The ever changing game

Today is our last day with the Internet until we are moved somewhere else, which could be this weekend or it could be longer, I really don't have any answers yet. The appraiser is coming today for our home, which is different than the last known date of the 19th. I think its a good thing, it just makes things seem more secure with the sale of our home. I am more tired than I have been in the past little bit. When I had my targeted ultrasound, the tech said that my due date could be as early as August 2, which makes me 29 weeks today. All looks good with the baby, and he is still a boy :). We sign some more papers with the Brigham home today, then tonight is when the appraiser comes for ours. I can't get my stupid vacuum to work right, its very tempting to go get another one. I'm not sure how many times I have taken it apart, cleaned it and got it working right again but the thought of that just makes me tired right now. I think I could sleep for a week, the problem is that I think I have allergies and they have been keeping me up most of the night along with restless leg.

waiting

These must be boring posts and I'm pretty sure a year from now it wont even be something that comes to mind, but man I am an impatient waiter. So the 15th appraisal has been moved to the 19th and when the 21st rolls around they will have a completed appraisal turned in and who knows when they will have a closing date but it is certainly dragging. Does anyone have answers out there?? I just need a solid day... just one day that you wont be changing on me... then I can prepare accordingly. Water and power have been informed of the change, gas will be informed tomorrow and we will be hanging out here until we have a closing date, yes it saves us money and gives me ample time to clean a pack up whats left, so I should be pleased but I really just want it all set in stone.
 On a different note, we celebrated the infamous grandmothers day today, yes its mothers day but really unless I live in another state it will be grandmothers day, mothers don't get a day here. Jared had to work so I enjoyed church with my two kids, one is really quite easy the other is just not, at least at church. He loves nursery but man he does not want to hang out with mom for sacrament, can't wait till its three kids. I really am excited to have another baby to love on, I really love the baby stage, it helps me slow down and take in the beautiful creation that Heavenly Father has loaned to me. Maybe everyday is mothers day for me... I wish I could always keep that in mind. After church we enjoyed some fried potatoes and grilled cheese & ham then retreated to mine and Jared's room to watch the only TV still left in the house. We don't get reception but I did purchase a "Thomas the Train/Bob the Builder/ some other character I didn't know existed" DVD and while I tried to nap the kids watched the DVD. It wasn't super restful but I guess my body got a slight break. When Jared came home we went to do our grandmothers day rounds at the parents places, had a handful of awkward/painful moments at his parents... we really need to move away... and then were able to escape to mine and it actually wasn't as awkward or painful as it can be on occasions, we didn't stay long but that was okay and I don't think anyone cared. I make my life sound so hard right? its not so bad. If anything I learn to kiss and love on my kids/ husband a little harder so they can hopefully feel like home is a happy place. Anyone else love grandmothers day so much? I should quit being such a pregnant boob.
 Soooo we packed up just about anything we could part with on saturday thanks to the help of Jareds brothers trailer and some really nice friends and family who pitched in to help. Now our house appears how it did when we first moved in, only its been refloored, painted and its filled with memories. I really love my house, if it had a couple more rooms I could live here forever.
I spent at least two hours at the new place on friday, I don't know if I was just tired from a long day or what but it really needs some work before I can love it. Its hard to be somewhere and not start cleaning or fixing it. I really hope we can close on it when we have planned just so I will have time to get it alright before the baby arrives.

more time

I got some good news today, the appraisal has been ordered from the buyer on our home. Which means they have acquired financing. The issue is that they will probably need more time to finish the whole loan so the date of the 15th for closing has been pushed back to.... I don't know yet. Maybe a week later. I'm kinda tired of calling utilities to change the shut off date for everything so I don't know that I want to stay here for a couple days longer just to save some money on rent. I guess that I'd rather have more time to move out but its annoying to keep adjusting what can and can't be packed. So I think my plan is to still move out but during the day I can get the rest of my stuff moved if it hasn't been and then I won't need to let Ogden city, rocky mountain power, qwest, and questar gas know that I need more time here with modern conveniences. Am I crazy to not want to stay here for a couple more days to a week longer?

a slight hiccup?

Today didn't quite go as planned, I was supposed to visit the new place in Brigham after the inspection, but for some reason the power supply from the outside of the house doesn't connect to the inside of the house even though both units are fairly new, so there wasn't any power to help the inspector check those things that would be important to check. At least that is how I understood it. Also after calling the place I hoped we could rent for a months time I found out that instead of around $625 for a months rent it would be $800 for a months rent, which really doesn't sound appealing, especially after I just paid the mortgage on our house for this month and we really only need three weeks in another place tops. (I hope). I think what the new plan is for us to stay at an extended stay hotel for 2 weeks and then a week at my parents house. If things go as planned then we should be signing papers on our new home on the 30th and then I will have a week of fixing it up while we live at my parents. With this new plan it means that everything goes to storage, except clothes/ towels/ dishes/ food and cooking pans. I will have a tiny stove top and microwave to cook everything.. it will not be my kind of fun. I need to come up with a list of meal ideas that don't involve the oven for two weeks. I can live out of a suitcase for two weeks right?... with 2 children... in a small space... we'll make it work.

the schedule

Jared starts working Sundays tomorrow, its gonna be an awesome Sunday... not! I'll be the crazy pregnant lady chasing a two year old out of sacrament meeting tomorrow. Also we plan on moving this coming weekend, so if you don't have any plans... many hands make light work! Starting Monday I will have a packed week of crazy, but it will be easier to move on a weekend than it would be on a Tuesday when we close, please pray for the buyers to follow through and buy our place... I would sure hate to unpack these boxes, here. I think that it all will work out though, they seem to be getting all of their stuff in order, but prayers can't hurt :)
I have a small tally of things that I have gotten done in preparation for the move.
1. cleaned the fridge, it looks brand new... on the inside.
2. emptied 5.5 years of water storage bottles and recycled the bottles.
3. took almost all of my Rubbermaid containers to my parents barn to wait out the next 4 weeks or so.
4. packed anything that doesn't get used on a daily basis.

I have so much more to do. Monday I need to call and secure a rental for a months time. Tuesday is the last day I am taking hair appointments till we have the salon put together in the new house, Wednesday will be the day everyone calls me to try to get in (that's how it works). Both Thursday and Friday I have a Dr's appointment, one for a check up and one for my targeted ultrasound. In between it all I need to finish packing and deep clean the whole house, if all else fails we just need to be moved out by the following Tuesday. 10 MORE DAYS!

I'm a bad patient

I am 26.5 weeks pregnant, I don't talk about it much because I'm so concerned about getting settled and "nested" I guess. The last Dr's appointment I went to was when I was 17 weeks. That was almost 10 weeks ago, not recommended. Jared was in the process of getting health insurance through his old job in May, and my bills have been about $200 a visit with our private health insurance. Then Jared got a new job and with it came health insurance the day he started, so now I have an appointment on the 10th of May to check on my baby boy again. I'm concerned that my Dr wont be to pleased with me for the big space, but I couldn't justify $200 for a 30 second ultrasound and a urine test, especially with Jared's job change. I get asked all of the time how the baby is doing and all I can say is that he seems to be growing and he moves any time I take a second to stop moving. I should have had my big 3D ultrasound within this time and probably my glucose test, so it kinda stresses me out but I guess we'll just fit it in later.
