Still here...Still Kicking

Here we are...one day away from October!! I'm super excited because I LOVE Fall! I mean love, love, love; but here in Mississippi, we don't get too many Fall days. One of my favorite things to do is decorate for the season. I have cute pumpkins and little metal bats that I put in the yard. However, this year in the mist of packing to move (which didn't happen) and storing things in our storage unit...the decorations are spread all over Prentiss and Lee counties. So here we are again wishing we were moved, kinda moved, but still not selling our house.

As you may remember, we took our house off the "official" market. We are now selling it by owner. I want to sell our house so we can move, but I dread leaving this cute home. We have done so much work and really made it our own so I hate to see that go. Blood, sweat, and yes...tears have been shed at this home. But please---someone buy this sucker!!!! I'd like to find another home before the baby gets here!!! I'd love to be able to see the house, close at the end of October and be in a new home by Thanksgiving. But that is really pushing it. So I just pray that our house sells before Christmas and we can find another home before January 24th (or whatever day she decides to make her appearance)!

And speaking of baby...she's definitely in there! I'm feeling her kick all the time and it is so funny (albeit a little strange). I had my 22 week check up last Tuesday and everything is going good. Her little heartbeat was at 146 and she was moving away. We didn't have an ultrasound, but by using the doppler, you could hear her rolling! I think we have decided on a name..but I may leave you in some suspense until we tell all our family first. Let's just say it's a great mixture of both of our families names. We couldn't be happier and we're excited to have some things monogrammed! Of course I'm worried that I will take one look at her and say...that's not her name!!! What would we do!!?? Ok, ok, I'm sure that won't happen...but have you met me!? Alas we have decided and that's one thing to check off my list!
