On the Market!

Sorry it's been a week since the last update, but we have been frantically working on the house to get it ready to list. Cleaning, clearing out clutter, putting on new kitchen countertops, fixing drywall and mortar cracks, touching up paint, planting shrubs and flowers...whew! Mom and Dad spent most of last week here helping me with all of the projects - I couldn't have done it without them. As of yesterday afternoon, the house is officially on the market. We're having the realtor change some of the pictures and some of the wording on the listing, but that should be done by this afternoon. Hopefully we'll get some good traffic this weekend - please keep us in your prayers! We had one showing at lunch today - I was excited that we already had someone want to see it. Our biggest concern is that we have a contract before we move at the end of the month - empty houses are harder to sell.

Sweet baby girl is 16 weeks old as of Tuesday. Hard to believe that she will be 4 months old in a week.


She's still sleeping so good for us. She's (almost) always so happy when she wakes up in the morning or from a nap. This is what I usually find when I go in to get her - a smiley face and legs kicked up in the air.

She's still having fun sticking her hands in her mouth and trying to grab her feet. It's funny watching her curl herself up - what a cutie!

As I've mentioned before, we started swaddling her for her afternoon naps. Last night she really needed a short nap before her last feeding and bed, and she got overtired and was having a really difficult time going down. Jiggling, holding, swaddling, swing...none of it was working. I finally ended up putting her in her swing, swaddled, and sang to her for a few minutes. Finally, a combo that worked! She looked so peaceful and cute all swaddled up in her Miracle Blanket.

She looks kind of like a Gloworm when she's swaddled like that.
