Baby is getting bigger every day, and we're so excited to go through each week learning about what is growing and developing. Baby can hear now so I make sure to sit close to Nate as he plays the guitar at night. Life is simple in so many ways, and I'm loving it! The bump is "barely there", but it's coming along. =)
One of my greatest discoveries this month was a fabulous bagel/coffee shop. It seems so trivial, but I told my husband that it was so nice to not only find a place that actually sells BAGELS but to find a place that I can make my own. Familiarity is something that is so lacking when you move to another place, or another culture, and it's nice to find places that you can take some "ownership" of. If that makes any sense? lol. Anyway, it was a nice Saturday breakfast date spot for us.
This coming Friday, the 25th is the big day to go apply for my residence permit. We have absolutely no idea if they will grant me one. Every phone call we make gives us different answers. Every form we read has different information. The website doesn't match the forms, etc... But we have good hopes that we can/will meet the requirements and that I can get a permit for a year. If we don't I will be heading back to the US, most likely without Nate, and we will have to wait 90 days before we can try again. Obviously the idea of being on seperate continents is a little scary and not at all appealing, so we are praying for a permit, but trusting that all things will work out for the good our little family regardless.
