The girls had a great Easter! The Easter Bunny brought Ellie a hula hoop, a My Little Pony, and an Easter basket with the Madagascar DVD, socks, undies, shorts, a tank top, a mini Etch-a-Sketch and a few treats. Jaymeson got a talking/singing purse and a basket with the Madagascar 2 DVD, shorts, a tank top, socks, bubbles and some other treats.
We spent most of the day at Debbie and John's house, and Jaymeson took part in her first egg hunt. The eggs have different amounts of change in them, so both girls brought home some money for their piggy banks. My mom had gotten them both some beautiful Easter dresses, and we were able to get a couple of decent pictures. Ellie wore hers all day without getting it too dirty...pretty impressive.
In other news, we're struggling as far as house stuff goes. Someone Josh had worked with at FCC expressed interest in our house, so we didn't put it on the market. She made it seem like it was a done deal, but then they came in with a low offer that would have resulted in us losing money, as well as some other things the realator claimed were the case, although we were told differently by this family. We put an offer on a house, and it was accepted, contingent on the sale of ours, and the sellers were willing to wait for us to sell. Then, on Saturday Josh got a text saying they changed their minds, and wanted to aggressively market their house again, so we're back to square one.
We met with our realator today and she is ready to put our house on the market. We need to do some repair work, as well as get rid of a lot of stuff, so that will likely be on the agenda for the next few weeks. It's tough when Josh is coaching every night because I can't get down the basement to do some "serious" cleaning with both girls here. I guess we'll do the best we can, and hopefully we can get an offer. We'd hoped to be out before the baby came, but are willing to wait and make it work until we get something lined up. Ellie is really excited to share a room with Jaymeson either way, and we bought some bunk beds on Friday that she would love to get into. We were hoping to just set them up in the new house, but may set them up for her now, and move Jaymeson into the bottom bunk when she's a little older.
Everything is good with the baby and me. I went in for my 29 week appointment, and although I was 29 1/2 weeks I measured at 32, which had me slightly concerned. They had me come back a week later, and I measured 30, so she assumed the baby was just sitting up higher than usual. That could have explained why I was super sick that week, and why my reflux medicine was not working. I have another appointment in two weeks to pre-register for the hospital, and then again in four weeks. It's hard to believe that I'm only about nine weeks away!!!
Jaymeson has continued to suffer through ear infections, so on Friday we're taking her in to have tubes put in. They said the procedure itself takes about five minutes, and she'll be away from us for about 15, and that we should be home within one to two hours after the procedure. I'm nervous, but hopefully at the same time. Hopefully this will be the end of many sleepless nights, and crying fits, as well as late night trips to pediatric urgent care and the pharmacy. Josh has been really good about taking her in when we sense that it's an ear infection and I'd say three out of four times we're right. If we take her in and there isn't one, then usually within the next day or two one appears.
Josh is coaching JV softball at Central, and has a 1-1 record. This week the play Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. We went to the games last weekend, and watched some practice the other day. They're not bad, but I'm not sure how he deals with high school kids all day then 20-some high school girls for another two hours at night. I think I would go insane.
Hopefully we'll have some good news on the home front soon that we can write about. We'll see some of you at the walk on Sunday!!!
