Where oh where to start...

Wow, it has really been a while since I have done anything to update our blog, and so much has been going on lately. I guess to start out a little up date on the baby situation.

I am currently 29 weeks pregnant and had my last doctor's appointment this past Tuesday. So far I have only gained six pounds which I am proud of. People at work like to get on me saying I'm not eating enough or I'm doing this or that wrong, I wish they would step off... I haven't done things my doctor said I couldn't. Both the baby and I am healthy. The baby has grown a lot over the past month and a half. Currently she is measuring big for 29 weeks- I have an ultrasound on Sept. 21st to follow up more on that. Also since the last post I had a mini baby shower which was more so a hang out to see a couple of my friends before the left the state to go to school or to just make a change in their lives. We had a good time - had a few fun games and I got some great gifts. :)

On other aspects of life things have been pretty stressful over the past two weeks. My lease at the loft I live at was supposed to end Sept 21st and like a responsible adult made arrangements to move in to another place on Sept 20th... needless to say I went to the leasing office to find my pro-rated rent amount since we are leaving on the 21st only to be told we never turned in a 90 day notice and we would be stuck here at the least for another 90 days. This really put both my nerves and Michael's over the edge... we wrote a letter to the president of the company stating that on July 7th we had received a lease renewal notice but it had wrong information on it and I provided a call record where it shows over the next 24 hours I called 11 times to the leasing office to correct their mistake. The property manager gave me a call back, fixed the date on their information from Sept 30th to what the lease said as Sept 21st -- and also verified several times that we did not want to renew. She said she updated the records and would send it to us. She never did, but in the end they  have stated it's not their obligation to even remind us or to send that lease renewal out, they only do it to be polite.. ( yeah right! ) I also made a few other complaints about things that had gone on over the past year that we were here.

The best they said they could do is let us out of the lease on Oct 31st- rather than Nov 30th, but I contacted the property manager who said if we can find someone to take over sooner than we can still possibly be out of this lease and loft by Sept 21st. I have the loft on craigslist and have also requested the leasing office show our loft to people who come in interested in the property ( they have yet to show...) I had one response so far to the craigslist ad from a guy who wants to view the loft on Sept 13th and move in by the 16th! I hope this works out- I have sent him the application and the fee was waived by the property manager- I have no problem being homeless for a few days my Granny has already offered Michael and I a place to sleep for those few days and I guess I will fill my moms garage up for a week before the other lease starts!! Please keep your fingers crossed and us in your prayers that this works out for us... I really dont know what we will do if we are to pay for both places in October--- it's not something we have the finances for at the moment.

That's mainly whats been going on recently- We've been stressed over the loft situation and are hoping that this really works out for us ASAP. I will post more on the loft situation and after the ultrasound on the 21st!
