new baby

guess what! well, you could guess from the title. we are going to have another baby! i was going to wait until i saw a doctor to tell everyone, but my dad was spreading the word last night when he picked up Heidi from YW. the baby will be due around September.

well, we still have not gotten the papers signed on the counter offer from the seller, which means we can't have an inspection. they are the ones who wrote the counteroffer so i don't know why it is taking them so long!!
but we got some possibly bad news yesterday about the HUGS program helping us with our down payment. so we will see if it works out, or we don't know what will happen. if not, we have to come up with the entire down payment and will have no left over savings for the stove and appliances that we SO badly need(i know... we should have waited to get a house and just saved, but we need a place of our own so bad). which means we might not buy this house and lose it! uggh. but we are praying that things will work out. whatever that means. and praying for more patience.

school is back in session for me and we are sharing a car. which means i get up, drive trevor to work by 7, get back home, usually take a brief 5-10 minute sleep and shower before craig wakes up. there are some things that i will miss. for instance, just asking my mom to listen for craig while he is sleeping and we run and do an errand, or drop trevor at work.

trevor doesn't start school until next week, i think. then, he will have to meet with his group to get his project all finished by the end of the semester.

Congratulations!! How exciting for you guys! I'll keep you all in my prayers that everything works out with the house. I know what a pain the whole one car thing can be. No fun!

YAYA!! Congrats!! I actually heard from your dad yesterday too (he stopped by the office) im soo excited for you!! And hope everything works out with the house. We were looking FOREVER and it wasnt working so were on a break because we figure it wasnt the time for us I guess. Well start looking again around when the baby comes but I DONT look forward to all the work. But DO badly want a house!! Well good luck and hop Hugs goes through.

Congratulations!!!! Hurray!! That is so exciting!!
Is it too late to try and write in appliances included into your offer?? Good luck with everything! (If it doesnt work out it just means that there is a better house out there for a better price that will be better for your family!! Hang in there!)
Congrats again! I hope you are feeling well! (BTW, my birthday is in September and I think it is the best month to have a birthday in!!) ;-)

Congratulations Marilene!!! Baby #2!!! My how time flies. I'm sure everything will work out with the house- sounds like it's definitely a test of patience though (most things that are worth it usually are:) You guys are great and I hope you have a wonderful weekend!
