Week 18

Well we passed our final inspection and drove down to Cocoa Beach. We got to the housing office right at 3:37 and they closed at 3:30...DANG IT!! We had to find a hotel and camp out for the night so we could go back first thing in the morning. Luckily we found a pet-friendly hotel right on the beach and Hope LOVED it!! We let her run off all her energy from being in the car all day and Ed and I went to bed early since we were exhausted. The next day we woke up bright and early and went straight to the housing office to get our letter we needed to take to Pelican Coast. From there we went straight to Pelican Coast and the lady said we were getting a house, but it would be 2 weeks. Here is a picture of the beach down the street from our house.

That was fine with us. Since we had so much time off we figured we would take off and visit our families for awhile. In the meantime, I was talking to PSA trying to set up a job interview so that when we did come back down I would be all set to start working until the baby gets here.

So we came down to Sumter, SC and have settled in with his parents for a nice visit. It has been so nice to be able to sleep in and not worry about the boat, or shiftwork, or the hospital. After all the driving the Jetta needed some attention so we took it to get serviced. When we went to pick it up from getting an "oil change" we found out that somehow it wouldn't start suddenly so they were going to have to keep it over the weekend. Well that was pretty much the final straw for Ed (he pretty much hates the Jetta) and since we were going to need more room in a vehicle with the baby (and future babies) we decided it was time to start looking for a car...

Here are some pictures of us while we were vacationing in Sumter. The first one is of Hope and Scarlett. They were best buddies and followed each other around everywhere. We got them matching collars!! :)

Here is a cute family picture!

Here is a better view of the ever-expanding "bump".
