Well, here we are, 28 weeks and into the third trimester! I seriously cannot believe how fast time has gone by. I think the fact that I was nauseated for all of the first and part of the second trimester and I didn't start showing until week 20 or so, this all kind of crept up on me. However, now that the third trimester is here I have completely dived into the nesting phase.
On July 5th Greg and I decided to give our 30 day notice at our apartments and rent out my Aunt and Uncle's rental a few miles from where we live now. It all happened so quickly, the last week has been a complete whirlwind. The house is a three bedroom, two and half bath, and perfect fit for us. They negotiated our rent to be incredibly low for what the home is in return for us fixing up the place and taking care of yard work while we live there. It also gives them piece of mind knowing we will be responsible tenants.
Part of our "work" has been painting and cleaning the house to get it ready to move in. I have put in 40 hours of work at the house since last Monday, but it is coming together. My mom spent Monday evening through Thursday night helping me prime and paint the three bedrooms, the dining room, a dividing wall between the living room and kitchen, as well as a wall in the living room. There are still a few walls I want painted, but am a bit burnt out on painting at the moment.
