Obviously, there are more little things but those are the big ones. I am excited to finally be putting the house together. And I LOVE our new home.

The bad thing is that I am not very productive an account of my huge belly. And my legs and feet swell so easily, which is, you know, super attractive. Blech.

We have a safety seminar tonight where we will get our car seat installed and inspected. Awesome. =)

We had a DAY today. At 9 this morning we went in for the 4D ultrasound accompanied by my mother, MIL, SIL, and sister. It was awesome! I was told I had excellent fluid, so all that water guzzling has paid off. The baby looked, well, adorable, but I am totally biased. I will post pics and the video some time this weekend.

We rushed back from that to pick up our dog, transfer him to K's parent's house (which is closer to our new home) and then headed over to the closing. So yes, we CLOSED ON THE HOUSE today! AWESOME. Our 2nd official home. It actually took almost no time at all. I remember it taking longer when we closed on our first home. So we left that on a happy little high, although I was super hungry.

Then was a quick lunch, after which we grabbed the dog and went to our new home!!! We wanted to introduce Jack-Jack to this house to get him used to it. We did a walk through again decided which bedrooms would be what, how our current furniture would work, what furniture wouldn't, and so on. Then we returned to K's parent's house to book a move-in cleaning crew, vent cleaners, carpet cleaners, and sprinkler installers. THEN we went back to the house where K's parent's, sister, grandfather, and my parent's, sister, brother-in-law all met us to view the house. Phew.

Right now, my sister, her hubbie, and mine are all painter's taping and priming the bedrooms to paint. I am back at my parent's house (with Jack) relaxing.

This weekend, everything is getting painted. Monday the cleaning crew is coming. Wednesday the vent cleaners and carpet cleaners are coming. No idea when the sprinkler people are coming but soon. then with a very clean home we will start the move in process. The big move will be on Saturday. I am going to spend this week figuring out what else needs to be done... like getting rid of the awful flowered drawer and shelf lining.

Pictures soon!

Hey everyone! By now most of you know that we had a scare at the doctor's appointment on Thursday that resulted in an emergency ultrasound, a 36 hour hospital stay, and bitten nails. The fear was Preeclampsia but it turned out to be a severe bladder infection, still not good when you are pregnant but much preferable to preeclampsia. I didn't realize I had an infection because the symptoms I was having I was confusing with normal pregnancy ailments. Oops.

Well, the good from it all was the unexpected opportunity to see our little girl again! She has gotten BIG. She was moving her head a LOT and the ultrasound tech was in a hurry b/c of the situation, so we didn't get the best pictures but... here they are... look at her adorable chubby leg!



Adorable even in motion.

Love,
K and C
