I think Mr. Man and I have lost it. We just started the process yesterday to buy our first house!!!! AHHHH! I'm super excited about having a house and not renting anymore, but this is all falling at a really bad time. Since our loan is through a government program it can take 4-6 weeks to get the house. This really means that it could take less time, but it could take more.
What else is happening in the next 4-8 weeks? Oh not much...Just giving birth!!! I still don't know if my doctor will let me try to have a VBAC or not, so I might have to go through another c-section which would be just grand for moving. Last night I came to the realization that I'm ready for this kid to come out now. I have about 2 months left to go, but the super-uncomfortableness has just set in full force.
Our hope with the house is that everything goes really fast and we can get things fixed and moved before baby comes, or things get really delayed and we do everything after. Not only do we have to worry about baby coming, but Mr. Man is getting to the busy point of his semester and has a ton to write and other stuff to do for class. So this means I'm handling most of everything. I don't mind since I don't have school and I would much rather be doing all the house stuff than writing a paper any day.
There are some fun parts to having a new house like picking out flooring and paint. Right now I'm looking for inspiration. In my dream world that has all the money in the world, I want to put wood (or what looks like wood) in the "great room" (living room, kitchen, hallway) and recarpet all the bedrooms. I know carpet can happen, but I'm not sure about the rest. The kitchen floor isn't bad, but I'd still like to have one type of flooring rather than the 3 that are there now.
My days will be filled with trips to HomeDepot, thrift stores, and fabric stores looking for ideas to decorate the new place. I just wish we had cable so I could watch TLC for some more inspiration.
