Michigan Bound

The house hunt started over the weekend. Brent and I flew to Grosse Pointe this past weekend and met with our realtor. He showed us several homes and we chose 1907 Country Club - I posted a picture for you. It's a charming little bungalow with wood floors, three bedrooms, and one very outdated but workable kitchen. It has a basement and a screened-in porch, which my kitty will love. It has lots of character and suits us to a tee. We placed an offer, which was accepted today by the seller! Now it's all pending the inspection and mortgage. Keeping fingers crossed. What a whirlwind the past few days have been. Hard to believe that one week ago I had never even seen Grosse Pointe and now here we are half-way to home owners.

I absolutely fell in love with the Grosse Pointe area. I had to pinch myself, it seemed too good to be true. Beautiful tree lined streets, darling homes everywhere, great little shopping areas, and lots of places to walk. It's right on St. Clair Lake, which is huge and lovely. We will have access to the lake for our kayaks. I can't wait to move there and it feels so much like home already. Brent and I are just thrilled. My parents and Brent's parents drove up to see us and help with the house search. It was SO nice to see them. They all love our little home we picked out and also love the area.

21 weeks along now, Baby is 19 weeks old. I think I'm expanding by the day.

• Baby is about 7 1/4 inches long.
• According to the book, baby weighs 10 1/2 ounces, but it was estimated at my last ultrasound that he/she was 12 ounces.
• Fetal digestive system continues to develop.

I have been scheduled for two appointments - June 9th for the routine 4 week check-up here at the local office and June 10th for the special ultrasound in Orlando. Brent will be done with the school year by then, so he will be able to take me to both.

We Hartsells are busy beavers lately. So much going on - but we are thankful it's all going well so far!

Love, Laura
