What's going on

  I'm actually now 29 weeks, but apparently my camera didn't work, so I will have to take more.  This baby sure knows how to find my ribs-ouch!!! Reese wasn't in my ribs like this, oh well I don't have too much longer. We have just put our car and house up for sale, so hopefully they sell as fast as what we would like.  A lot of people have been wondering why we are selling.  We are trying to simplify life a little by getting out of debt and we also want to build a house that we plan on staying in.  Now that kids are actually coming, we want something that we won't grow out of.  We have found a few lots that we really like, but we aren't getting too excited until our house sells.  The market is really bad,  there are so many houses for sale.  So if anyone knows of anyone looking for a house send them our way.

 I wish that we could go back in time and just know what is going to happen.  I don't think we would have bought the house if we knew that we would finally have children, but I guess we make choices so that we can learn from them.

  Reese has been singing a lot of songs lately.  She sings "up above the world so high" from Twinkle Twinkle.     She sang "round and round, all through the town" from Wheels on the Bus today.  She copies everything we say now, so we are always on our toes hoping we don't teach her anything bad.  

 I am so glad it feels like summer! I can't go for as long of walks as I would like since my bladder is constantly squished, but just being outside is amazing.  It's also pretty fun to take Reese to the park.  She loves everything now.  However after her little slide accident in Preston she is way more cautious, which is nice because she really doesn't have any fear at all.

 Sorry there isn't much to update, we are just trying to make everything fall into place with our house, car, finances, church so I have been pretty MIA lately or just busy.  I'm definitely feeling the last few weeks of freedom slip away, since I know I will be even more busy having a family addition soon.  Just trying to get what I can done.

Pregnancy memory

5/11/2012

I wrote this next post to remind me of the joys of pregnancy.....warning lots of complaining...
 
26 weeks is definitely getting uncomfortable! Sleeping is a challenge, heart burn, a toddler squishing me and baby, crazy hormone changes... Apparently the brain forgets these things even just 21 months after your last pregnancy! However, I feel like my hormones are way out of wack this time, everything else is also a little bit worse than last time, but I only have 14 weeks or so left and then it will be a bit more challenging in other ways.  I guess we go from one challenge to another.
 Things have been more than tight with finances lately.  We are honestly probably the most limited we have ever been- and hope to be! The doctor bills are what is crazy! Right now we pay close to $300 a month on doctor bills, and for July and August we will have to come up with another $370 for health insurance.  We have just started paying tithing as well. In the scriptures it says to prove that God won't bless us if we pay our tithing-I do feel comfort in that , even though it is hard to let go and have faith.  We have had blessings already.  Jake has had 2 full weeks of work, a guy that Jake helped on the side of the road brought us food, some of our bills have been lowered.  We have shut off our tv and gotten an antenna, but found that we actually get more than what we were paying for! We will soon be cancelling internet as well.  I guess we still need to sacrifice to prove ourselves as well.  I keep wishfully thinking that Reese will all of a sudden get potty trained as part of our blessings.  I know it's a long shot, but I did say wishful thinking.
 We are going to hopefully be putting our house up for sale.  We want to build, and get some things paid off so that we aren't so tight.  So for now I would have to say that we are living on faith and continue to try to live worthy of all of our blessings we are so grateful for.
