In that order.
I think we're going to try to move into the house this weekend! The last steps are cleaning and getting all the baseboards caulked. When Anna wakes up from her nap, I'm going to take the kids and get started on the cleaning part. I'm itching to get in there and clean up all the paint brushes, paint cans and supplies and take up all the drop clothes and vacuum. Plus it's a beautiful day for Caleb to play in the backyard over there. (I love that we have a big yard for him now!!)
I had my 12 week screening U/s last week and everything came back perfect. Baby is looking great. What a blessing. I had my monthly doctor's appointment yesterday. I decided to have Chris, Caleb, and Anna come with me. My doctor hasn't seen Anna since I had her so she really enjoyed seeing her. And, like he did when I was pregnant with Anna, Caleb got to help squirt the jelly on my stomach so we could hear the baby's heartbeat. It took a little while to find the baby. That was a little nerve-wracking. The doctor kept reassuring me that I was measuring right on and the baby was just a little higher than she thought. Still, the whole couple of minutes she couldn't hear anything but my heartbeat and was moving the doppler all around, I kept thinking "What if something is wrong? What will Caleb remember about this? How will this affect him if something is wrong?" Way to put my trust in God, I know. :oz Baby was found and heartbeat was good. Lesson learned that I need to calm myself down.
Caleb has his first loose tooth. It's about time. He got his first two teeth at 5 months old so I was sure they would fall out early too. Well, earlier than this. I was looking at his loose tooth this morning and realized that his adult tooth is already halfway in behind it. That's not supposed to happen right? I don't remember it happening with my sisters or me. I plan on calling the dentist this afternoon just to see what they say. Do any of you know if that is normal?
Alright I'm off to enjoy this beautiful day and get some things accomplished. Have a good Thursday!

Sooo Close...
We are so close to moving into the house I can taste it. The contractor finished putting in the windows and slider and patching up the A/C hole this past weekend. It's SO nice to not have filthy, half-functioning, non-energy efficient windows. Now we have beautiful vinyl white windows. I'm sure this is only thrilling to Chris and me. :) The flooring is in too. Chris is now working on getting the baseboards put down throughout the house. Pretty much all that's left is some touch up painting and a major clean. (Obviously that's not all that's left for the house to be considered done by anyone's standards, but it will definitely be more than liveable. The rest of the projects can be done after the kids go to bed and on weekends.)
And...I "get" to call the home warranty company today. Something in the garage is smelling like gas. It's either the 25 year old water heater or the 35 year old furnace. It's a toss up. Maybe they'll come out, look at them, and replace them both. Ha, right. The gas company came out before we bought the house and recommended either replacing both or servicing them. You can guess which option the sellers chose. So, we start the calls to the home warranty company and up go the carbon monoxide detectors.
On to other topics. . .Chris gave me my Valentine's Day gift early. (Yah, yah, I know...commercialism at its finest. But because I recieve gifts, I don't complain. ;)) He gave me a bluetooth headset for talking on my cell phone in the car. And it's pink. I love it. Now I don't have to worry about getting pulled over for taking a call.
My 12 week screening ultrasound is tomorrow. I'm excited to see the baby again. I didn't do this screening with Caleb or Anna. I know it's not a necessity because whether or not he/she perfectly healthy won't matter to us. The screening will either offer peace of mind or will prepare us for ... whatever. Either way, I feel blessed to live in a time where this option is open to us through modern technology. Speaking of my pregnancy, it's still going pretty smoothly. I'm still not in maternity pants which seems really weird to me. But it's a good thing. I haven't the slightest idea where I could find the Rubbermaid container with my maternity clothes in it. I told Chris that it's only a matter of time before I pop out and can't fit into anything so we best get to moving into that house fast.
This is long enough I think. Next post will hopefully have pictures of the house in them. It looks really great, I'm so pleased. It used to be that when I would walk into the house the overwhelming feeling of everything that needed to be done would weigh on me and I'd feel like it would never happen. But now I walk in and can see how close we are. That's a much better feeling. Okay, blah blah blah...bye!
