Well....

WE GOT AN OFFER!!! Woot woot!

So excited! Still trying not to get too excited since the other couple have their own house to sell. Keeping our fingers crossed…this is a step in the right direction!

I am already dreaming about being in the new home…awww Jacuzzi tub.

Longest Day In History!

So…I know today is going to take forever to get through. We are waiting for some news on a possible offer on our house…but trying not to get too excited in case it doesn’t come or it may even be too low for us to accept.

I am just dying to find out what they are going to offer. I am pretty certain an offer will be coming since their agent is our agent. She called last night (after their second viewing ) to say she was writing the offer right now and they were going to sign it tomorrow (which is now today)So chances are pretty good that an offer is actually going to present itself.

I am hoping this means that everything is starting to fall in to place. That the whole emotional rollercoaster of last week is going to be worth it to receive a better larger offer this week. (don’t even get me started on what happened but I will let you know it had to do with a slimy real estate agent who lied to our faces)

So…readers! (Matt) Fingers crossed for our offer!

Dream House

Ugliest Boots EVER!

So this weekend we went shopping for maternity clothes and Matt needed new winter boots.

While he was trying on his boots I spotted some ugly flower kid boots. I went over to them and picked them up. Laughed to myself about who would buy such ugly boots and walked away.

Then walked back. lol I could not stop picking them up. I loved them. I hated them! I hated that I loved them. They were on sale so I bought them.heheSo..the ugliest boots ever! (And I can't wait until Evelynn sees them, she is at her dads right now) I know she is going to love them!

The Ups and Downs

Holy cow! The Ups and Downs of trying to sell your house might just be as stressful as an actual move. One minute I am up thinking we are going to have an offer. The next minute I am down because it hasn’t happened straight away. Hear some more news about some potential offers and I am soaring again. I am starting to get seasick with all this up and down.

I knew the whole house selling process wouldn’t be easy but I don’t think I was prepared for how emotionally draining it would be. Each viewing that last 10 minutes takes it out of me. I wonder why they didn’t like my house. Each viewing that last an hour takes it out of me and I get my hopes up thinking they must have loved my house…only to slowly deflate like a forgotten balloon when no offer comes in.

I am sure that it will happen sooner rather than later but as my husband knows….I HAVE NO PATIENCE! I want to move now! I want to be settled and planning baby stuff not thinking about packing and painting and flooring.

So in conclusion…Someone BUY my HOUSE!!!hehehe

Stuff Happens and That is Called Life

So tonight the plan is to go to my friend Jen’s house and play some Wii. I do enjoy video games but the best part is she is making dinner! Yippie!

(only picture I had of Jen on this computer)

I did make an awesome dinner last night that still has me drooling. Meatloaf, mash potatoes, cauliflower and green beans. YUM! I never liked meat loaf as a kid and even still it is hit or miss with me. I either love it or hate it. Funny but I totally blame that on being a Gemini hehe

Also yesterday our real-estate agent came for a visit. Catch-up and update on our open house that we had this weekend. There was a lot of good feedback. A lot of the same response’s (kitchen needs updating, basement needs finishing) basically telling us the things we have said ourselves.

Still hoping for an offer soon. I want to be moved in and settled well before this baby comes. I am actually anxious to start buying baby stuff but am holding off until we move.

17 and Some

Already 17 weeks! Almost 18! That means I am very nearly half way through. Hard to believe. It felt like ages just getting through the first weeks. Counting the minutes until I was in my second trimester. I know the rest of the pregnancy is going to fly by…and that really scares me.

So this last week my belly has really popped! No longer do I have the chubby belly I have the hard round belly of a pregnant woman. It is actually neat as it seemed to happen overnight.
I have yet to feel the baby kick….I think. I have felt flutters but I can’t be certain it is the baby. I am pretty sure it is. It is nothing regular. I am having troubles walking already. Some massive hip/pelvic pain. I see the OB next week and I am hoping something can be done or recommended. I don’t know how I will get through the next 5 months like this. I am waddling already (due to this pain …or hip problem) My husband already called me hop-along. I threatened to hurt him badly if he did again. Hehe

Trust me you should not make fun of a pregnant woman. We are hormonal and not always in control of our actions. (see Matt I didn’t mean to break a bag of chips over your head…my hormones did though!)

17 weeks and some and I am still very excited! Still nervous as all. I worry that something has happened and I just don’t know it yet. I am trying my best to relax and think happy thoughts. Doesn’t always come easy to me but the key word is try.

Christmas Catch-up

Well…I kinda left my last post in not such a happy state.

Sorry for the super long vent there…obviously I needed to get that off my chest. I wish I could say that I feel better…but I don’t. Hard when you are in limbo and things are not going fairly and well. I want to live my life without all this negative crap. I have enough going on without having to deal with this mess. But…I guess we are not given more than we can handle.

So….since my last post we have had a holly jolly Christmas! It always goes by in such a blur. I feel at the end of it as though the wind is knocked out of me. It is planning planning planning…busy busy shopping wrapping cooking baking cooking presents treats visits DONE! Blur hehehe

We had a great Christmas though. Was able to spend lots of extra time with the kiddo. Was so magical having Christmas with a six year old. Honestly if I didn’t have her I don’t think it would be more than a few extra days off work and party. Once you become a parent that is when the real fun and joy of Christmas happens. Although I may not be saying that in 10 years when she asks for a new car.
New Years this year was a very quiet one. It was really enjoyable though. No expectations no disappointment. We stayed home and watched the Princess Bride (mine and Evelynns first time) and then played some video games. Matt and I watched the ball drop together all snuggled in bed.

I can hardly believe another year is done. I think next year I am going to ask Santa for a time freezer because it is just going by way too quick!
