In other news...
We have listed our house with an agent now. We are priced rather aggressively, so hopefully the house just sells without too much of a fuss. We decided to go with an agent to take some stress off since we are getting closer to baby time. I feel pretty good about the agent we chose. He lives in our neighborhood in the same type of house as us. He too is looking to sell in the next year or so and move back up to Salt Lake County. He obviously will want to get the best deal on our house for us, because when he goes to sell, ours is going to be a comparable for him. I was also happy that he agreed to not take a commission on the sell. We still have to offer the standard 3% to the Buyer's agent, but our agent said that he would waive his fee as long as we used him when we went looking for our new house. It's weird how much the market has changed now. It must be hard to be an agent. You are still doing all the same work (if not more), but only getting half the pay (paid on the buying end, but not the selling). I think a lot of agents are doing this now just to get by. Wierd!
The baby bedding fabric is in. Traci (mom) and I will be sorting through patterns and fabric this weekend to see if we are going to be able to tackle the task. We have a pinch hitter waiting in the wings in case things get a little overwhelming. I'm hoping it all turns out as nice as I am imagining.
Things are going good with our first child, Milo. Although, I was a little confused when we came home and he greeted us at the door. Somehow he escaped his kennel and was able to have free reign of the house all day. He had a few accidents, but luckily he used the freshly epoxied floor in the basement to have them. I wish I had a video camera of what he did all day. Guaranteed he jumped up on our bed and nested in the blankets for the majority of it. :)
Kytah is still doing good too. She's such a good ol' dog. Just takes Milo's thrashings in stride and allows the little guy to sass her all he wants. I often feel bad because I feel like her quality of life continues to dwindle, but I guess that's part of being old. She shows no signs of being even closed to done with this life. 13 years and still kicking!
Things are good at work, but Jeff andI are both feeling a little overwhelmed. I've definatley got to learn to say no, and not take some much pride in what I do. I'm the type that takes on too many tasks because I want it done right. Little man isn't going to have it much longer. Today I was realizing how uncomfortable it was to slouch over my computer. If I lean back I can't see the screen, and if I lean forward, my belly gets in the way. :) What's a prego girl to do?
I think that's mostly it. I'll try to keep up on the blog. Definately with have some pics of the finalized baby bedding. I'm also getting geared up for baby shower season, so that should be a lot of fun. 9 weeks and counting!
