The Baby needs a house!

So I know it's been a while since I blogged, but I am redeeming myself with some pictures of what is happening in our lives. My belly is growing, growing, growing. I put a picture on here of my belly as of today, this would be 6 1/2 months. I know the pictures are dark, but they will have to do for now. The baby still has no name, but doesn't seem to mind. He is kicking like crazy ALL THE TIME! And when I say all the time, I mean ALL the time. I wake up in the middle of the night several times and every time he is kicking a lot even then. I can't imagin that he sleeps very much. I hope this is not a forshadowing of what will come. He does kick more though in the late evenings and very early mornings.
I put a picture of the house that we are looking at right now. We are more serious about this house than any other one we have looked at, which makes me very happy because 2 weeks ago we were still planning on living with the very generous Bills family when the baby came (which of course still might happen.) With only 2 1/2 months to go I am starting to feel a little on the desperate side to find a place. I don't have pictures of the inside yet because technically the house isn't even on the market yet. It is brick house with a 2 car garage. 3 bedrooms, 2 baths. The man has redone a lot inside the house and it looks really open and bright. Most of the land is to the right of the house (when facing the house) and some is in back of it. There is a place for me to plant a garden in the back yard (very exciting!) and plenty of room for horses (~7 acres). Only alittle of the land is fenced, so we will have to do a lot of that. But of course I live with an expert fencer and his dad isn't so bad himself. The place is within Tullahoma city limits which makes it good for resale and good school systems also. So enjoy and make comments!

This is the big part of the land (7acres) that is with the house.
It sits to the right of the house. (the rest is behind the house)

Here is the house from the road. The brick is an orange/red color.
The garage is on the left (attached) and the driveway starts at the left also.
Here is "the belly." 6 1/2 months.
Again, kinda a dark picture, but you get the idea.
I tried to pull my shirt back so you could see the bump.

Looks good you guys, though I don't envy all of the fence building. We'll be praying for your house search, we know how stressful that can be.

How exciting! You have so much going on right now! I can't wait to hear more about your experiences. I like the house! I can't wait to see pictures of the inside...don't forget to post them.

Nice place! Not surprising that it is mostly land and just a little house (comparatively), but it looks like a beautiful, peaceful option.

As for the "bump", I think I don't like you. I mean, you're 6 1/2 months and you have to pull your shirt back so that it actually shows?! My shirt needed no help long before 6 1/2 months. Seriously, though, you look great. It's all that baby kicking; he's burning calories, huh?
