Hello! I hope everyone is doing well and is having a great new year. With the exception of my last post about my baby sprinkle, it’s been a little quiet over here at My Better Self. In addition to all the work of prepping for a second baby, my husband starting a new program at UNC, and the general craziness of the holiday season that just passed, we bought a house!
We’ve been searching for so long and we feel truly blessed that the time is now here. Honestly, once we learned that we were pregnant we kicked our search into high-gear. For months we were seeing tons of houses each weekend and basically whenever we had a few free hours. It’s no secret that the market has been crazy. After losing out on a few houses we were so elated when our offer was finally accepted.
I want to give a quick shoutout to our realtor, Nick Smutz (@n.smutzrealtygroup) who worked with us for years (literally) and spent hours listening to our check list which included bees, chickens, garages, etc. If you’re in the New Jersey area, I highly recommend checking him out!
Since we’ve bought a house I’ve felt my pregnancy-nesting really gear up, haha! I have the urge to organize everything as quickly as possible. Honestly it’s been kind of nice. I really like feeling the urge to prepare for this baby. I am always amazed by God’s design for pregnant women and nesting is one of those miraculous things. Sure, it seems tedious sometimes but women are designed to do this kind of work. It’s beautiful.
We have a few projects to complete before the move-in date is officially set and I can’t wait to share the details with everyone soon! Thank you to everyone who prayed for us and knew how long we’ve been looking.
