ok, i think i might be getting a little tired of being pregnant. less than 5 weeks to go now, but it's starting to get tiresome. ever since i had my first at 35 weeks, all other pregnancies seemed way too long even though all the others were born a week or week and a half before my due date. physically i feel good, it's just the awkwardness of having baby stuck to the front of me all the time. bending down, tying my shoes, shaving my legs, all these things are getting more difficult by the day.

i have a doctor's appointment tomorrow morning. after this one, i guess i'll start going in every week.

for some reason we've managed to finish school at 1 the last two days. miraculous, since it normally takes us much longer. yesterday afternoon i took everyone over to Mayfield Park and we hiked the trails and chased the peacocks. it was something different since we never go over there.

we've been talking more and more about the idea of moving. what we haven't decided is whether or not to try to sell now before we buy something else, or rent out house and buy another and wait until a more opportune time to sell. it is such a buyer's market right now that if we can wait, we probably should. we'll make money off our house whenever we sell, it's just how much. if we wait a could of years, we might be able to really cash in. anyone wanna rent of buy a cute little house on the upper east side?

what we are unsure of is where we'd go. neither of us want to do the suburban thing. personally, i'd love to fund an old house in the downtown of either Georgetown or Round Rock. second best option would be to live out of town a bit on a few acres.

we have a few reasons for wanting to move. one is that we think the kids need to space. for them to roam and play, we have to drive to the park. we have a decent size yard for the city, but that's all it is, a city yard. they want trees to climb and places to hide. we have trees, but they're not climbing trees.  another reason for moving is to be near good schools. we don't know what we'll be doing next year, but we want to put ourselves in a place where good schools are available to us if we choose to use them. and then, third, we think it would be good to be in a bigger house. not a mansion, but maybe a few hundred more square feet. the biggest thing for me, over size, is that it is architecturally pleasing. i don't think i could move to a mcmansion even if it had 6 bedrooms and a pool. and by mcmansion, i hope you understand what i mean.

but we'll see what the Lord provides. if He chooses to keep us here, or move us to the suburbs, then i know it will be for our good and we'll rejoice. for now we wait and pray.

well, it is that time again. time to get out and brave the dark and cold (har har - 60 degrees) for my morning exercise.
