Awaiting a baby...

Last blog post before we welcome a new baby boy into our family.  We have been eagerly awaiting the arrival of this baby for weeks now.  Everyone thought I'd go early, and now I sit here 4 days late.  My gut feeling tells me it's tomorrow. Too many weird feelings going on in there for days now.  Rose was 6 days late, and since this is a third baby I'll assume he can come at least a day earlier than that.  Paige was induced, so not sure when she would have come.

Unfortunately Maura's asthma got very bad and she is in the hospital.  Maybe for a few days.  Seems like everything is happening at once.  I feel so bad and wish this baby could stay in until she was better, but at the same time, he needs to come out.  The childcare plans have changed a bit and Amanda will now come and stay with the girls.  Scout left this afternoon for boarding just so she was taken care of. Hopefully everything is smooth and easy when the time comes.  Oh--went to my scheduled doctor appointment this afternoon and the office was closed...sooo now I just don't have one at all. odd.

Hoping for an easy labour....

Sold!

Who says you can't sell your house with 2 kids and a dog while 9 months pregnant?

So glad we made the decision to list before the baby was born! The whole crazy scheme actually worked.  Now we can just relax (sort of) for a while before we have to move.  Bittersweet.  It feels sad to see it sold.  As much as the new house will be amazing, we're sad to leave this one behind.

Selling the house wasn't that painful.  Of course we had to constantly clean the house and leave, but really we got to go out for some fun family meals, forget about cooking, and the girls and I did some great activities while we got out...pottery painting, parks, treats... It was a good excuse to get out and do stuff rather than sit around thinking I was going into labour all the time. We sent Scout to boarding for the busiest time, and then brought her back and just dealt with the fur for the remainder.  She spent a day with Uncle Mark and Tyler when there was an open house and a lot of showings.

So our possession date is June 24, and the lady who bought our house takes possession of this one on July 3.  So we have a decent amount of time to get out of here without having too much time with 2 houses.  We have set our moving date as June 29.

Rose's third birthday!

A fun, although rainy day! First thing in the morning Rose opened her birthday gifts. 

 After presies we headed off to Cora's for a birthday breakfast.  The girls both had waffles.

We had mentioned it was Rose's birthday and our server brought this special apple swan with a candle in it at the end of our meal.

After our meal we went home and played with the games and toys and then headed off to meet Rose's gymnastics friends at an indoor playground.  We got there later than the group but ended up staying for 3 hours.  Rose and Paige were both just having tons of fun with the friends, and then other random kids once the people we knew left.

In the evening the family came over for dinner.

3 Roses for Rose's third, and the cupcakes we made.

Happy Birthday Rosie!!!
