So far...

Hey everyone! 
Captain Midnight here...
For anyone that has known me through this pregnancy knows that I have NOT been able to sleep from the beginning. 
All of you crazy people that enjoy pregnancy are not human. I'm convinced.
So since I'm up anyways (1:40am bright eyed and bushy tailed! New record! #notarecordIwanttokeep #sotired) - I thought I would update this little blog since we have been really bad about it since we got here 
(and I already laid in bed for an hour trying to go back to sleep, took a shower, folded laundry and cleaned up the kitchen...guys I'm super productive between 2-5am/I will probably slash the next person that says this is just preparing me for baby...not.helpful.or.encouraging)!

So sorry about the lack of posts guys! Here's what's going on!

A few highlights:

We have gotten pretty settled in our apartment and we really enjoy the neighborhood (and I am 7 minutes door to door from the hospital which.is.fabulous)

We found a way to pay a second mortgage  day care for baby that had an open infant spot! Praise the Lord!

 I started my new job 2 weeks ago and am loving it!
The unit is fabulous, everyone has been so kind and welcoming, their existing team is very strong and I really feel like I'm already finding a good rhythm. So grateful. 

And they have food trucks every Wednesday... manna from heaven/gonna get dangerous real fast!

We are experiencing the fun/craziness that is springtime in the Rockies to include our first snow day!
I We probably had too much fun/got a little too excited for our first day of snow! We were so impressed by how the city kept everything super clear and how easy it was for us to get around! We had no troubles at all! Definitely encouraging for these two little transplants in our two wheel drive vehicles! 

That being said - man are we glad that Texas definitely prepared us for wild weather swings! 
We have had everything from snow to rain to bright 75 degree sunny dry days! Definitely keeps us on our toes! 
That being said, big thoughts and prayers go out to our Houston friends and family dealing with the crazy rain and flooding these last two weeks! We are keeping you close to our hearts! 
Stay safe and dry friends!

Alex continues on the job hunt! Thanks for all who have extended thoughts, prayers, support and connections here in Denver! Keep 'em coming! 
In the meantime he is definitely enjoying Denver! 
He has found some great cycling buddies/groups already and gone on some very cool rides (Denver is by far the most bike friendly greatest place to ride we have encountered yet!)...


... he has gotten to explore Denver and taken the 4Runner on some two wheel drive adventures...

and even picked up a day of snowboarding at Arapahoe Basin! 


I in the meantime have also tried my hand at high altitude baking...
(supposed to be banana bread muffins...morphed into weird collapsed overly chewy blobs)
ummmm...yaa.... I'll keep working on that. If you have any high altitude baking tips please send 'em this way!

Other than that guys we are definitely getting settled in our new digs! We have been so grateful for our friends and family here that have been so gracious in inviting us to dinner, checking in on us locally and helping us navigate this new city of ours and for all the awesome friends and family that have been sending on so much love and support from afar!

Thanks for joining us on this adventure! 
We'll update again soon!

All my late-night love,
Hannah
