Delivery #1

We were overjoyed to learn that our household goods would be arriving today, but just like with our last move...it was only going to be a portion of our stuff. Womp, womp. The movers told us they'd be arriving between 10-2, and much to my delight they showed up at 10:30 this morning!! I can't remember if I mentioned this on the blog or not, but the company that packed us up in San Antonio was about 3-4 HOURS late all 4 days. It was absurd!! So the fact that this company in Las Vegas was punctual was a huge plus for us! But I'll admit I was a bit concerned we saw this roll up in front of our house today...

I mean, is this amateur hour?!?! How is this a legit moving truck?! The most comical part about this was when they showed up, they told us only a teeny bit of the stuff on the truck was ours so they had to go back to the warehouse to get the rest of our stuff. I'd say we maybe got half of our stuff with this delivery. On the bright side, we now have a table & chairs and a mattress/box springs for all 4 of us--HUGE improvement!!!! We got the majority of our kitchen stuff, so priority number one for us after the movers left was to get our kitchen/pantry completely organized & functional...so that feels REALLY good!!! But of course as luck would have it, so many other big things are missing. Most notably, we're missing our couches/living room furniture, guest bed (my parents are arriving soon, so we're bummed they won't have a bed to sleep on), & TV. Just like with our last move, we've got boxes & boxes of toys & books....but no shelving to put them on, which is super fun. ;)  And of course, we got all of our picture frames/wall décor, but we can't do anything with them b/c it's impossible to know how to decorate without furniture in place.

The girls found some of their toy boxes amidst the chaos ;)

As frustrating as these moving companies have been, we're just so thankful to have some of our stuff back and getting closer to "normal." But I have to admit, the moving industry totally baffles me. I get that it's PCS season & these companies are super busy, but this "busy season" happens every.single.year. Why do they act like they've never done this before?! I don't get why packing, loading, & delivering is so difficult?!

First meal with our table & chairs...HOORAY!!!!

Now fingers crossed we don't have to wait another two weeks for the rest of our stuff to make its way to us b/c we would really love nothing more than to be as settled as possible before Baby Boy makes his debut. I'm officially 39 weeks & 1 day, so the clock is definitely ticking! I'm still feeling great & haven't experienced any symptoms to indicate labor may be imminent, so we'll see! I had a pregnancy "first" the other day. I ran into Bath & Body Works really quickly to grab a new wall plug-in, and after greeting me the sales associate said: "I feel so bad that you're pregnant right now." I'm sure I probably had a weird look on my face b/c no one has ever said anything like that to me before. She quickly followed up & said she just meant she felt bad b/c it's so hot out right now in Las Vegas--highs hitting 115 this week. I assured her I had easy pregnancies, so I was good. ;)  I really wanted to tell her not only was I 39 weeks pregnant in 100 degree weather but that we were also in the midst of a move, but I refrained. ;)  I would have loved to see the look on her face though! ;)

So, delivery #1 is complete. Now we anxiously await delivery #2 of our household goods + the delivery of a sweet baby boy!!!
