Actually I went down today to try and get the keys but the maintenance guys are still laying new floor tiles, putting in the new fridge, blinds etc so we can't get the keys yet, but when James and Gloria come by this evening to take a look the security guy will let us in to take a peek and crack open the bubbly. And yes before anyone starts I AM having a glass of champagne. Are you kidding me it's friggin Tattinger man....
Anyway she'll give me the keys on Friday so that we can start moving stuff downstairs. Well I thought I might start wrapping up plates, stem ware etc and get that boxed up, then all the other stuff, you know stuff in back of closets that either needs chucking or boxing, ready to move...
I must admit I'm a little anxious about moving AGAIN, and I'm going to miss our flat, it's beautifully and bright, and our little love nest upstairs is the cutest ever, but I don't want to mention that to Stephen as he's already feeling a bit anxious himself as he's been there for like 8 years, so this is big for him. Losing the view is the worst, the Hudson River AND The Empire State Building which we love to look at most evenings. But hey we'd eventually lose the view anyway as they're erecting a new building outside ours anyway....
So yeah we're on the move....very exciting, a little daunting as we do have to build two bedrooms, but Luis and Kat are coming round tomorrow for supper, so we'll get him to take some measurements and then he'll get back to us with time and costs....
So what else oh yeah so yesterday I had a shit load of blood taken for them to give to genetics as part of the amniocentesis which i will be having May 10th (aarrrgghh), so about 7 vials were taken, then they sent me on my way. To be honest a little scary as by the time I walked from 34th Street and Madison back to mine over on the West Side Highway practically and Bethune I was dying. Too much time without food after having that much blood taken. I was nearly dropping by the time I got to work, so I bought myself a roast beef sandwich and literally chugged that sucker down....
I actually didn't feel right all day and got Stephen to make me steak with asparagus and new potatoes for dinner last night as I really needed the red meat... Let me tell you it was truly delicious, so I'm keeping him, yeah decided to keep him around for a little longer you know....
So yeah I'm a little anxious about the amniocentesis procedure, but we have an appointment Monday afternoon to get counselled on it, as it's no small feet, and apparently the day of AND after I have to remain completely relaxed and still, like no walking around, gyming, nada. So I need to get some magazines and chocolate chop chop or I will go nuts. Then again if it's a beautiful day I may go up to the roof of my friends place (it's only around the corner) and hang out with her, IF she doesn't mind?
So it's pretty quiet at work today, which I hate and to be honest I'm getting a little worried about. I really need to work, so these boys need to get a move on and get some work in...
Ok and also I've decided that over the past few years I've been neglecting my duties and responsibilities to 
. I've been an active member for years and when I was married, often donated to them as I believe that we need to save this fabulous planet of ours and now more than ever. If you haven't read it, then I suggest you get this month's "Green Vanity fair" as it's fascinating and downright scary at the same time. Basically now that I'm to be a mother, I have an invested interested in making sure my child, grand kids, and great grand kids have a world to live in when I'm long gone. So please everyone, check out the Green peace site, as it gives you tips on how to help just by doing things around your home or in your neighborhood.
Right well I'd better go, thanks to all of my friends for being so happy and supportive for both me and Stephen regarding the baby AND our new flat...you rock!!
