Just when life starts to seem like everything is under control and going great.....something is bound to happen. Well, we thought everything was under control for the most part. Our baby girl is due May 31st. Kevin is scheduled to take his Boards part 1 in July. We found a way to make it to the family reunion in Utah. My mom bought tickets to come and help me in June. Life is going well.
Then the doorbell rang on Wednesday morning and I unexpectedly received a certified letter from our landlord. I was extremely confused but opened it and read it. It kindly said(if you can kindly say this) that our landlord would like to sell this unit and we have until the end of April to move out. I was in shock!!! Of course when you are pregnant everything seems worse than it is. I was having this thought of having to move out 8 months pregnant with no where to go and no money.
Of course after I broke the news to Kevin is didn't sound so bad. I guess I am lucky I am married to a rock. He hardly waivered and said, "Okay, well then let's start looking." That's Kevin for ya. So for the last 3 days we have been looking. We want to stay in our current complex if possible because we like our neighbors and I feel extremely safe here , not to mention how much I will enjoy the pool this summer. We have looked at about 6 units and all of them are in much worse condition than ours and the rent is atleast$150 dollars a month more. We feel really stuck.
Luckily, our fabulous neighbors the Scotts just moved out (not lucky that they moved out, we were extremely sad about that) but lucky that their unit is now for rent. We are now thinking that we can move just 2 doors down and actually end up saving $50 a month in rent.
Well we still have a bunch of details to work out but we hope this will all be over as quick as it started.

When you are pregnant and you title a blog "bad news," I have to admit I was a bit worried. But after reading, I realize it is not so bad and things could always be worse. I know it sucks to move, but just think this is a new adventure and a chance to get something fresh and new. I moved six months prego and it sucked. So I do not envy you. I am sure everything will work out. I wish we had bought a house in Houston and then you could just move in with us. Hee Hee. Its always fun to dream.
ditto!!! i was way freaked out when i read the title. so just let us know when we can help you with the move... i'll watch the boys - and bri can help move stuff. i love volunteering him for things. and can i tell you just how AMAZING the new children's museum is? incredible. do you guys want to go on monday with us?
Bummer about the moving thing, but I know that everything will work out - maybe it will be a blessing? Your little guys are SO cute! I can't wait to see them in person this summer! It's going to be a crazy one for you guys huh? Good luck with everything, we'll be thinking about ya!
I think you need to change your title, it scared me too! Well at least I am not the only one that will have to move when they are 8 months pregnant. (We sold our place and will have to find a new place starting in June) I can watch the boys for you, please call me!
Okay I agree, the title had me freaking out. I am so sorry to hear about this. We had a similar situation happen to us when I was 7months pregnant and everything worked out for the best. How ironic that the Scott's just moved...what like Friday? If that falls through come live by us.....no pressure,hahaha! I will take the boys, help you pack up, clean the apartment...whatever..just let me know!
I know what you mean when you say everything seems much harder when you are pregnant! Sorry you have move and at such bad timing! I'm glad it looks like it will work out though! Just keep working on making that baby! Excited to see her when she comes! When are you going to be in Utah?
Wow! From the sound of it- you are one rock yourself!!! Props to you for being able to handle so much:) Wish that I was there to help you move...
See ya soon at the reunion!
