So yesterday I got it into my head to sew some things for the baby. I enlisted the help of my sister Janae and we decided to try making a blanket. It actually came together fairly quickly, and I sewed it up in no time. The pattern, as you can see, is pink stars, and we decided to sew around some of the stars to keep the batting from sliding around. … [Read more...]

This is me at 18 weeks!P.S. We're still waiting to hear about the house, but it should be this week! … [Read more...]

It was freezing cold and VERY windy, but we still had fun! We went to Dennis the Menace park, which we used to go to all the time when we were kids. It … [Read more...]

Well, we got another email from our real estate lady today. A good one! She said that the first lender did their appraisal and was happy with the price. Now we are just waiting on the second lender. She also said that the listing agent thinks we will get final approval this week or next! This is good news for us as we had kind of given up hope a … [Read more...]

Our first (cat) child

So last night we went to get a bigger scratching post for Ally because she grew out of the old one we got her and she likes the couches better now. This scratching post is huge! Anyways, she jumped up on top, and it was pretty funny how much she wobbled around til she jumped off. hehe. That's it. Just a funny video of our cat child. :-D … [Read more...]

We got an email today again from our real estate agent. The townhouse appraisal was done finally, so now we are being held up in the (sellers) lenders review committee. They are saying 7-10 days for an answer....FINALLY. At least now there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Dim as it may be. Hopefully it will be good news for us, but either way, … [Read more...]

Yes, we are having a baby girl! I am due August 3rd, which makes me just over 16 weeks.

I was worried that we wouldn't be able to find out because the baby would be curled up, … [Read more...]

We heard from our real estate agent (broker?) today that the bank in charge of approving or denying our short sale townhouse is sending an appraiser this week. She said hopefully we will get an answer later this week or early next week. Thank goodness! The moment I told Rory that, I said "this week is going to be unbearable". He agreed. At least … [Read more...]

Jarom's back from his mission to England! Yay! He flew in late last night, (like, late. 10 at night!) We were waiting for all the people to come down the corridor, and he was almost last! It took forever for him to show up. People were saying, oh he's right behind us...but he wasn't! Oh well. So here we are standing with some balloons and a huge … [Read more...]
