Hello. What a weekend. Our rental house is up for short sale now, meaning they are trying to avoid foreclosure by selling it for less than what is owed. I put in an offer but they didn't like it. They put a lock box on our door and a sign in the front yard. The Listing Agent came over on Saturday, which was okay since she had given us the two day notice. She took pictures of our furniture and was very rude to me. I thought if I was super nice it would help but no such luck. Not 20 minutes after she left another agent and their client used the lockbox and started to come inside without knocking or anything!! Luckily Chris was right by the front door and stopped them. I had just gotten out of the shower and was half naked. I called the listing agent and yelled at her but she said she couldn't help what other agents do. I made a sign and we taped it to the front door stating the house is not vacant and you must have approval from the Tenants before entering. We also went to Lowes and bought a three dollar door chain so they can't come in without us being there. What a nightmare. I can't wait to leave. 

The new house is really nice. It's kind of small, 1500 sq feet but it's got three bedrooms and two bathrooms and it will be ours. The kitchen is the best part, big cherry cabinets and granite counters with all black appliances. I just want to be done with the whole deal so we can concentrate on the baby!!

I feel baby Nathan move all the time now, he's getting stronger by the day. I have an appointment tomorrow with my new Dr. I have all my records with me so it should be a smooth transition. I feel so much more comfortable with her. I have my "Hypnobabies" home study program that I need to start doing.

Hello. I've been feeling great physically but the stress of having to find and buy a house in this short time period is wearing on me. Chris and I must have looked at a dozen houses last weekend. We live next to a million new developments so we are looking for cheap spec homes. We found one we really liked, beautiful, affordable, upgraded, perfect. I got pre-approved but there are issues with the financing. I had one of the Escrow Officers here at work call the builder with me yesterday and she said she wouldn't buy it because they are so inflexible. We'll see, they are supposed to get back to me on April 10th with more information. The mean time I got in touch with an Agent to start searching again. I'm currently waiting to hear back from him as well as waiting to hear back from our Property Management Company about getting our deposit back and whatnot. She told me on Friday that the Owner has no intention of saving the property from the foreclosure. So, that's that. It's taken my mind off of the pregnancy which is actually nice since I've been obsessing since day one. I feel like the baby isn't the scary thing anymore. But I do have every bit of confidence that whatever happens it will be for the best for all of us.

After I found out I am having a boy I started feeling so much better mentally and physically. I'm so much more excited and happy about being pregnant. This feeling I still have but I found out on Friday that the house we JUST moved into is in foreclosure. Aggghhh. The date of the sale is scheduled for June 16th. Which would give us 30 days from them to be out. Which would be 4 weeks before my due date. I'm so disappointed especially since the owner obviously knew this was going to happen, we've only lived there for two months. It will be okay though, maybe we can buy a house now since the market is right to buy. Maybe we just weren't meant to live there. We don't like the area very much anyway. In other news, we finished Nathan's dresser last weekend. We painted it blue and white and put Winnie the Pooh knobs on it. It's super cute. We had to use white to match the crib so the dresser frame is white and the drawers and top are blue. We used non voc paint so it won't off gas any chemicals. It was so funny, the first color blue that caught Chris' eye was called "it's a boy". We thought it must be a sign and didn't consider any other shades. Thanks to my boss' daughter Niki, we have a ton of newborn and 0-3 month boys clothes. Chris and I had bought a few special outfits but Orange Cat peed on all of them when he got trapped in the babies room over night a few weeks ago. Aunt Kelly and I have been having fun buying all the childhood books for Nathan that we remember from our childhood. How I missed "Pat the Bunny" and "Harold and the purple crayon"!
