What we've been up to...

Like many others who blog I have gone through a long slump and am not sure I even really want to update this anymore but for now I'll continue and maybe if I can catch myself blogging more often it will become more enjoyable again. Maybe....

So, since the last post we have lost a contract on our house we were selling due to something minor, moved into the new house anyways, gotten another offer on our house from people who had a realtor that apparently showed them houses they could not afford so we all walked away from that offer, have begun getting into a groove with me working and anything else we can pack in between ;-) Oh yeah and we are now THREE Months away from the new baby arriving ;-)

Our old house is still on the market and showing alot more now that it is vacant. We are hoping and praying that we can get a contract and get a closing that will happen the end of July or no later than the end of August. We would love to sell the house and take that money and save it up but also do a few decorating things around the new house we are holding off on for the moment just to be frugal about things.

Our new house is more than I could have ever hoped for. We have so much space for Cooper to play, for company to come and stay for a while or just for a quick visit. It is just more than I can put into words how much we love it here! We went from about 1700 sq ft to about 2600 sq. I hope to get some pictures up sooner rather than later but I am not the best at getting them downloaded and all that so it might be a bit. We are all settling in great! I thought with Cooper being so little and being a creature of routine that he might be put off a bit by a new and bigger bedroom but he has not even missed a step and seems to be in love with all his play space ;-)

Pregnancy #2 is moving along and as of yesterday I realize I will have this baby in 3 short months if all continues to go as planned. So far I have had ZERO serious issues which is nothing short of amazing to me since last time was like one scary problem after another. It has been so easy that daily stop to be sure I am feeling movement and assess how I am feeling to make sure I don't feel bad and just don't realize it. LOL...silly I know but it is truly amazing to me the difference between the two. This time around I actually had trouble gaining weight which worried me but the dr says it is fine still. I guess when you gain a whole other person the first time around you feel almost malnourished when you gain what you are supposed to ;-) Anyhow, I know that things can change in an instant so I am still on guard and probably will be till we get sweet Parker here safely.

Work is going great and I am enjoying still working part time. Two and half days makes life a little hectic and crazier than one day a week that I was working but it is harder to get consistent child care for one day a week too believe it or not because daycare is not an option for just one day. So, we'll continue to see how things go once baby #2 arrives and just take things as they come but I love working and am planning on doing what it takes to make this work with another one in the mix. On top of that I could not find a better part time job anywhere if I tried!! I love the ladies I work with, it's kid friendly since it is a children's science center and it is flexible if I need to swap days or be off one day. Really, could not find a better scenario if I tried.

I guess that is it for now with a brief update ;-) Hope this finds those that read it well!
