Well, I had a Dr. Apt. yesterday for ANOTHER ultra sound. I am on the "watch list" and have to get ultra sounds every 4 weeks...well after yesterday now I am on the "every week list". The good news is that Kade is no longer in the 95 percentile for everything...now he is between the 60's and 80's (well expect for his head that is now 91) The bad news is apparently I have WAY to much amniotic fluid. Basically he is swimming in a large pool...hey if you ask me I'd rather be swimming around then all cramped up, right? Next week if my levels don't go down I'll have to start seeing a specialist in Phoenix. Polyhydramnios (the name of the problem) could be signs of problems with the baby, or problems for the mother. I am hoping that it doesn't effect Kade in any way whatsoever and hopefully my levels just go down with time. My stomach is apparently measuring about 4 weeks further than I really am....hence the reason every asks when my twins are due. I did the worst thing by looking up online about this because it tells you every little thing that could go wrong. I am just going to try to stay positive and pray it's not a huge issue.
Next good news is that we are looking to buy a house! It has been so much fun and we feel so blessed that Nate got a great job at the hospital so that we can get into something. Although the housing market has been a nightmare for so many people in AZ....we are very lucky. Being a 1st time home buyer we qualify for the $8,000 tax credit. The houses are so beautiful and the prices have never been lower. The only bad news is that we finally found a house that we both just LOVED. It had only been on the market 1 day and we over bid on it. We thought we had a good chance of getting it...by the end of the day there were already 17 bids on the house, and 4 full cash offers. We will be lucky to scrape up a down payment...let alone purchase a house with cash! It is nice for the economy that there are crazy bidding wars going on, but we will be so darn lucky to get something...or will have to just settle with something that may not be our first pick. Our friends down here have way over bid on the asking price on 6 different houses and haven't gotten any of them. We bid on 2 more houses last night so maybe we'll get lucky on one!
I don't ever write in my journal anymore.... so I wanted to use this post to just get my thoughts down and vent a little. We have much to be grateful for...I am blessed to have such wonderful family and friends...Love you all :)

I am glad you shared all that! I have been thinking about you lately, I was just telling my friend at work about you today! Anyway good luck on the house, you will LOVE it! Hopefully Nate likes yard work, B hates it! Take it easy and tell little Kade to cooperate!
You can't buy a house there! That puts you one step closer to not coming back to SG and I don't like that idea! Although owning is definitely better than renting!
Hope everything goes well with Kade. Keep me posted!
We can't wait to meet little kade, and everything will be ok, he will just come out destined to be a little swimmer :)
We're all rooting for little Kade--keep us posted. Best of luck on the house search. We are struggling with the same issue, only ours is that my husband is so damn picky we'll never get into anything. Just remember this: your first home, isn't your final home (or at least that's what I keep trying to tell myself. It's not working very good). Keep us updated!
Michelle,
Take good care of your self my friend! That is weird that you measure so big cause I dont think you look big at all. I hope things will work out and you and baby are fine. We'll keep you in our prayers and for sure keep up the faith and Heavenly Father will watch over you and baby :) I love you!
Good luck searching for the house too! We are looking as well, but we're in the begining stages......so we dont know what we qualify for yet...but we're getting there. ITs a long slow process! Good luck with everything. I love ya! if you need anything or any advise, let me know! Cal anytime. Your the best!
Mich - I'm sorry to hear about the pregnancy complications. I know it will all work out though, so hang in there. Can't wait to see you soon....we'll compare our giant tummys! Love ya!
Sorry to hear about that! I'll keep you and Kade in my prayers. Good luck with the house hunt. You will love it!
Hey Mich, sounds like all is going well, I'm so excited that you guys are getting a house. The down payment was an issue with Seth and I also, but we bought a pardee home, and they have a program called the Nehmiah program that the builder pays for the down payment and the closing costs, the buyer just has to come up with the earnest money. Anyway we had no idea about this program and wished someone would have told us sooner. So maybe it could help you! Good luck on your house hunt!
I can't believe you guys are going to buy a house. Good luck with the house hunting. I hope things go well at the Dr. appt. We will keep you in our prayers.
