23 weeks (I think!)

We have hit the 23 week mark, I think, as I am still so confused with the due date switching, so it may be 24 weeks, ha!, but either way, another week has gone by. I have my doctor's appointment next week to do the glucose test. From what I hear, this is quite tasty, ha! Praying all goes well!


Things have been going well. I am feeling pretty good, even good enough to work out again, which has been really nice. I'm glad to be back in the groove! Little girl is quite active, especially late at night and first thing in the morning. I love waking up to her moving all around and laying down at night with her squirming. Such a fun feeling!


We have been in Columbia all this week. Living in a hotel is not quite ideal, but we are making the best of it. It's nice to be with Sean during the week! Chloe is in cheerleading camp during the day and is having a complete ball! I see pom-poms in our future!

We've made some headway on the house... The lender finally got the paperwork back from the new bank that the deed had been recorded so we could finally move forward with the closing. We are hoping to be in the house next week! WAHOO! I did tell Sean I wouldn't do a victory dance until we had the keys in our hands, but we are atleast getting closer. It has certainly been a long time coming, so we are praying this is the end of the road and it is time to get settled in our new home.


Sean and I are heading to New York tomorrow, for the weekend. SO EXCITED! We are going to stay with my best friend Carrie and see Dave Matthews and Zac Brown Band on Saturday @ Met's Stadium. I'm really looking forward to seeing Carrie, hanging in the city and having my last plane ride/big getaway before little girl joins our family. My little brother is flying up on Friday to join us as well. It's going to be a great weekend! Every year Sean and I go to atleast one (sometimes more!) DMB concert's, and since Dave isn't touring next year, we decided this would be a great year to see him in NYC. Gotta love the excitement of being in the city!

And now for a 23 week update!
