16 weeks! They lied, it's not pregnancy "glow" ... It's acne. Silly, silly, people. Baby already hates car rides and kicks me incessantly during the entirety of every trip. I've been craving pop tarts, pie, fresh berries, beer... I'm thinking boy for this one, or at least a tomboy. Every day after lunch I am overwhelmed with a desire to sleep. I usually give the girls special toys to play with and pass out on the couch for 15 minutes. I sleep like a log at night, which is great, but I am constantly tired regardless. I gave in to the next size up in maternity pants and it's amazing how a few extra inches of cloth feels so great on the belly and hips!
In house news, we have 5 offers and accepted one, but it seems like the whole process is dragging and little details cause big delays. We have an inspection this afternoon, so here's hoping all goes well!
House hunting is crazy. It seems that the ones we like we can't get our foot in the door, and because of family matters or work, we have to cancel important showings; so we are really getting nowhere. There is one house we like best thus far, but again, it's waiting for people to get back to us on the simplest details. We know God is in charge, but it's plain stressful. We were supposed to spend yesterday morning touring houses, but urgent business matters came up for Peter, and the girls were both in horrible moods from lack of naps from showings the day before. There was no way I was taking the girls out by myself to keep them calm and from breaking things in other peoples houses. So. Not. Happening. So I canceled everything and we spend most of the day outdoors, napping, and catching up with friends. It was wonderfully refreshing! We switched our showings to tonight and a good friend is babysitting. Ah, that's more like it! Please offer a little prayer for our sanity and wisdom.
Well, time to catch up on some chores!
