Well we made the big move to NYC and already we have had quite the experience. Needless to say it has not been what we expected yet. As we were in the airport heading toward NYC we learned that hurricane Irene was expected to hit right where we were moving to. Fortunately we were able to move in our stuff before it hit ( thanks to Blake's dad who came to help!) and luckily we were in an area that didn't have power outages or flooding. So I thought well this was good cuz now the worst was over, and it could only get better from here on out, but I was wrong.
During all of this chaos, Jaylee wasn't feeling well and had on and off fever which we thought was due to the stress of flying, change, and teething. However, as her top gums started to swell up and a nasty sore appeared below her lip we found out that she has primary herpes. There is no special medication we can give her to get rid of it, so we just have to wait for it to heal itself and they say that it can last up to two weeks. She has started to eat a little bit more everyday so we are hoping she is getting better and will get rid of it soon. It has been so hard and sad watching her go through this and knowing there was little that we can do for her.
On the up side, we love our new place which is actually located in Jersey City, right across the Hudson river from Manhattan. We are in tall apartment towers and live on the 26th floor so we have a cool view of Manhattan and the river. It is brand new so we are the first people to live in our apartment. The apartment complex has nice amenities including a pool, gym, movie theater, playground (which is perfect size for Jaylee) and a cool kids room that has toys, music and a tv. We are really close to a mall, grocery store, and the subway which is nice considering we don't have a car here. It only takes Blake about 20 minutes to get to school which is way nice. We only have a one bedroom apartment but it is almost twice as big as any of the one bedroom apartments that we saw in New York. I will post pictures of our new place once we unpack everything and put it together.
