House Fire and Aftermath

I haven't posted in a few days, but things have been really crazy. On Thursday night, my house caught on fire. We found out on Friday that we would probably be out of the house for a minimum of 4 weeks (I'm due in 5 weeks). This weekend we just stayed at my mom's house while the insurance company got everything started and we figured out what type of hotel they would put us in. All of the stuff in our house has to be specially cleaned and all of the cloth toys/ stuffed animals have to be trashed since they can't be cleaned well. I've also had a cough that has become increasingly worse and I found out today was an upper respiratory infection and I need antibotics. Joy. I am so stressed out right now - I'm sick, I'm tired, and I can't even go home and curl up in my own bed. The insurance company did put us up in a nice hotel at least. It's pretty new, has 2 seperate rooms (so Riley can sleep before we want to sleep), a full hot breakfast, a drinks and appetizers time every evening, an indoor/outdoor pool, hot tub (I can't use it while preggo), and they allow dogs. It's definitely a lot better than I thought we'd be able to get them to pay for and I'm at least happy about that. My goals for starting writing and jewelry making were put on hold a little bit. I will definitely be working on the jewelry making while here, partially because there is a limited amount of things I can do here and I think it will distract me from thinking about our house. The writing will have to wait, all of my manuscripts have to be cleaned and sanatized since they were all boxed up in the attic (lots of smoke up there). I will write more later, but I am exhausted! Here's some pics of the damage:

  1. Oh, Ashley, I'm so sorry! I will definitely let you know when I'm sending your pictures so you can go get them - I'm almost 100% positive it'll be tomorrow, but I'll let you know for sure tomorrow evening.
