Happy too that you keep it real - struggles and all - you never know who your words can encourage, and I'm sure many mamas feel the same way!<br /><br />p.s. Popcorn, knitting and Gone With The Wind sound like the perfect way to recover a bit from sleepless nights and a teething girly :)Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16103947009005304814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1386103698962783890.post-26920035032271313962013-02-11T20:01:02.532-08:002013-02-11T20:01:02.532-08:00Thank you Ann!!

Our only must-haves in a home are that Mike's commute be no more than 30 minutes each way (preferably less), and either 4 bedrooms or 3 bedrooms and an office. When you narrow the search to 4 bedroom homes the pickins become INCREDIBLY slim, unless you want to spend about $500k. Which we don't/can't. In a way, that's encouraging because if and when we do buy, it will clearly be Jesus providing a home for us!!Nikkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02227591186996624142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1386103698962783890.post-6619109639620464062013-02-11T08:23:11.597-08:002013-02-11T08:23:11.597-08:00Yeah for little teeth! An exciting milestone, but...Yeah for little teeth! An exciting milestone, but oh so painful for the whole family! Praying for you as you tackle two birds with one stone. New habits are so hard with little ones. You are not a complainer in my opinion. Being too positive or negative when it comes to parenting would not be telling the whole story. Being real is best and it encourages me and other parents and helps parents-to-be have a better picture of what they're getting into :) Love you friend. Miss you and your sweet girl, too!Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16362215787239574771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1386103698962783890.post-9729883060505397782013-02-11T07:38:26.409-08:002013-02-11T07:38:26.409-08:00I appreciate that you are honest about what mother...I appreciate that you are honest about what motherhood is like. Us aspiring to be parents can learn a lot! As always, enjoy reading your posts! By the way, have you guys considered Duvall in your house hunting? It was the last place we considered, but you certainly get more bang for your buck than the smaller and older houses closer to the city. I don't know which Microsoft Mike works at, but its only about 25-30 mins to the Redmond campus depending what time you commute (possibly longer if it's rush hour). But it's a nice, clean, safe neighborhood with some Mars Hill community as well. I hear the commute from Monroe isn't too bad either. Just throwing that out there! :)Brandihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12736788673503093805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1386103698962783890.post-24797289346675140582013-02-10T14:41:50.461-08:002013-02-10T14:41:50.461-08:00Don't worry, you won't have to swaddle her...Don't worry, you won't have to swaddle her forever! Even if she's not ready to transition now, it will happen eventually. And when she is ready, you might want to start with one arm still swaddled, but the other one free (just wrap under the armpit).
