this and that and being back in the country

First off, Guatemala was amazing. It is beautiful there, the people were great, and sicknesses were kept to a minimum. We have been back for a week and a half, and I am finally starting to feel like things are normalizing. If you want to know more, just ask me about it and I will give you the whole run down of the twelve days and show you a million photos. :)

Jason and I got a phone call from Arlen while driving back into Nampa from California last monday night saying he has someone he wanted to show the house to, when would it be finished? So we spent all day on the 4th, all day the 5th, 2-10pm on the 6th, and several hours the morning/early afternoon of the 7th getting absolutely everything finished. We even bought a tiller and tilled the garden spot after pulling and bagging all the weeds. At 6pm monday night we signed paperwork with Arlen and tuesday morning the house went, officially, on the market. then, last night Arlen left us a list of things to touch up before this morning, because he had found a second person to show it to today, and the original woman is tomorrow. We were there till eleven last night finishing up touch up paint, some little cleaning things, and I scrubbed the floor on my hands and knees. I just pray that someone wants to buy the house. That they see all the hard work we have put into it, even though its 14years old. It has been such a burden, and I'm ready to be done with it.

Besides the travel and the cleaning, baby is also doing well. I had a doctor appt on the first, and heart rate was 150. Getting lower each time so we will just have to wait and see if old wives tales are acurate or not. :) The ultrasound appointment is July 21st at 830 am. Jason gets to come with me to that one, but then he cant go to any more appointments because of his new work schedule and Dr Anstine's schedule. I am excited to find out, a little tired of waiting. I want a girl most, but I think I have come to terms with either option. There are benifits both ways. Now I am mostly hoping that we are able to tell. That would just be terrible if we waited so long and baby wouldnt let us see! I will be at twenty one weeks two days at the next appointment.

Okay, I think that about covers everything in the last month or so thats happened. I will let you know when I know more.

  1. Don't worry, you're ultrasound will be here and over before you know it, and we'll know if you're on team pink or blue! (My baby's heartbeat was 154 at my 21 week ultrasound after having been in the 170's before). Can't wait to hear the news!
