Water, Closing, Lights, Baby, and Snow

WATER
: Yesterday evening, around 5:15, I decided to refill the water jug and found that there was no water coming out of the faucet. Hmmmm....slight problem. I called both girls over to the valve for the water and asked if either of them had played with it. No, and no again. And, when I cranked it, it was already turned "on". Hmmmmm again. So, I did what any good sensible wife would do. I called my husband. Josh informed me that, upon the direction from the realtor of the buyers of our current house, the new buyers would be converting the city utilities bill to their names as of Feb. 28. Josh had cancelled our service as of Feb. 28, and unfortuantely, the new buyers DIDN'T take over the account. (There was slight miscommunication between the buyers and their realtor and the realtor and us. It's all straightened out now.) That left prego me and two small children without any water. I called the city, and they are supposed to be here today between 1:00 and 4:00 to turn the water back on. We all packed up and headed to my parents' house. Thanks for letting us crash at your house Mom and Dad! ...as an update, while I was typing up my blog the water guy came and we officially have water...praise the Lord!

CLOSING: The good news is that we closed on our current house this morning with no problems! Yay! Big step in the right direction. We'll be officially moving March 15-16.


LIGHTS: We have permanent lights in the new house! All of the can lights are installed in the kitchen, and there are several other lights installed as well. Josh and a guy from work spent several hours installing last night. Josh didn't get to my parents' house until after 1:00AM. But, there is light, and it is good!


BABY: I had an OB appointment today, and all was well. I have an appointment set up with my c-section doc on March 12, and we will officially schedule the c-section date during that appointment. My OB said that it may even be April 7 or 8. We'll see!


SNOW: It has snowed a lot here this week. The beginning of the week snow was outstanding for making snowmen....so we made one. The girls really enjoyed playing outside, and I even joined in the fun. Claire and I made the snowman while Meredith went sledding down the hill. Here are some pictures of the fun:
