Another Move

We recently moved from my parent's house over to my in-laws house in preparation for baby #2.  My in-laws were kind enough to let us take over their entire basement for the next six months so that we can have separate rooms for the kiddos.  We also have a living room and laundry room in the basement too which will be much better for having a new baby.  But emotionally it was a hard move for me and for Nathan but we wanted to move now so that we have a few months to settle in before the baby comes.

Nathan has been doing okay with the transition, actually better than I thought he would.  The first night he cried and cried for my mom and sister and ended up crying himself to sleep in his new room.  The last few he has done much better, mostly because I think he has been too exhausted by the end of the day and pretty much just passes out.  He has figured out where his toys are, where to find Matt and me, and where Annie hangs out.  But he has still been a little bit off.

So I was extremely nervous for our first day of church yesterday.  I didn't know how he would react to being left in a new nursery with different leaders and different kids.  Luckily for us there are about twelve kids in the nursery and they have basketball hoops and basketballs and so as soon as Nathan saw the balls he ran off and didn't even look back.  The nursery leaders were awesome too, one was actually my old high school seminary teacher so I felt much better than leaving him with a stranger. 
Nathan stayed in nursery the entire time (which he has only done two other times) and when I went to pick him up I could hear him laughing and squealing outside the door and the teachers said he did fantastic!  All I can say is thank goodness for good nursery leaders because if Nathan would have had a meltdown I think I would have had one right alongside him.

I really hate moving.  Part of it is that I am pretty shy and it takes me a while to really feel comfortable in a new place.  Part of it will be living with my in-laws and part of it is dealing with change.  Definitely the hardest part about deciding to move for me was how it would affect Nathan and how he would adjust to the changes.  Especially with the new baby coming and then just a few months later moving again!  I'm so relieved he is doing so well and I'm just hoping and praying that our next move will be our last move forever!
