We got two offers on our house! Neither one was perfect, but we counter-offered on one of them and the other has added an addendum, so we have a bit more time to see what is going to happen with everything.
We are going to go house hunting in earnest, tonight. Before, it was more to see what was available in our price range. Now, we can decide and start thinking about making an offer. We are getting excited! It is looking like it is all going to work out and we can be moved before the baby is born!
It looks like we are going to have to decide what is the most important to us. The houses have 1-2 bathrooms, 2-4 bedrooms. Some have unfinished basements. Others have huge yards. We have always said we wanted a little house and a big yard. There is one that fits that perfectly, the question is: Do we want that small of a house, so that we can have the huge yard (that needs a ton of work)?
So, we've been trying to decide what we really want and jump on it, before someone else does.
The good thing is that we are in a buyer's market. It looks like we are going to make it through the selling part alright, and since we are at an advantage as buyers, we may just make it through that, too!
I am so glad that things like this can be led by God and that he knows what is best for us. So many times our plans have been changed because we didn't go the way He had planned for us. Now, we've been taking it slow and praying a lot that things work out the way He would have them for us!

I am so glad things seem to be going so smoothly for you in this department. I am sure that brings a lot of relief.
I say go with a little bigger house, but still a big yard that doesn't require quite so much work ... after all you are going to have another little tyke on your hands soon :) !!
YAY!! I hope it works out! House buying and selling is so stressful.
My husband says two bathrooms are a must (poor guy can never do his business without a potty training kid dancing at the door. I need a living room and a family room and a fenced in yard before I can put down my money. Right now we are renting just that and it has been perfect for us. I hate looking at houses to buy because it seems that we always have to give up one of these luxuries. I hope you find a perfect match!
