we are settling into our new apartment very nicely. we still love it, and we love living in the boonies. it's so quiet! and dark at night! brian especially loves the dark part. we are still tackling the piles of boxes, but progress is definitely being made. the kitchen is set, and my next project is the bathrooms. the bathrooms here have next to no storage in them, so we're having to figure out what to do about that.
better late than never, a recap of 2007:
january: we sell our house in sun prairie, and move to the ghetto. this makes me very depressed. abby also gets her first haircut! this makes me happy, because she's so cute. :)
february: my annual trip to st. louis for oscar weekend. i am pregnant for this trip, but don't know it yet. sushi, wine, and pomegranate martinis are consumed. abby colors lots of hearts.
march: on march 6, we find out that ian is on his way. the great potty-training project begins. i lose all my appetite and begin the almost-15-pound first-trimester weight loss.
april: nothing really happened. i lost more weight and had more food aversions.
may: i turn 29. we go to bratfest, which prompts abby to whine for a while, "i don't LIKE brats!" apparently she doesn't, anymore. brian and i eat lots of brats. mmmmm, sauerkraut and spicy mustard. abby also goes to her first parade, the monona memorial day parade. she approves.
june: cows on the concourse. abby gets to pet cows in the rain. i almost pass out. we also go to bay beach with the rogers clan. abby LOVES bay beach. we also have the big ultrasound where we find out that we're having a boy.
july: the annual trip to fremont. abby swims a LOT, and spends a lot of time running around. she also eats a LOT. we go on a hayride, too. brian and i celebrate our 5th wedding anniversary.
august: we drive to minneapolis for erin and ed's wedding. or as abby calls it, "erin's party!" abby enjoys dressing up and dancing. it is HOT there. we also go to the wisconsin state fair. it's hot there too, and i almost pass out again. abby enjoys looking at all the animals and eating her first cream puff. she still talks about the cream puff.
september: we go to the edgerton steam engine show with grandma and grandpa schultz, and great-aunt mary and great-uncle john. abby is now initiated into the ways of the schultz family. again, hot. we get to ride a train, too. brian turns 38.
october: abby's first real halloween, complete with trick-or-treating and costume. she is little bo-peep, and wears her costume to my doctor's appointment on halloween. everyone at the doctor's office loves her. i reach 36 weeks and immediately start getting frustrated that he's not born yet. the next month will go very slowly for everyone.
november: ian dale arrives! less than a week later we travel to appleton/menasha for thanksgiving.
december: adjustment on all ends to new baby and a new apartment. brian and i celebrate the 8th anniversary of our first meeting on new year's eve. goodbye 2007!
