Welcome to the Wonderful World of CHAOS!

Well ... apparently we don't like the dull and boring over at the Bost house. And why would you like to keep things "status quo" when you could live life in CRAZY MODE!

I haven't been around the blog world for a few weeks for a few reasons. One, I still can't quite remember that in order to blog, one must have a camera with them at all times and I usually come home to my camera sitting on the countertop - just where I left it. Two, we had quite a few "Baby Bost #2" appointments and that was causing a little stress in my brain-o. And three, just to balance out the baby stress, we sold our house and need to be out in 28 days! Which leads us to reason number 4 ... We spent most of one weekend buying a new house and most of last Saturday, buying new appliances for the new house! (Including a very fun RED washer and dryer set with a "kid cycle!" No more baths for JHB ... just stick him in the washer!!) Instead of freaking out (which I am very good at), I am trying to adjust to our "new normal" of CHAOS! Toys all over, half-packed boxes, constant phone calls to the mortgage company and builder, a brain that won't shut off because I can't quite figure out how we're going to fit everything in our new, slightly smaller house ... not to mention, finding time to grocery shop, keeping up on personal hygene and trying to schedule a LONG OVERDUE HAIRCUT so that when my friends actually see me emerge from hiding, I won't look like a sheepdog.

Just a few details on all the above mentioned craziness ... Baby Bost looks very healthy which is a huge praise. I had a Level II ultrasound last week and the brain is developed and the skull has closed. The genetic counselor called on Monday and said my bloodwork also looked very good - meaning the baby's chance for any sort of neural tube/spinal cord defect was LOW! And ... we're just moving to the other side of Agritopia, into a cute cottage with a view of the farm! It's a bit smaller than our house and has a WAY tiny sideyard ... but our mortgage will be much smaller and there are parks all over the place! So ... that is a huge praise as well.

Okay ... enough of the gabbing. Joshua is very into dumping things out of boxes these days and lucky for him, we have plenty of boxes and things to dump! He loves to climb in this tiny plastic box and just sit there! A bit odd but what can you do?

And he's so helpful moving boxes all over the place and calling for help when he needs it! (Mind you, he's using the Catch Phrase game as his phone ... he pushes the button, hears the man talk and says, "Ohhhh ... Haaalooooow!" Again, random ... but cute!)
