We took the three big kids and they loved seeing their baby brother/sister on the big TV screen. Just for the record, all three big kids along with myself believe that this baby is a boy. Luke is BEYOND convinced that it is a girl. It's been the topic of daily debate in our house and I'm sure it will continue to be until he/she gets here.
Here's the only photo we got today. The doctor couldn't get a good profile picture because of the way the baby was laying. So, this was the best we got. The baby is laying face up, with his head on the left, booty on the right and her legs wrapped around the top of the picture by his face, with her knees right by his nose. Limber one, huh? You may have to click on the photo to enlarge it just a bit. That black area you see in her abdomen is the stomach. (Yes, I know I just interchanged his and her. I'd rather do that than say "it".)
In other news, we did receive an offer on our house and after some negotiating, we reached an agreed price. However, the offer is contingent upon the buyers selling their current home, which was just recently listed with our realtor. The offer expires on December 8th, which means if they do not have a contract on their home by that time, our contract is voided.
This is good for us, because we didn't want to be closing and moving around the time the baby will be born. Since it is taking 45-60 days for new mortgages to close, getting a contract after mid-December would put us closing and moving mid-February, early-March which would also be baby time. If the contract is voided as of December 8th, our house will be off of the market until after the baby comes.
Plus, even if they do sell their house, our house still has to appraise, they must secure a loan and our home must pass their standards for an inspection. So even still, we are not holding our breath.
That's about it. Hope y'all have a great Wednesday.
AAAHHH isn't that so AWESOME! I looked at the picture before I read anything so now I will go read!!! LOL sorry couldn't wait to meet Baby B.

ReplyDeleteDon't know if you're interested in this, but Allen's sister is selling her house and is VERY willing to negotiate. They have already moved out. They built the house themselves and have lived in it less than 2 years. They are selling it themselves...here's the link if you want to check it out:

GREAT blog. I totally need to come over here and visit and catch up on you and your gorgeous fam.
ReplyDeleteI wanted to thank you for the comment on my racism post. It really was eye opening for me. And I think you are SO right. I think we don't see it until it is OUR family that is the target. THANK YOU for sharing!
