March- A Month of Change

I realize I'm very behind in Sena's birthday post. I promise it will come shortly. Things have been pretty crazy in the Williams' household....
In January, we found out I was pregnant. I'm now about 15 weeks and we're expecting this little one to arrive late September. The news was first received with pure joy, and then a bit of panic- how are we going to fit another baby and all of their "stuff" into this house? So..
We decided we'd put our house on the market on March 28th. And that night we had an offer! So, over the past week we've been negotiating and finding our next house and signing contracts! It appears by May 1st, we'll be saying so long to the Dahlia home and hello to a larger, but not updated home in Louisville.

We're very excited but also sad to say goodbye to this house. It has been a wonderful home- it is our first "home" that wasn't a rental, and of course the first home Sena will ever know. We've put a lot of love and sweat into this house and have updated everything to our specifications and now we'll walk away giving someone else that work. I'm having a little bit of a hard time with this aspect, even though I know we'll do the same thing with our next house. There are a lot of things I'll miss. (A lot I won't too, i.e. the stairs or having dinner parties where people sit on the stairs because they don't feel like they're supposed to go downstairs.) The new home has a wonderful floorplan perfect for kids and for entertaining. But it has no personality right now and is straight out of the 80s- brass fixtures, white carpet, you get the gist.

Everything is happening so quickly that I just know it will feel like we'll blink and we'll be in a new house, trying to get settled and make it our home just in time for our fall arrival.

As things progress we'll post pictures. And I'll be back to fill you in on Sena's birthday celebration. Until then... a glass of wine would be great, but I guess I'll settle for some juice ; )
