It didn't close...

Sorry I took so long to update, I kept hoping I would get good news to report. So the whole thing ended up being held up even longer because they found a small amount of black mold under a bathroom sink. We knew about it and tried to get the sellers to do something the whole time but they never did. So our lender required that we get a mold inspection done to make sure that it was not toxic. This took two days and thank goodness it is not toxic and everything is fine in that respect. In the meantime, the loan docs we signed last week have expired so now we have to sign new loan docs, so we are looking at monday or tuesday now, if some other disaster doesn't come up. I am mostly upset because I had a crew assembled to help move on Sunday, and now I'm hoping that we can get enough help the next week. The good news is that my Mom and I were able to go to the house this week and get it all clean and ready.
I was super bummed out about this whole ordeal but then I had a doctors appointment this afternoon and I got to have another ultrasound of the baby and just seeing it wiggle all around in there made me feel so much better. It's moments like this that you realize what is really important in life. So I praise God for keeping this baby healthy and I'm trying so hard to trust that this is all happening in the right time (His time!).
I'll update again as soon as we know anything. Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers!

Just close already!!!!!

So, the house was supposed to close on Friday, but of course it didn't. Because we are getting an FHA loan they have to make sure that all repairs were made to the house to be up to their standards. This is a good thing because they found a couple small things that were fixed today, but of course this is delaying it another day. They are saying that it will close tomorrow (where have a heard that before?) but I'm not believing it until it happens. The scary thing is that our loan expires on Wednesday and I'm not sure what would happen after that....I'm assuming that we could loose our rate which is bad since the rates are higher now. So PLEASE if you read this pray that it closes tomorrow. I have already decided that regardless of what happens I am going over there to work on it tomorrow because I technically already have a mortgage and utilities! I will update tomorrow!

Yet another house update

Well...........we signed the loan docs yesterday and it looks like we will be closing tomorrow!! If not tomorrow monday for sure but my agent is willing to give me the combination tomorrow so that we can start doing a few things. The only bad thing is Kev isn't really sure as to when his next day off will be, and I really need him to move since I am not supposed to be lifting anything. So we may not get moved in for awhile. But my mom and I can start cleaning and she offered to start painting so hopefully we can be productive in the meantime. Thanks to all of you who prayed for us during this arduous process. More updates to come!

I'm finally ready to annouce....

....That we are expecting!! I've been very weary of writing this post because I had a miscarriage about this time last year, but everything is looking good so far. I've had a couple little bumps already, but because of that I have been able to have two ultrasounds all ready and baby looks great! The last one was about 5 days ago (at 9 weeks) and the baby's heartbeat was strong and we could even see it moving around. I am still scared because of my loss, but I am trusting that this beautiful life is in God's hands, and He knows what is best for it. I will, of course, post updates as I get them. My next appointment is August 7th. Based on the ultrasound they are giving me a due date of Febuary 24th. I appreciate all who have already been praying for us and I would love that continued support. We are so excited!
