buying a house

well adam and i have been house hunting... we probably really LOOKED at 20 houses or so (as in actually going inside)... well we found our house - and we have a contract right now. this past saturday we had our home inspection and it went well. we are going to put in another offer tomorrow - based on some repairs that need to be made.

the original closing date was feb. 25th - but now it will definitely be after aiden is born. and now we also have to make sure that we close well enough before march 26th because thats when adam will be going to the police academy for 10 weeks.

lots of changes in the turner household - but they are all for the best!

33 week appt.

well friday we had another doctor appt - 33 weeks and 2 days!

everything looks great

he did confirm my suspicions that aiden had indeed flipped to a head down position. he also said that he was "locked and loaded" basically - he wasn't just floating around - he already has his head in position in my pelvic bone. i really hope that doesn't mean that he's gonna come early!! i really want him to wait until AT LEAST march 1st!

i did also talk to my doctor about the field trip at 37 weeks and he did say that as of right now i am still okay to go - so i guess he isn't worried about him coming early - yet!

oh - so when we went to listen to his heartbeat - he had hiccups - and it was really hard to listen to it - we could hear about 2 beats and then he would hiccup and then there was a skip in his heartbeat. the dr. said that hiccups do that. i thought it was pretty cool to hear the hiccups - i have been waiting for hiccups and i think i might have felt them before - i just didn't realize thats what it was. and then yesterday i was definitely feeling hiccups. so i was glad to hear them at the office - because now i know what they are and what they feel like.

okay thats all on the baby front for now...
next appt. in 2 weeks!!

ready to hibernate!

and not really because of the cold... this baby belly is totally getting in the way! i don't have much desire to get a shower and get dressed any more - it takes so much more energy to do those everyday activities. i only have about 7 weeks left so i'm sure it's going to get much worse.

sleeping is getting difficult - either i can't fall asleep or i wake up every hour to go to the bathroom

i think aiden has finally flipped to the head down position because i think i feel his feet up in my ribs! and i was feeling some pressure in my pelvic area earlier last week...

i've been slowly working on aiden's room - washing clothes and getting them put away. we already have a lot of clothing thanks to some of adam's coworkers. i put all his clothes that are bigger than 3 months inside a tub since we won't need those right away.

oh and we are also a little crazy - we've been house hunting! would like to try to be in a house by the time aiden is here - or at least by the end of march... so we've started planning on packing up parts of the house.

all i can say is - hopefully the nesting instinct kicks in soon and sticks around a little... i could really use the motivation!
