Change of plans....

We had to walk away from the house - the inspection turned up lots of mold, and a structural problem that we're in no condition to address, and the seller was not willing to concede on the price. Basically, buying that house would mean overpaying, and moving into a deathtrap when I'm 8 months pregnant! So sad, but we had to let it go.

We found another house, a little smaller but just as charming, 20K cheaper with a better yard and fully updated. Our offer's been accepted, and the inspection is tomorrow, so I'll let you know how it goes. Closing date is much better too (in less than a month!) so we'd have time to get stuff done before I become too tired, hot and gigantic to move my butt off the sofa! I love this house too, but I still feel a sense of loss about the other one. Oh, we also fired our realtor, she was definitely not working in our best interest.

Our good friends had a beautiful baby boy, meaning that I am once again the only pregnant person I know! The Micro-Cat's kicking a lot these days (today I'm 6.5 mths along), and I'm starting to feel more and more excited about her arrival in September.
