So, Monday night after the Hubs called his Uncle to clarify something & his Uncle flipped out on us, we decided to back out of the deal. We don't need things to keep changing and really do not want to do business with someone who reacts the way he did. Especially Tuesday, very nasty messages on our machine and the in-laws, plus stopping at the family members houses and just going off screaming and hollering. Really it was NUTS!!!
I was more than happy to call our crappy realtor and tell her we were taking our house off the market. Felt so good to pull that For Sale sign out of our yard! I really do love our home, we were just moving as it was a great opportunity with a bigger house for a great price.
So, needless to say, I dug right into unpacking our stuff, I can say finally that the 1st floor is completely cleaned, unpacked, re-organized, and decorated. And it feels GOOD not to be living with boxes all over my house. Although it's definitely taken me 3 x's as long as I need to take several breaks throughout, especially when moving the extra boxes to the basement or 2nd floor. But I can say it's all done as of about 2 hours ago.
Next weeks agenda entails tackling the 2nd floor. Switching little one's baby furniture for her big girl furniture, emptying out the spare room for the baby's furniture, and packing away spring/summer clothes for the Hubs and me, as we've been using the spare room as our extra clothing space.
Later next week I'll be having a review & giveaway so make sure to check back. And will also be posting some pictures of the fall decor we have going on here. I enjoy decorating for fall almost as much as for Christmas!
And I'm so glad to announce that my Gramma had her last cancer treatment this past Friday. It's been a very long & tough 4 months of treatments, but she's been amazing through it all. She will not be going for the tests to see how the treatments helped her until after the holidays as she wants to enjoy them. So, we still have a long 3 months ahead of waiting for that tidbit, but I'm so glad she is done with treatments.
Now to end with a pregnacy update and little survey thing I've been seeing pop-up on a couple other mom's who are expecting blogs.
Friday I had my 6 month check-up. Which I must say went remarkably better than last months. Actually down 2 lbs, woo-hoo! They dropped my glucose testings from 4 times a day, to only 2 times a day, and will not have to be put on insulin since my #'s are great. Avalynn's HB was about 150, although it took the Dr a few times to get it, as she is very active and wouldn't stay still long enough for him to cont. He didn't have to tell me she's active, I definitely feel her all the time. And I'm measuring approx. 2 weeks ahead, but I measured bigger with E's pregnancy too, so I guess it just means am meant to have bigger babies.
How far along: 1 day away from being 24 weeks - woohoo!
Total weight gain/loss: 3 lbs
Maternity clothes?:Yes please! I only have a few pieces, as the Hubs just went back to work a month ago, they are/were not in the budget. Once he starts OT the end of this month, I'll def. be picking up a few more, a girl can only live off of 2 pairs of pants for so long, can we say laundry every day!
Strech marks?: No new ones.
Sleep: This week, I'm just exhausted and sleep straight through the night without ever moving. I will say though that I've found I need pillows all around, sleep with one behind my back, inbetween my legs, and my regular pillow, plus even though we're in the 50's poor Hubby has to suffer through me wanting the fan on, b/c I'm so warm.
Best moment this week: Hearing her HB at the Dr's appt.
Movement: Yes, several times throughout the day and she must think my bladder is a soccer ball or something, b/c she loves kicking on it constantly.
Food cravings: Thanksgiving dinner - the next month can't come fast enough! Otherwise, homemade mac 'n' cheese and hush puppies.
Gender: 110% GIRL
What I miss: sleeping on my stomach completely
Milestones: Hmmm...can't really think of anything right now.

Sounds like everything is going great with the pregnancy!! Yay for only having to test twice a day!
Sorry about the uncle drama, but it's nice to know that you really like your old house and didn't have to move... enjoy your new old house!!
