24 Weeks and a Closing Date!!!

This has been an exciting week for us and an answer to countless prayers! God is good and is teaching us patience and trust through this whole experience. I am so thankful for such a wonderful husband that has been handling our housing process from the financial end. Needless to say, my expertise as a Kindergarten teacher hasn't brought much to the table where loans and bank issues are concerned! In early October, we looked at a house that we instantly fell in love with. We loved everything about the house and had that "right" feeling. After deciding to make an offer, we officially began the process of buying a house. So many prayers have been answered throughout the whole process to make all of it happen that we feel confident we have made the right decision. We are so appreciative of all of the prayers and support from family and friends and are right now set to close November 23rd. We know we're not in the clear until we actually close though, so please keep the prayers coming! This is going to be a crazy month as Sean finishes his Master's in December and takes another CPA section on November 30th. Oh yeah, me and Porter aren't much help with the whole moving process either :) Our plans are to paint on Wednesday (the 24th) and move on Sunday (the 28th). Any available people are more than welcome (we pay in pizza and cupcakes haha)! (House pictures to come after moving day...)

In baby news, we had our 6 month appt. on Friday and things are going well. I'm measuring right on time and Porter's heart rate was great. I'm feeling like we might not have such a small baby on our hands here though. I feel like I have doubled overnight! We are so enjoying him growing because we're being able to feel him kicking and moving around frequently. He seems to be quite a nocturnal baby, which I'm hoping might reverse by March (wishful thinking!). I can't say enough how thankful we are for this sweet blessing in our lives. My prayers right now are that he would continue to grow and be healthy and that God will give me wisdom and guidance to prepare me to be his mommy. It seems kind of crazy (and still a little unnerving) that we will be meeting our little boy in less than 16 weeks now! Here's our 6 month photo shoot:
