26 weeks and new house in My Metamorphosis

So in my last entry I talked about how I got approved for a home loan but Bradley didn’t and how I was hesitant to ask my dad to co-sign. Well, my dad came to visit and he actually OFFERED to co-sign! It was such a relief! So we did the paperwork and I got approved for a $230,000 mortgage. Wouldn’t you know right when I got approved, my “dream house” that I mentioned last entry was under contract :( I was so sad because NOTHING was suiting our needs. Every house was too open, too small, too small yard, to expensive, etc. Then I found this house over the weekend. The contract recently fell through and so the people dropped the price even more. Our realtor took us to look and it and right there on the spot Bradley said “let’s do this!” Here’s a few pics:

The house has so much more to offer than those pics show. It’s over 2700sq feet, 4 bdrm, 3 bath, and a REALLY good price. We are waiting for the final contract to be drawn up and then we should be ready to move in by mid-end of the July which gives us just enough time to get everything situated before Cassidy starts back at school and before the baby gets here :)

Speaking of baby, at my last doctor’s appointment the mid-wife said I’m gaining too much and will look like Kim K or Jessica Simpson by the end of my pregnancy if I keep this up. I literally left in tears. She was a total bitch. She was talking down to me like I was some moron with no concept of nutrition - um hello I do this for a living! And I would NEVER talk to one of my pregnant mom’s about her weight like that. In fact, most of my prenatal patients ARE obese and have high maternal weight gain but I actually have couth and CARE about their feelings. Anyway, I go back this afternoon for my 26 week appointment - I’m not going to look at the scale. I rejoined the gym after that last appointment, but haven’t been enough. When we move, I will be literally across the street from my gym so their really is no excuse, especially after the baby is born. But I’m trying to be more conscious of what I’m eating - I don’t eat shit, but I do eat when I’m hungry - which is like 24/7. But the pregnancy is going well - just big and tired. I went swimming at my mom’s yesterday and it felt so good, that was the most comfortable I’ve felt in months, I’ll def be doing that more. I feel a ton of movement and you can see my belly move from the outside. Name is still up in the air - but we’ve been referring to him as Shiloh - IDK if that name will still or not. So far it’s the only name we both like that isn’t “too white or black” and isn’t too weird or common, with a good biblical meaning. So we’ll see.

In other news, Cassidy is out of school and Zion just got here for the summer. Dun dun dun. Ugh he has not changed. I am trying to be positive, but he’s still the same lazy, manipulative, entitled brat. Fortunately, unlike when he lived with us I am working full time so I won’t be at home to deal with his shit as much. But just having him around, I feel like I’m always on pins and needles and can never truly relax. It’s a bad feeling that’s hard to explain. He hasn’t been too bad though, then again, he’s only been here for three days O_o

Thinking positive thoughts

Anyway, all and all everything is great. Bradley and I are really doing good - I am so happy in my marriage, I am so glad I stuck through all the BS because it was so worth it. I’ve seriously never been happier. I’m just ready to get in our new home and start this new chapter in our lives!
