We did it! We closed on our house. We are now homeowners. Up until September 30th we have the house and the apartment. This should give us a relaxing move for the lovely price of maintaining two residences. The week before we closed our realtor actually had to have arguments with the seller. He insisted [...]
So I bet you are wondering what happened with the house we were in the process of buying. I wrote about making the offer here and I wrote about the home inspectionhere. It ended with us finding out that the garage that was finished and turned into a master bedroom and bathroom along with the enclosed [...]
One year ago today, I went home for lunch from work and took a pregnancy test. It was positive. Today we have a 4 month old beautiful healthy daughter.
So my mother-in-law was in town recently and while my husband and I miss our families from time to time her visit reminded us that there are some benefits to living with your spouse and your new baby at atleast an 8 hour drive from family. I must say that it is common in both [...]

Oh shoot I forgot what I was going to write here….. Wait, now I remember. About a year ago, before I was even pregnant, my friend Kara told me about how she had a really bad memory while she was breastfeeding. I remember her describing it like “they suck it right out of you.” The [...]
When we were looking at houses in Jupiter I caught this rainbow. Hopefully it means we will have a good closing and have made a good choice on where to buy. Anybody else see signs from the universe as they make decisions?
So we found a house we love, we made an offer, and it was accepted. YEA!!!!!! Now the real work begins. When I was younger I always wondered why it took at least a month to close on a house. I mean you find a house you like, you get a loan and you buy [...]
Over the last month we have been looking at houses. I know people say it is a “buyer’s market” but I don’t know if that is true. With so many forclosures and short sales on the market I would call it a “banker’s market”. We looked at so many forclosures and short sales in such [...]
I used to post on the blog frequently so I bet you are wondering what I have been doing since giving birth March 2nd. The pictures should demonstrate what I have been doing the last three months; breastfeeding Fiona, born weighing 7 pounds, now weighs 14 pounds. She has doubled her weight in 3 months, [...]
About 2 months ago I gave birth to my daughter and as you can tell my blog writings have suffered. They have suffered so much that I have not written at all. I hope to start writing more regular as it is getting “easier”. The First 2 Weeks The first few weeks after I gave [...]
This week was my daughter’s fourth week out in the world. It is quite amazing to think that it has only been about four weeks since so much has happened and changed. Now that she is here, I can’t imagine life without her. Whenever I have a few minutes of free time after I have [...]
I gave birth to my daughter, Fiona, 19 days ago and I was not prepared for the challenging first week of breastfeeding. In the back of my mind I know it could be a challenge as its my husband and I’s first child and the baby does not come out an expert breast feeder. At [...]

At around 1 am March 2nd Tuesday morning we had our baby. She was a girl we named Fiona Olivia and she weighed exactly 7 pounds. We are exstatic to say the least. She is healthy and beautiful. I will be recouperating and I expect to not be able to update this blog during the [...]
This morning as I layed in bed, I thought I felt almost as if I were going to pee my pants. I got up and looked at the bed to make sure I had not broken my water yet. Nope, no dampness. But then when I went to use the bathroom, I heard and felt [...]

This week marks my 36th week of pregnancy. This is probaby the first week that I have felt uncomfortable, well aside from the 6 weeks of nausea during the first trimester but that was different. Sunday night I was unable to sleep at all. I had a sore throat and a congested head. This was [...]
