Tonight is another pregnant sleepless night. I tried sleeping, but I woke up covered in hives scratching myself again. I took a bunch of Benadryl, as I usually do, and now I'm up and bored til the stuff kicks in :)
I wanted to create a journal for my baby. Something that he/she could have someday to know more about mom and dad and where they came from. I had been attempting to write all of that information down, but I have been failing miserably. I told my friend Stacie about my "goal" and she recommended that I start a blog. I never really pictured myself as a blogger, but being able to mindlessly type in an online journal is pretty cool. Plus I type a hell of a lot faster than I can write!!
Today was a pretty crazy day! BJ and I started a pre-qualification process on a mortgage. We just might have our house by the time the baby gets here! We drove around for a few hours looking at houses and I have to say that I am in LOVE with the Daybreak area. It had the most amazing Pleasantville feel to it (if that doesn't make sense to you, watch the movie!). There were kids playing everywhere, it felt so happy and safe... It was almost like the feeling of Bristol Road where I grew up. I want that for my kids. I want my kids to be able to play in a neighborhood where it is safe and parents don't have to watch the kids every move... I want my kids to grow up in an area down here that is similar to where I was lucky enough to grow up. I don't want to deadbolt my kids in to a house and tell them to stay inside until I get home from work. I never had to do that growing up and I certainly don't want to do that to my children because we choose to live in more of a city than Logan.
There were parks all over in Daybreak, a man-made lake... beautiful scenery everywhere. The houses are so cute and they are all new which means that there is going to be less maintenance for us in the short-term. The houses will definitely appreciate out there as well, so even a townhouse is a good investment opportunity. BJ should find out tomorrow how much of a mortgage he qualifies for, and then we can start the search. We didn't even want to start this process until after we had the pre-qual letter. It is looking very promising though and we are absolutely ecstatic over this!
I will keep you posted.

Hey welcome to the Blogging world Mrs. Hahn!! I am excited you are doing it.. So it sounds like you are looking for a house? Or may have found one? That is so neat!! Us too, down here in the sumac area we made an offer and they accepted so we'll see! Fun FUn! So how is the pregnancy going? When do you find out what you are having for sure?
I find out July 15th hopefully! I'm just barely 16-weeks now, so while I could find out now, it's better for me to wait. Congrats on finding a house! That is so awesome!!!
