landlord woes

It was a fast trip to St. Louis but a fun one. We left Sat at 11am and got home Sun at 4:30pm. The game was a lot of fun although the Cardinals lost 2-1. Our seats were great, right behind home plate on the second level. I wouldn't recommend staying at the Hyatt downtown. It's what used to be the Adam's Mark and used to be really nice. We didn't have a great experience. Next time I think we'll try the Druay Inn and Suites.
Work has been very busy the last couple of days. Yesterday was complete caous for the last few hours. As staffing shift changes at 3pm so did my whole group of patients. I ended up picking up four new patients and getting one from the ICU. It wasn't a bad day just hectic and I was tired.
Baby update: We go back to the Dr. on Friday starting our every two week visits. I've heard that this makes the last bit of pregnancy go by quickly. Last night while laying in bed waiting for Kayler to stop rolling around so I could sleep I got to thinking...I won't always be pregnant but I'll always be a mom from now on. I know that seems obvious but it's an overwhelming thought at times. It seems there is still so much to do before she's born and not much time to get it all done.
I'm looking forward to dropping back to part time at work in a month and a half. It will mean working one more day a week than what I'm doing now but working eight hour shifts instead. Then after my maternity leave I'll only work three eights a week which will be nice.
We had our first tenants move out of our loft this past weekend and are experiencing the first of many frustrations in the landlording business. They still don't have all their stuff out. We were in the apt last night and there is a ton of stuff up there including a piano and mattresses. One more thing to have to hassel with. Hopefully they will be getting it out by the end of the week as they're not paying rent for the month of Aug. We need to be getting it ready for the next renters, which we don't have lined up yet. That's a big prayer need for us right now is that we will be able to find renters for the lofts that are ready and that Justin will be able to get the others finished before the baby is born.
I have the next three days off from work so I hope to get a lot of stuff done around the house. Hopefully I'll have the energy to do it.
