living up North!

















As many of you know, Jason and I decided to move to Illinois a few months ago. October 23, 2008 we packed up and took a road trip! It was so much fun. We started from Tampa and drove to Orlando to spend a few days with my family. We had lots of fun, eating tons of food including my favorite Pupusas! Then we made a stop in Tallahassee to spend time with our friends David and Stefani. We then stopped in Tennessee to visit Deedee and Jay. We stayed overnight at both places and had fun seeing old friends. After Tennessee it was off to our final destination- a small suburb outside Chicago. We have been here ever since. We are staying with Jason's parents for now. It has been fun being around family. We have experienced fall- the changing of the leaves. And now we are experiencing winter- a white blanket covering everything.
During this time Jason quit his marketing job and has been hired by Chase bank as a personal banker. The past couple of weeks he has been taking the train to downtown Chicago to study and prepare for his Series 6 brokers license. He is really enjoying learning about finances and savings.
As for me, I am now 38 weeks pregnant. Sofia is still cooking. As of last week, I was 1/2 cm dilated and 50% effaced. It's starting to become real. This baby is coming! In the next couple of weeks we will have a little girl in our arms! It's so exciting. I am now going to the doctor's every week. Sofia moves so much. The movements are so big now, my belly moves around and warps! We can't wait to see little Sofia's face!
