We found a place to stay for the winter. It is about 45 minutes northeast of Ashland, up in the mountains. I have a good feeling about it, and we will have access to everything we have been wanting (shower/bathtub, toilet, electricity, water, internet). The place we are staying at has free-range peacocks and a lot of elk and deer. :) Kelley also got a job in Medford that he has been enjoying. He isn't getting a whole lot of hours, but he I am glad because I am due to give birth in less than 4 weeks now.
I had my 36 week midwife appointment, and everything is still great. I am ready to give birth now. And definitely excited to be able to hold my pee in throughout the night. :) I have decided to rest for the remainder of my pregnancy since I have been so active and all over the place. Running errands all day long and taking care of everything is wearing on me. I haven't had much downtime the whole pregnancy, and I can tell that my body wants it now. It will be a good time to catch up on some reading and cooking.
My Bug has yet to sell. I haven't had the money to fix the wheel bearings and sell it..so hoping someone will buy it at a discount and just fix it on their own. It is really a cheap fix..but I also don't want to drive an hour and a half round trip to get it done right now. I am really just ready for everything to be done and over with. I am truly just glad to have the Dolphin now and have insurance and title all taken care of.
Nothing else has really been going on. I was removed from the remainder of my unemployment because of government cuts. It has been a roller coaster with it really, being that I have been kicked off of it multiple times already, even after being laid off again. Oregon is definitely a place to make your own job, and not rely on a company for a paycheck. Kelley has applied for so many jobs, and only got one out of applying for 5 or so a day over a month. I really want to get back to Texas in the Spring and get the hours I need to transfer my massage license elsewhere, but I will need to be working for a company, and not myself unfortunately (Oregon Law), hence why I couldn't do it this time around. Ideally, I do not want to be doing anything else job wise.
I am still trying to make a registry list, but I would much rather have hand-me-downs of handmade clothing (knits), and warm baby clothes (newborn to 12 mos). If anyone has any of that, I'd be very grateful. :) I may be out of signal for a while until the internet is setup where we are staying, but will try to stay in contact. :) Sending love. :) My PO Box will still be the same until the end of December.
I asked Regina for the link to your blog. Hope that's okay. I'm so glad I did, because it's great to see your sweet baby bump! I have some clothes I'd like to send you. Please email me your PO Box (jmrcree@gmail.com).
