It's been a big week! Last Thursday (July 9) Greg's sister, Eileen, was brought to Norfolk General because of some complications in her pregnancy. I won't get in to all of the details here, but the end result was that her baby was born Monday morning, July 13th at 12 weeks early. She is so tiney. Mackenzie is in the NICU at CHKD in Norfolk, Eileen has been released after a few days in the hospital to start recovering from her surgery, and is staying at the Ronald McDonald house while the baby is still in the NICU. Mackenzie has so much personality, you just wouldn't believe it. She reacts to people touching her, knows her mommy's touch, and hates when the nurses don't warm the stethascope before putting it on her chest. The other thing she really hates is her tempature being taken- under her arm! She doesn't even know how bad it could be, hehe. We appreciate your prayers in this situation, as we know that's what will get everyone through it.
In case you were wondering, the offer on our house was pulled back before we reached an agreement becuase the buyer and his wife decided not to get a divorce... so he didn't need a condo to move to. Our first reaction was to call him and let him know that we had heard she had been sleeping around... I'm just kidding. We are happy for them and are still just waiting to see what God has in store for us and where we will be living. We are not planning to renew our contract with this agent in a couple of weeks when it comes up. We may put it on a free for sale by owner sites and see what happens.
I hope to update again soon! I'm still getting the hang of this blogging thing...

"Vacation"
We're leaving Friday for a kind-of-vacation. It's actually a conference for work, but there will be more free time than we have at home, and it will also be at a beautiful hotel with 2 pools and 15 feet from the beach, so it will be just a little bit vacation :) We are very excited. We are leaving early in the day on my birthday (yikes, when did I get to be a quarter of a century old!?) and having a nice family dinner that night to celebrate, then meetings and pool time until Wednesday! Then, it's only two weeks and a day until we go for the ultrasound! The baby is excited about this, too, because it knows we will stop calling it "it" when we have a more appropriate and descriptive personal pronoun available to us ;) .
Meanwhile, we got an offer on our house today! It was significantly lower than our asking price, but we countered with what we feel was a reasonable middle ground and we will just see what happens there.
And in other news, the cats may be moving back in for a couple of weeks while my parents have lots of company later this month. We will be excited to have them back! They came here when we put our house on the market so that people could come and go more easily and not have to worry about them getting out or potential buyers being allergic or the litter box offending anyone, but it will just be too crowded for them to stay while everyone is here.
Time to go make dinner!
