Our house - 1 week before Sydney's arrival! I won't go into all the details, but what I can tell you is that I have one amazing husband.  He did an incredible job of moving us (packing and unpacking all our stuff), getting us settled (furnishing an entire house, down to the mattresses - and building a lot of that furniture), and doing all the things around that house that come with new home ownership.  Oh, and let's not forget about taking care of his...
