Pablo will (barring any glitches) become a US citizen next week and I think he is glad to become a citizen of a country that elected Obama by a wide margin and finally put an end to the horrible, horrible Bush years.

I am also glad to know that Matilda and our son will be growing up in a country lead by a president with intelligence and integrity. I feel 100 cliches at once. The sun is out, a new day, breaking dawn, blah blah..

To celebrate Obama’s win, send a card to Bush telling him to go home!

Check out pics of our car and our new house to be!

Here is a pic of our new home to be! We have an accepted offer and now we are waiting on an inspection, contract signing and mortgage closing. Yippee!

The timing couldn’t be better because we had to leave our apartment in Manhattan in a rush. We called 311 to complain about the conditions we were living in and they sent HPD to check out our home. HPD issued over 12 violations to the landlord that required emergency remediation. They have to fix all of our walls and our ceilings. We were informed by the landlord that we needed to get out as soon as possible. This weekend, with the help of some good friends and family, we rented a u-haul and moved most of our belongings to my parents house. We also setup our office in my parent’s rec-room. Its been quite a week!

PS In pregnancy news. I somehow gained 7 lbs in one month and I failed my 1 hour sugar test. I now have to be tested for the 3 hour sugar test in case I have developed gestational diabetes.

The search continues.

Good news. My placenta moved out of the way, so I am back to having an uncomplicated pregnancy. Woo.
