Finally!!!


Well after 2 years of being on the market we have finally sold our house. We have had to accept an offer for £20K less than we originally listed it for but at this point I DONT CARE. We are moving to a town called Sutton Coldfield Near Birmingham. Lee has accepted a job there. It isnt home but I am actually ok with that. With us expecting another baby I am pleased to be staying here where I can have it for FREE. Lee will be on a much better salary so we will likely be able to afford to come home a little more often. Plus with me still selling Pampered Chef again I am hopeful that I will be able to make a bit of money there doing it too.
I am still really sick. People are forever asking me if I am ok because I look so "pale". Im not ok but I know it will be worth it in the end. I am 11 weeks on Friday. Spencer was born in only 15 weeks time. Am I scared .... To DEATH!! Especially with the move, having to register with a new DR and midwife and all the stress that will happen over the next few weeks. but I am going to take it as easy as possible.
One more thing I dont want to ever foget at the moment. We had Kaylees Parents evening today. I dont know where Kaylee gets it but she is so clever. The teacher was explaining to me how every year they invite a few of the Y1 students to come in and take the Y2 stats, which are tests to show how well the children that age are doing (I think). Well Kaylee was invited in to take the test with the Y2 children and she scored the highest out of all the Y2 children and the Y1 children who were invited. the other Children in her class got 2C and 2D's (dont ask me what the grades mean) but Kaylee got a 2A. The teacher said that she is testing at a Year 3 level. That her reading, writing and maths are all at a Y3 level. I then told the teacher that we are moving and she was devistated. The schools really depend on a number of children to make the rest of their stats really good and even one less child makes a huge difference. Whatever school Kaylee goes to next is in for a real treat. Kaylee has pretty much a photographic memory. If you show her something once she will remember forever. I am so proud of her.
Right I think that is the latest update. Sorry not to be blogging more. Some things have to give and blogging has been my something lately! I will try to be better though!

I'm just slowly getting over my sickness. But you are right, it will be worth it in the end. I am going on 15 weeks. We find out April 5th what we are having so that is exciting. Our babies will be close in age, wish you lived closer so they could hang out. I hope to see you sooner than later. It has been forever since I have talked to you. I remember before we left for the summer I would catch you on emails at like 2 in the morning my time. :) Good times.. Hang in there.. We can do this together!!
