I had a great visit to SC where I saw friends, lots of family, went to a wedding, and had a chance to unwind.
Now that I'm back, it's been a huge amount of catching up. We spent weeks looking at houses online, did a whirlwind tour of homes, and are under contract for our next house. Tomorrow morning, we will go to the house for inspection. This should complete addendums to lift the contingency on the inspection portion of the contract. Our Louisiana house closes in 9 days. We have paperwork to complete our power of attorney to the title company to complete. Next week, I'm sure I'll have to wire a painful amount of money to pay the deficit and close on the sale.
Otherwise, time in the pregnancy seems to stand still. Now that we've finished the home search, we have a few weeks to wait to close and move. In the meantime, we wait for Bebe to grow, we wait for sale of one house, we wait for the purchase of another. In June, my best friend Tara and her partner will be visiting us for a long weekend. I welcome the distraction, and the chance to see my buddy. Around this time, we'll also move into our new house. Until then, we do everything possible to make time go by. We are watching hours of TV on DVD (Heroes Season 3 at the moment, Lost Season 5 next, and perhaps Deadwood again, then maybe Friday Night Lights Season 4), running unnecessary errands, and keeping busy. I look forward to having a new house to occupy our time and thoughts... anything to speed up the clock. I couldn't imagine if it took 18 months to fully gestate a Bebe (Jessie could imagine that less).
