team. Instead adopt these simple behaviors to ignite passion in your group and share your doer gifts. Stop doing and starting teaching Why were you such a successful doer? Because you thought differently than your peers. It's time to share that thinking with your team. As a leader it's your job to teach your team how to think, not what to think. Many a leader get caught up in micromanaging tasks. They believe there is only one way to accomplish a task and it's theirs. This is the u...
