Update

Life has been a pretty busy these last 2 weeks.  This will be a quick update.  After a week of looking at houses (close to 35), we offered on the house Old Man saw FIRST!  :-)  We are currently under contract for an awesome house.  It's huge, newer, perfect for our family.  Truly an example of God meeting more than our needs.  The house in Maryland still hasn't sold or rented.  We're dropping the price today again.  Plus we're going to have some painting done to "update" rooms that aren't neutral.  Fun fun fun.  Anyone know a good painting contractor in Bowie, Maryland?  One that can do the work in the next few days?  :-)  If I weren't pregnant, I'd fly out, paint the rooms, clean some carpet, pull some weeds and be done with it.  That would be tons cheaper than paying someone else to do this!

Speaking of pregnancy - 34 weeks tomorrow.  Feeling huge, uncomfortable and exhausted.  But, still not really ready to have a baby.  I mean, seriously, we don't even have a name picked out, I can't even think about the fact that in a few weeks I will have to go through labor and then have a newborn.  Wow.  At least then my body will shrink a bit and doing normal daily tasks will be physically easier!  :-)  We met the midwife yesterday - she's wonderful and I'm very pleased with her.  Which is a good thing, because Tricare has only ONE midwife in this town that they cover!  

Kids are doing pretty well.  We started swimming lessons on Monday.  Monday was fun - screaming and crying from Joseph and puking at the Loaf and Jug by Dawn (drank too much pool water and worked out too hard).  Ahhh, the joys of parenting!  :-)

Hi Tonya,
I just checked your blog and found the new post, of course Leslie had told me most of this info already, but I m happy to hear that things are starting to fall into place, We have been praying every night for your family. Hang in there.

S told me about your No good, Horrible, Very Bad Day.

I'm so sorry, nothing like screaming and vomiting kids to make you want to run for the hills!

But what the screamer (can't remember what you call him on the blog) said on the way home was priceless! :o)

Glad you found a house, I'll pray the other one sells!

Tonya, I'm so glad to hear that you have found a great house. Isn't it so like God to not only meet our needs but exceed them we are obedient to his plan? Hope that you are feeling well these last weeks of being preggers, I know it's not easy trying to keep up with 4 others while being "well-rounded". Take care of yourself.
