Wonderful Distractions!

I'm really hoping that after the ultrasound I will be able to sleep again! I am having dream upon dream about the ultrasound and finding out if its twins or not! I wake up in the night thinking about it and can't fall back asleep. Sheesh already!

In other news; a few nights ago i was lying in bed and baby/babies starting rolling around! It was awesome! I could feel baby doing these slow rolls through my belly, i even felt a couple on the outside! I just lay there in bed enjoying it and trying not to fall asleep, I didnt want to miss a second of it! This is something that no matter how many times you've been pregnant, never gets old! I haven't felt it that strong since but the movements have been steadily growing stronger and more frequent! I'm thinking another 2 weeks and lawrence should be able to feel it!

God knew that I would need something to occupy my mind and hands while I wait for this ultrasound! Oh boy is there alot going on for us right now! And its all good! I just feel so blessed right now! Last week we signed an offer on our lakehouse! Wow! It happened a week after we took it off the market! So they have until August 6th the remove conditions, then completion is on the 13th! that seems so fast to me, which i like! We'll really miss our lakehouse! We only had it for a short time but that house and property was a realy life saver while lawrence and I were apart! It was so great for the kids to just be able to be outside exploring all the time! They really loved gardening and watching things grow! And all the lovely times we had a ton of people and children over! Good memories!! But that season is over! I would trade 10 giant lakehouses to be here with Lawrence full time! Were not thinking of buying here in Fort Mac just yet but it will sure be a relief to be rid of that mortgage payment! Our realtor Rick McDaniel has been amazing and I highly highly recomend him to anyone trying to buy or sell a home! He has worked relentlessly at this sale, even while on holidays with his family!! Rick actually sold our first home for us, helped us purchase and then sell our second and then purchase the lakhouse....and now sell it!

And then another great distraction! Were moving in one week! Our amazing friends that have rented us the house were currently in for a steal of a deal, need to move back in. We are so thankful to them for giving us low enough rent that we were first able to move me and the kids here with lawrence! They really have been the best, easiest landlords anyone could dream of! On saturday evening we get the keys to our new rental! Its in Timberlea (one of the newest areas of town) and so much closer to the school Gabe is starting at in the fall! Its way closer to Lawrence and Jeremy's work, it has parks everywhere you turn and the neighborhood is always filled with kids walking and biking around! Then there's the house! It just fits us so perfectly!! I will post pictures as soon as we get the keys! Sunday is our big moving day!

These things are really helping me not to go crazy wondering about this whole twin thing! Okay i'm still going a little crazy, but just imagine how insane I would be if I had no distractions!!
