We've been in NC for a little over 2 weeks and we've accomplished everything that we wanted to so far. The day we drove into town I received a call from our realtor in TX saying that we had an offer on the house. Woo Hoo!! We were so relieved to be able to sell the house so quickly! We should close on that house on May 6. Then after a few days of house hunting and a few days of negotiations, we were able to find our perfect house here in NC. We close on this house on May 9. Not too shabby!!!
Since there isn't much else to do until closing, Alexander and I are taking off tomorrow for the great state of KY. I'm really excited to get to spend a lot of time with family and friends. Alexander has grown and changed so much since Christmas and I can't wait to show him off! I think he's going to have a great time with everyone. And although we are both going to be missing Chris A LOT, it will be really good to be out of tlf for a few weeks!
This past weekend we have been house/dog sitting for some good friends and it has been so nice to be able to spread out some. It makes us very excited about moving into our new home! Alexander has loved playing with all of the different toys that this house has to offer including the swing set outside and the trampoline. He hasn't quite figured out how to jump yet (we're working on it), but he loves to run around in circles on the trampoline. Pretty entertaining! He also loves to climb up the slide and then go back down again on his bottom.
However, I think his favorite part about staying here has been Dakota, the dog. She is a chocolate lab and is just about the best dog I have ever met! She is so patient and kind to Alexander even when he's pulling her tail, hugging her, chasing her around, eating her food and yes, even kissing her! It's been really sweet to watch him love her so much. No, this does not mean that the Troyer family is going to acquire a dog, but it is nice to see him enjoy her so much.
Tomorrow, I'll be 21 weeks into my pregnancy and I'm feeling really great! I'm still wearing all of my normal pants, just with a little help from rubber bands or the stretchy belly band. I am definitely in maternity tops though. At my appt last week I had gained about 8 pounds.
Well, if he ever decides to wake up from this 3+ hour nap that he's currently taking, we'll leave and get back to reality in the tlf. Tomorrow morning, Alexander and I head out for KY. Wish us luck!!!
