Rainy day and procrasitating

Considering I was woke up this morning at 5am and it's raining outside I am not really feeling like doing much. I have done some laundry but that's about it. So I am doing a multitude of posts to make up for my lack of blogging lately and instead of packing. At least 5 am this Monday morning is several hours better than last Tuesday morning when he got up at 1:30am and NEVER went back to sleep, not crying just wanting to play and sing. We finally put him in his bed for a few hours and he fussed for an hour or so until our alarm went off. I took him to the Dr. and he had a bad ear infection.

Tomorrow is my ultrasound. I am undecided as to if we will find out the gender or not. Andy tried flipping a coin to see if we would find out or not. We didn't find out with Dane and it was fun, though toward the end I was getting really anxious to find out.

Wednesday is my 5 month appointment to see how much weight I have gained. I saw somewhere by 20 weeks most people have gained about 10 lbs. I am pretty sure I will be closer to 20lbs, it was probably that mother's day breakfast :o)

This may be the last post for a few weeks. Hopefully I will be able to put a few ultrasound pictures up of the baby as long as the scanner isn't packed and we still have internet.

To find out or not to find out that is the question.

We move in on Friday!

Here is a picture off of the realtor site. Home sweet home. We had an awesome decorator in at MOPS on friday and now I have a whole bunch of ideas for decorating. I wish money was endless and first things first we need to get moved in and unpacked.

Here is one sneak peak of the inside. I am standing by the front door so here is the front room and it can also be a dining room over where they have an office set up. I feel weird posting this picture of other people's stuff but I just thought a quick peak inside the front door would be fun.

We load the truck up Thursday night and head to our closings Friday morning. Hopefully it all flows smoothly and our times dont change and no one backs out. We wouldn't want to be hanging out for many hours with no place to set our stuff.

Not sure which part was my favorite.

Mothers Day was wonderful yesterday. Andy made me breakfast and lunch. Though breakfast was the highlight. I love a big breakfast. He made stuffed french toast with orange apricot syrup, fruit salad with all the fresh berries I had been craving, and egg casserole. It was so delicious the only down side was I ate so much I was sleepy throughout most of sunday school. Then we spent the end of the day the three of us reading books on our bed. Dane was in heaven with all the attention. So far the past two mothers days I have wanted and enjoyed being with the very reason I am a mother. Some people want a break, but I just wanted to spend extra time with my little guy. Maybe if he were crabby I would have wanted a break, like today :o) I almost forgot, not only did I get special treatment I got a gift certificate for a pregnancy massage!! Can't wait to put that to good use!

Did you see I am half way done, only 20 weeks to go? This little one sure is wiggly I have been feeling him or her squirm around for about a month now but the kicks are getting stronger!

We love spring time....

...except the part where the allergies kick in. I can't think of much to blog about, or maybe it is more of a problem of too much to blog about. So here are a few more pictures of what I would rather be doing than packing.

a few of my favorites

Dane kept trying to throw stuff in the water. The tricky part was the shore line kept moving. He loved it though!

What a cute little family! We had so much fun visiting them!

Playing in the sand with his cousin.

Sharing a flower with a pretty girl.

Checking in

We did find a houses a few weeks ago! We can check that off our to do list. I took some pictures of my favorite tree in the yard at it's prime. I will miss those beautiful blooms in the new house. We just got back from a trip to North Carolina. Dane loved spending time with his cousin Aletheia. We went to an animal farm and fed the animals, toured a battleship, went to the beach, and played at many different playgrounds. He had us all fooled at what a happy kid he was because today he is well lets just say not so happy. Driving me crazy by 8:30 is a bad start to a day. Now it is time to get serious and start some packing. I am in a quandry as to how to keep things clean and organized and pack at the same time. I don't think it's going to happen. Frustrating because the mess starts driving me crazy and makes it hard to think.

We are homeless

We listed our cute little old house that I love, not that long ago. A week later our realtor left for a missions trip in Kenya for 2 weeks and a few days later we had an offer on our house and it sold. We hadn't even started looking for houses yet. Completely official now that the inspection is complete as of yesterday. I am really bummed. I love this house I really can't even remember the reasons why we thought it was a good idea to sell it. Maybe because we only have 2 bedrooms on the main floor but 1 possibly 2 more rooms upstairs, and no backyard just a giant front yard along a busy High Schooler zooming street. All things that could be figured out. Now we can't seem to find any thing to suit us. Unless we get something much smaller or rent for a while. In a few short weeks we will be homeless. Unless we find something.

The first day we went looking with our substitute realtor (who is doing a great job) for houses one of the last ones we looked at we loved. We looked at it again the next day and compared it with the other one we sorta liked. We made an offer only to find out someone made an offer the day before we had even looked at it. Everyday there has been word that the offer may fall through because the buyer is really anal and wishy washy. I keep getting my hopes up. Maybe just maybe it will work out? Then we wouldn't be homeless after all.

I am glad my second trimester energy is returning only to spend it searching for houses thinking about all the stuff we are going to have to pack and all the endless organization that will have to take place.

I also started babysitting part-time a sweet little baby girl while her mom finishes out the school year teaching. Just a little idea of what it will be like with 2 kiddos.
