Whoa, how did Thursday happen? I've been so busy this week, it's just flying by. I am in the midst of working, party planning (Eva's birthday bash countdown: 3 days), Christmas cards, annnnd we might be house hunting.
We weren't planning on looking for a bigger place until long after Baby Bean arrived. But, Nich works for a builder, and the Big Boss said we'd surely get a great deal if we wanted to buy one. So, we picked our townhouse, and then talked numbers with the Big Big Boss.
No deal.
I wish first Big Boss wouldn't have gotten our hopes up. I was so bummed. I ate lots of ice cream, and had lots of Starbucks therapy. But, I'm doing better now. And, hopefully we can settle this moving thing before Baby Bean arrives.
Now, I need some advice. Some background: Nich and I have always bought brand new. In this scenario, selling and buying are relatively easy and there is almost no fear of having two mortgages at once. Now, my question for you is, HOW does one normally go about buying and selling with trying to work out the dates so you're not:

A) Homeless
B) Strapped with two mortgages
Do you buy first? Sell first? Make an offer contingent to sale? I need your wisdom, oh wise ones. Please share.
In other news, I have my Dr.'s appointment this afternoon. So, a Baby Bean update is surely to come soon. And belly pics.
Until then...how about a goofy picture.

I love the picture! At first I was like, how did her tongue get so red? But I figured it out, don't worry.
I'm sorry that I have no wisdom for you. I have never purchased a home. Sorry! I would guess though that you have your purchase conditional on the sale of your place.
