For Sale!

Our house is officially for Sale!
I am so excited- and a little nervous at the same time. Im ready to find a house that I know we can spend a long time in but very nervous that our house wont sell. We have one of the best lots in the neighborhood and its a great starter house for newlyweds or new families but between the four of us- we need more space! We definitely need something with a basement. Im hoping this process is pretty smooth and quick but you just never know with the market. Please say a little prayer & cross you fingers we find the perfect family for our house!
Im trying not to find a house that I LOVE because we wont buy before we sell but I have already found one that is TO DIE FOR! OMG! Its perfect for us. Its on a cul-de-sac, unfinished basement that we could finish one day and a beautiful kitchen! Im sure it will be gone before we even have a shot at it.
Anyways- we were going to sell the house by owner but we ended up finding a great realtor that has a set up to help with that darn 6% commission. We are in luck! He seemed really great and Im hoping this goes well! He actually suggested a price for our house that was a little higher than we had in our heads but we went with it because we know the buyer will talk us down anyways. The good thing is- we dont have to be out. I dont want to lose money on this house because it will always be our first home and because we built it we put ALOT into it! Brand new blinds, all new lighting, new ceiling fans, sinks, faucets, crown molding- you name it! So we definitely want to make at least a small profit.
On another note- we had a great weekend. We got alot done but we also spent some really good quality time together! The only bad part of the weekend was that UK lost in the final four- Im not a big UK fan but I would have LOVED to have seen them win the championship! Who cant root for their own state? We wanted to watch the game with some friends but it wasnt on until 9! I hated to wake Hannah back up and get her out so Jeremy stayed up and watched- I fell asleep a little after half time.
(I mean seriously- how SWEET is she!)

We had a beautiful day here today and we headed for the zoo! The warmth felt soooo good- I think Spring is FINALLY here! It was so fun to watch Hannah at the zoo this year because she can actually watch the animals. We took her into the petting zoo but those goats kinda creeped me out!




We grabbed a nice dinner out (diets start tomorrow!) I think I start a diet every Monday :)
Its Spring Break in Louisville this week and Im hoping that means work might be a little quieter and we can enjoy some warmer weather!

HAPPY APRIL!

Too {Cute} & Too {Funny} Tuesday!

I have found several adorable things recently that I had to share!!
Hannah will be sporting this adorable bikini this summer! How cute is that!?!? If only I could pull that off!


I found a pattern for this amazing Apron Knot dress on Etsy (my favorite!). I'm making it a goal to learn how to sew this summer. I hope this is something I can learn because Etsy has some amazing patterns! I also love the pillowcase dresses & hope to make those too! How beautiful is this dress?!?

In the mean time- this little girl has made us do nothing but laugh lately! Here she is all sprawled out on the floor- wiping the floor with a rag like she is wiping something up. She always pretends to clean things up because she sees us doing it. Monkey see, monkey do!!
She also loves putting things on top of her sippy cup and then pretending to take a drink. Here she is with the same cloth that she put over top her cup. Usually she takes a cheerio and puts it on the lid of her sippy cup and then leans down and eats it off of the top...No clue where she gets this stuff!
And her latest move- this little headstand. I see gymnastics in our future! She then rolls over and laughs so hard!
HAPPY TUESDAY!

lucky

some days I wonder how we got so lucky to be Hannah's parents! her personality is just contagious! we literally did not get out of our pj's today and between laundry and hannah's naps she kept us laughing all day long! it was a great day :)
I forced her to take some more pictures today- Ive been on a picture taking roll lately! Regardless of how I feel they turned out- they are fun to take & I like to share!! And my subject is pretty darn cute too :)


had to occupy her with the blinds!


this is how she feels about having the camera in her face :)



I just had to throw this one in- look at that hair! I Love it! She is definitely feeling so much better and I am SOO glad! This girl just cracks me up!!!

sick days with my girl

I really enjoy the days I get to be home with Hannah while she is happy and there is light outside! Most nights she is over-tired, over-hungry and cant wait until we let her go to bed at 6:30. But being home with her this week has allowed for some picture time! I know she has pneumonia but you wouldn't know it! She's not coughing or congested (which is why I blamed all of this on teeth!). Besides the fever and being very tired you'd never know she is sick. So in between one of her naps (she's on her third nap right now!) I tried to take some pictures. I have learned ALOT more about my camera- but I seriously need a STILL subject! Taking pictures with Hannah for 15 minutes wears me out! She literally doesn't sit. Maybe one day???? We will have picture OVERLOAD with our next baby- I even think Ruby would be an easier subject than Hannah :)

even when Im sick....

I still have my funny little personality :)

another one....

yesterday I got a call from daycare- Hannah had a fever...we all assumed it was her teeth- she's getting some big ol molars and her gums look pretty swollen. So I stopped and got some Ibuprofen and we went home. She was NOT herself- she was very whiny and clingy. She didnt want to eat or drink- I even put her milk in a bottle- didnt want it! Thats when you know something is wrong! She would have moments like that and then moments where she was happy and would play. So all day we alternated tylenol and ibuprofen. We all sat down to have dinner- she was just so cranky and exhausted so right before I put her to bed I took her temp- about 6:30. It was 103.9. I had just given her tylenol at 5:00!! So if anything that fever should be down. That really made me nervous. I dressed her light and put her to bed. We woke her at 8 or so to give her another round of ibuprofen. Jeremy came in to me and said she felt so warm. So we called the nurseline just to be safe. As we were on the phone with them her temp was now 104! That just made us too nervous so we hopped in the car to head about 30 minutes to the after hours urgent care. We were about 3 minutes from home and I looked back and I couldnt see very well because it was dark outside but I could tell her paci had fallen out- that was weird. So I looked harder and she was having another seizure. Same type thing but this was really scary because I had no idea if we should stop and pull her out of the carseat but we just immediately decided to take her to the closest place. I was much calmer this time- I think it was good we were in the car- I couldnt run around the house like a crazy person. But it was really hard because Jeremy was driving and couldn't focus on her so I had to just sit there and watch. We were smart enough to look at the clock and it lasted just over 3 minutes. Terrible. We couldn't drive fast enough. We decided to go back to Kosairs (they know us by now!). We know these are common- it doesn't make it any less scary. I know we probably shouldn't run to the ER every time she has one of these but we both agreed they will probably be seeing us every time it happens! (Yes we are first time parents!). The real reason we had to go was because we had no idea why she had a high fever. Which was why we were going to urgent care. We needed to find the cause of the fever. So they did a chest x-ray and started an IV (SOOO SAD!) and took some blood. Turns out its pneumonia! AGAIN!!! We had no clue. She hasn't been coughing or anything!!! I feel so bad because all day I just kept saying it was her teeth. Poor H! They say its really early so they ran some antibiotics through her IV. Her blood work came back ok- so its just the pneumonia we have to worry about- well and her fever.
Its just so weird because after it happened we both looked at eachother and we were like- we just knew it. Its like as the night went on we had this feeling it was going to happen. Her fever just kept rising. When we got to Kosair they took her temp and it was 104.7!! This was still rising even an hour after Ibuprofen. Thats what scared me.
Again shes a trooper. She hated the IV- I don't blame her. I could barely watch but by the end of our stay she was getting a little spunkier. She even re-set the whole antibiotic machine. That's our Hannah :)

We had a babysitter lined up for today so I could get into work but Im going to be home with her- if it was just her teeth I wouldn't mind but its so much more than that.

This is just scare that I know we are always going to have to keep an eye on.

Look at that sad little IV hand :(

Her bunny gets her through everything :)

Happy Monday!

arent they the sweetest :)
