It's a girl!!!!

The little bugger growing in my belly is a girl. All of her parts and pieces are growing and developing as they should be. We are both so happy!

So Grown Up!!

I feel like a true grown up this weekend. Steve and I put in an offer for a house! I am trying to be patient, but it is going to be hard. It is a short sale, so the negotiating could take 45-60 days. Being patient is something that I sometimes have trouble doing.

This is my first house buying experience, so it is very exciting and stressful. Steve has owned many properties in the past, so he is an expert. It should be a fun adventure. There is definitely some work and improvements that we are going to want to do over the next couple of years.

So much going on...

Well, just thought I would ramble on a bit about what is happening in our lives.

Marlee Ann or Moofer (as she is referred to by her Dad) is doing awesome. The amazing doctors at Emanuel took out a softball size tumor out of her. At this point they are thinking they got all the cancer. If her scans come back negative she won't even have to have chemo, which is an absolute blessing. Please keep her in your good thoughts. So far that is working miracles.

We spent a great weekend in Long Beach during Loyalty Days. I will try to post pictures this weekend. It was fun to go the parades that I went to as a child. I can't wait to take my own child.

We are going to be looking at 6 more houses tomorrow with our real estate agent. Hoping that one stands out and we can put in an offer. Keep your fingers crossed. I would really like to move before the baby is born.

And of course, the little bean is growing away in my belly. I am 18 1/2 weeks pregnant and my only real complaint is swollen ankles (cankles). I am lucky at this point that that is my only issue. Definitely counting my blessings.
The 'big' ultrasound is scheduled for May 20, so stay tuned to find out whether the little bean has an innie or an outie.
