Closing!

WE ARE CLOSING THE 27TH! SO SO SO EXCITED!

Accepted!

So, our offer has been accepted! The only issue standing in our way right now is that it's very hard to prove your income when you're self-employed. Hopefully the loan/interest rate proves to be satisfactory when we find them out (later this afternoon) - because if they do, we just bought ourselves a house!

In other good news, there was an opening for a salary position at Millbrook school (Karl's former employer) that Karl has applied for. We're totally excited and anxious to find out if he gets it! Monday-Friday 7-5, STEADY good money, paid vacations, and benefits! Woo Hoo!

In other semi-scary/semi-exciting news, D-groups started this week. My co-leader and two girls (as of now) were very nice, and for a first week it wasn't TOO intimidating. I still have ants in my pants about it though. One week at a time...

What a time of change and anticipation these few weeks have been!

time flies...

So, I was just thinking, I am 6months and 1 week pregnant now. My 3rd trimester (already!) and my 1st baby shower is in less than 2 weeks. Man oh man! Speaking of baby, he is able to kick hard enough for you to actually see my belly bulge out - it's pretty amazing! Man, time flies!

Progress...

Man this has been a busy week! Karl and I have cleaned out, and painted the nursery, including painting a few pieces of furniture and putting up the crib. I've had many appointments with that of realtors, pre-natal nurses, and vets. Karl and I might be buying a house soon, and oh how exciting is that. Might being the operative word - being that we haven't quite decided yet. My parents are coming in this weekend, and I'm pretty excited about that! We're going to be looking at houses and going out to eat at "The Bob" - my mom's had some sort of fascination with the place ever since we looked in to it for our wedding last year. Any who, hope your weeks are going well!

Picture fun..

Karl and I had a little fun in the studio today...

Sneak Peak 3

So, we had our 3rd ultrasound this morning, and Ethan was quite the little butt. The whole time he was smashing his face in to my uterine lining! We only got one decent profile picture - but we have at least 2 or 3 more yet, so better luck next time. We also got a 3D/4D ultrasound! But again - he wouldn't move. So in his picture he looks like he's pushing his face into a piece of plastic wrap. OH well.. haha. He's measuring huge. Weighing 1lb 2oz, and measuring about 2 weeks ahead his gestational age. What a big boy! We got a video too... Ohhhh how fun!

This is Karl.
