I don't drive in the snow- so, for the second day in the row Eva and I have been stuck in the house. It hasn't been so bad, it's kinda nice to just relax. Especially now that I'm in my third trimester, and I don't have a ton of extra energy.

Speaking of pregnancy, I'm 30 weeks! Which sounds so great, except someone last night said "Just 10 weeks to go." And, for some reason, 10 weeks sounds long to me. But, 9 weeks sounds really good, so I guess I'll just look forward to next week.

Eva eats frozen peas, did you know that? She doesn't eat much of anything else, but she begs for frozen peas. A while ago, at dinner, she finished all her peas and asked for more. Of course I'm going to give her more, so I refilled her bowl. She inhaled those and asked for more. Again, I refilled her bowl. And again, she inhaled and asked for more. So, I just gave her the bag...

So, we got another offer last night. We countered back and forth for awhile, until we liked what we saw, and accepted their offer. Then, their Realtor when MIA for the rest of the night, so we never got to finalize it.

This morning, I got a call from our Realtor saying the other people were having second thoughts and wanted to come see the house again. They have until 6pm tonight before the contract times out, to make up their minds.

I'll keep ya posted.

*** update ****

We have a signed offer. It will be a done, firm deal on Sunday (Lord willing). Hooray!

Well, the realtors came last night and the home photographer is coming in one hour. It is so hard to make the house look picture perfect with a 2-year old around! Last time I did this, she was just a baby, so when I cleaned something- it stayed clean. And if I picked up toys- they stayed picked up. But, for the most part, I think our house is ready to show.

My hot husband is in the kitchen making chocolate chip cookies for me as I type this. He's great. I was whining how there were no sweets in the house. Because even though I went grocery shopping today, I was such a good girl and passed the cookie aisle AND the ice cream aisle without stopping. Well, I also had a screaming kid in the cart begging for the bulk cashews I just bagged. But, I couldn't give them to her until we checked out, cuz you know, they charge you by the weight of the bag. So, I had to beeline it to the checkout sans unhealthy evening snacks.

And that is why, at 9:12 pm, my sweet husband (the baker of the house) is whipping up some of his famous chocolate chip cookies.

What else is new? Not much. That's why I haven't blogged. I have Starbucks news for you though. I don't know when it happened. Maybe in the last couple months or so? But, my drinks have been tasting mysteriously different. Like they are missing something. And last week I figured out what it was. On their espresso machine, a magnet read:

"Like many of you, we have switched to 2% milk"

Ahhhh! The horror! Why didn't they tell me? I enjoy every drip of fatty homogenized milk in my lattes thankyouverymuch. And can I just say, I am slightly annoyed that I now have to add two more words to my long drink order. I can just see them rolling their eyes at me as I spew out what I want:

Decaf Tall Whole Milk Americano Misto with Foam

And if I go thru drive-thru I have to get them to add the extras, so the order is even longer:

Decaf Tall Whole Milk Americano Misto with Foam, 2 Raw Sugars and a splash of Coffee Cream

Are you rolling your eyes? I know it sounds ridiculous, but trust me, you should go to Starbucks right now and try one, you really should. It won't disappoint.

I got an Ipod!

EEEEeeeeeeeeeee.

Twenty-six weeks down, 13 more to go. This pregnancy has been a breeze (knocking on wood) and I'm actually sad it's almost over. I'll probably be singing a different tune as I come closer to my due date. But, for now, I'm happy as a clam to be pregnant. This one has been so much easier than last time.

I love "Baby Bean Time". Every morning, after Nich's alarm goes off (around 6am), Baby Bean wakes up and kicks and pushes. And I just lay there, with my hand on my tummy and enjoy him. I have to say "him" because I don't want to say "it" and Nich is really hoping for a boy this time, so maybe? just maybe? it's a boy. (Although, for the record I'm thinking it's a girl. And we still need a girl middle name. Any ideas?)

Ok, how abouts a belly shot.



I just bought that hoodie at Thyme Maternity, and it fit a bit big. Then I accidentally put it in the dryer and it shrunk. Needless to say it won't be lasting me very much longer.

Well, stay tuned for a new house post. When I get around to it, I have pictures to share :) Woowwoo.
