16 weeks!

It's hard to believe we're already at the 4 month mark! According to our weekly updates, the baby is the size of "an apple" right now. We can't wait to find out the gender at my 20 week appointment. My tummy is starting to show a bit and it's definitely time to get some new clothes. Last weekend Anna, Dario and Pablo (Tajalli's Mom, bro, and step-father) came to visit us. We had fun playing miniature golf, doing some sight seeing and showing them 2 homes that we just made offers on!

One of the homes we absolutely love. It's downtown Hayward (2nd pic) and is close to everything within walking distance. It's a 3 bedroom and 2 bath, with a huge yard and garage. Unfortunately, it's a short sale and the sellers are potentially trying to figure out financing so they don't have to sell. We have an offer in, but right now it's just a waiting game. :-(

We found another place in Oakland that is a brand new home (built by Pulte Homes) and it's huge (first pic)! 3 bedroom 2 1/2 baths and just a big enough yard for Bubba to enjoy. The neighborhood is not so great, but it's very enticing being in a brand new home. We have a deposit down and we're going to continue to pursue this while waiting on the other home.

It's very exciting to think about the possibilities of us owning our first home, but also very scary!

Timmy (Tim's nephew), who just graduated from high school just flew in last night from Chicago and is spending the week with us....more news to come soon.
