Well we are moved :) Thanks to my hard working parents and a bunch of Sayle's friends, we managed to do it in like 5 hours or so. The house is going to be the right house to bring a new baby to, it's cozy, and is carpeted ( which we are used to hardwood ) and Dan and I like it!
So I have had my 4th horrific gallstone attack in 2 months and I'm just done with it. They are no words to describe really how horrible they are, and I've been to the ER for them. I had one the other night that lasted an hour and a half and the Dr's finally just gave me heavy morphine and some other narcotics. I ended up being there for 6 hours, with my wonderful husband by my side.
We are meeting with a surgeon this week to talk to her about surgery hopefully this month. It's risky with baby, but it will be laproscopically so it's less invasive....but I'm still very nervous. I cant go another 3 months with my gallbladder in though. It's just too miserable, and frankly, I'm afraid to eat. I eat cereal at least twice a day and very bland foods.
So anyways, I'll be posting pics of the nursery stuff soon...

Busy week ahead
Well we are moving this week! I have been packing like a mad woman. Dan has been working lots, but has the weekend off thank goodness. I really do like having lots to do each day though, oddly enough. It's soo nice because we dont have to clean at all when we leave the house we are in, since it's going to be flat in the next month or so :)
So we are calling this next house our "transition" house because our goal is to be there temporarily ( atleast 6 months though ) until we buy and the market clears up a bit. Nonetheless, it'll still be great to be out of the dust cloud of Fife and into something completely different. I tell you, everything is dirty here because of all the construction, and being in the middle of 2 large pumpkin/dirt fields! I cant count the number of bloody noses I have had.
Anyways, I am praying that our backs hold up for us. Dan and I both are in therapy once, sometimes twice a week for pain.
In the middle of all this chaos of moving, we lost our only Jetta key. It's here, somewhere, and we have looked everywhere. It may be locked in the car, but we cant see it. We had another key made ( pricey! ) but it doesnt fit the lock, so the previous owner must have changed the locks. Therefore, we must get the car towed to the dealer, and have them replace ALL the locks. I am so upset because we never just misplace things, and this is going to cost a fortune. I'm not thrilled at all. But lesson learned....always have atleast 2 keys for your cars....

Private Blog
SO I still dont know who reads this blog, and I feel these days as if it's becoming a waste of time. So I'm thinking about moving it to a private setting. One, for the safety of baby when she comes, because there's alot of creepy people, and horror stories I've heard of blogs being so public...two, I'll be able to actually know who's reading it! So probably in December or so I'll take it off public. Just FYI.

REGISTRY
Some of you have asked if we have registered and the answer is YES!
We are at Babies R Us and Thethingsiwant.com ( for clothes and misc stuff )
The things we registered for at Babies R Us are things we absolutely need! So I'm really hoping that people respect the fact that we registered, even after lots of people dont bother anymore ( ppl tend not to follow registeries ). There are links on the right side of the page to both of them. Thanks :)

PRAISE THE LORD
My mom is constantly reminding me how God's timing is perfect. She is always giving me examples of how he's worked in our lives.
We leave for home tomorrow morning, after a very long, exhausting trip to Minnesota. God's gift to me today was a phone call from Dave saying that the state approved the appraisal and we do indeed get to move! Dan and I are sitting here in awe of HIS timing. All this time it's been a huge rock on our shoulders and we hate going home to our half packed, half falling apart house. I told Dave that the week before we left for this trip, that the house all of a sudden decided to fall apart, like it just knew it'd be demolished, as sad as that is. I had 3 lightbulbs burn out in one day, our sinks/pipes are gurgling, therefore not draining properly, the sugar ants have been one big pain in the butt this summer, and our hot water stopped working. And Dan and I just had to laugh at it.
Well, what a perfect way to end a trip like this one. Now I get to come home and pack, and you know what? I'm excited to pack! Dave does have a house lined up for us to move into, and we'll take a peak at it this week ( the lady that lives there just so happens to be giving her month's notice, again, a great example of His timing )
On another note of praise, I have my ankles back :) and my feet aren't swollen anymore.
And I'll get better at blogging, as requested. I have pics to post too. Oh, and i'm 23 weeks today :)
