Our house is officially sold! The contract is signed, everyone agrees - woo-hoo! They want to close June 26, so we are aiming to have the movers come in mid-June (in less than two weeks, really). We are making an offer on a home today in Knoxville, so I'll keep you posted.
It's been a rough week. I think the being without Daddy thing is starting to get to all of us. Ansley has been waking up in the middle of the night, yelling for him. She woke up this morning at 6 am (NOT typical) and said she wanted to come to my bed because "she missed Daddy." It breaks my heart (and keeps me very tired) so I am really glad that it will be coming to an end soon. I know we have all really missed not having Daddy around, so it will be great to be together again!
In the meantime, we are letting the house go. Dishes piling up. The yard is overgrown. Trash stacked outside the door. Only kidding! But it is nice to not have to be *quite* so particular about keeping the house in order. We actually played with some long forgotten toys this morning - they were all over the carpet, and Ansley loved it! We've also been playing outside, although it is very hot. Ansley is enjoying our neighborhood pool, and she really loves drawing with her chalk.
I'm feeling very tired, and pretty nauseous all the time now. I'm getting picky about what I want to eat - only certain things sound good! I think I'm starting to show a lot sooner than I did with Ansley. Did anyone else experience that? But it's ok - I'm savoring and enjoying this, my last (at least to my knowledge) pregnancy. I do enjoy being pregnant (or at least I did with Ansley). :)
