In Case You Were Wondering...

Nothing life altering or catastrophic has happened over the last two weeks. It's just that apparently, customer service, are not words recognized by some German companies. After our experience with TKS, trying to get our phone and Internet service transfered, I am convinced that Sprint customer service should be winning awards!

As you know by now, the building we were in is soon to be renovated, so we had to move.

Although I wasn't thrilled to be moving at 28 weeks pregnant, it went well enough. They packed us up one day and delivered our household goods the next. We had the house set up in just under a week! Not bad for a woman with sciatica and swollen ankles who spends most hours of the day satisfiying the demands of an almost 2 year old!

We actually were given field grade quarters, which was an improvement! We have more room here, especially in the kitchen and bathroom, and it's probably been renovated in the last two or three years, so everything is nicer and newer. The biggest plus...it's on the first floor!!!!! My days of carrying a 31 pound toddler up three flights of stairs and taking 10 minutes to catch my breath and get my heart rate down are over!

Getting phone and Internet service transfered however...not so easy! Not only did we have to pay 160 euro (about $200) just to have the service moved to our new address, less than a block away, we had to wait over a week for phone service and we technically still don't have Internet access, two weeks later! (Told ya' it made Sprint look good!)

Our wonderfully kind new neighboors offered to let us piggy back off of their Internet until ours is turned back on! I'm just so glad to be able blog and check email again, I feel like Christmas has already come!

Last Monday, after frantically putting our home together again, Buck had PRK surgery. It was a long week with pre and post op appointments and of course the surgery day itself. We had to be up before 5 AM four mornings last week to be at the hospital on time. We also had to drag B out of bed super early and take him with us for all of the appointments! Our babysitter and her son both came down with the flu the night before all of this began. I will just say that it's advisable NOT to bring your sleepy toddler, who seems to have ants in his pants, to a hospital and expect him to sit in a stroller for the better part of four days!

Thankfully, tomorrow morning is the last of the appointments. And, Buck's vision is already improving by leaps and bounds! For that reason, it was time well spent.

Lots of things have transpired over the last two weeks. I have lots of pictures and posts to follow...stay tuned!
