Wow amazing news on the offer :j
Good luck with the house hunting and maternity leave.0 -
Another month knocked off the mortgage. More debt reduced. Generally onward and upward for us.
We found another perfect house but were outbid after initially placing the same bid as our competitor. I'm not sure if it's hormones but I actually cried when I found that out this afternoon. Luckily another house has come on the market which is equally perfect so hopefully we can get an offer in for that tomorrow and be more sucessful.
38 and a half weeks pregnant now and I have the biggest bump known to man! Polyhydramnios (too much amniotic fluid) is the cause although they don't know why I have this so I am just like an egg on legs. I'm a little nervous they are talking about inducing early as a result possibly next week. Wish me luck!
