Just a quick update...

Well, I'll try to make it quick. We have put an offer in on a house and are scheduled to close on or before the 15th of October. We are very excited but still have not sold our home in UT. The sort of good news is we can sell it to my company at any time, but the bad news is if we take their offer we are upside down on the home because we have a home equity on top of our first mortgage, and like every one else, we don't have the equity anymore. We'll make it work if we take that option, but if we sell it on our own we should at least break even, and possibly even make a little. But we only have a couple weeks to try to sell it because we don't want two mortgages. So that is what we are up against! We have had about 10 showings in the last 3 weeks, so at least we are seeing activity, and we have dropped the price a little bit to try to get aggressive. So we will just wait and see what happens!!

In Abbie news, she is doing fabulous! She is almost 4 and a half months, and I finally got her medical records from her other doctor so I will be taking her Tuesday for her four month shots and well baby visit. She is getting so strong, rolling all over the place, and trying her very best to sit up on her own. She giggles a lot, especially when her cousin Joshua plays with her! We have also been taking her on walks in the stroller in the evenings, which she really likes. Oh, and she is, at least for now, actually liking her car seat!! OK, I'll stop babbling now and post some pictures. I'll try to update you all again soon or if anything happens with the house situation!

4 Months!

Abbie turned 4 months old on Saturday! She is doing great and adjusting well to life in NC. She is sleeping through the night now without eating BUT now she gets stuck on her belly and wakes up, like A LOT. She can roll all the way over but doesn't always have enough room in her pack and play, which is her temporary bed until we get a house. We are ready to get our own place of course, and have found a great house that we just put an offer on today, but it's contingent upon the sale of our house in UT. In the meantime, we are still living with my cousin and it's working out well. Abbie has also not only found her feet, but they have found her mouth. It's pretty cute. Here are a few pictures over the last two weeks...

To you, Abbie

To my dearest Abbie~
Tomorrow you will be 4 months old. It's hard to believe when it seems like yesterday I was going to bed each night feeling you kick and roll around. How I miss that feeling sometimes, but it's nothing like holding you in my arms each day. I am struggling right now with being away from you during the day. I think I got spoiled having a little bit more time off work. I cherish each second I spend with you, and live for the weekends and evenings so I can be with you and Dad. You two are my everything, and I thank God every night for you. You woke up last night gagging on something and all day today I have thought of what might have happened had we not been right there to pick you up and take care of you. I still don't know what it was, but it has made me a little paranoid, to say the least. I want you to know that as long as you allow us, we'll be here for you, and even when or if you don't, we'll be here for you. As you lay beside me sleeping peacefully I just think about my life before you, and it's like it wasn't complete. Everyone says we would feel this way, but I never believed them. Sure, I knew I'd love you to pieces, but not the kind of love where your heart aches when you are apart. So I'll stop rambling now because one of these days you will probably be embarrassed by this post, but I want you to know, our dear daughter, how much you are loved by your Mom and Dad and how you have rocked our world in the best way possible. We love you sweetheart. We love you.
