The outside complete! Landscaping and grass to be done this weekend! A real driveway and a garage!!!

As you can see Scott did an amazing job renovating our house! I love it! It feels huge and is everything I hoped for! With laminate flooring in all 4 bedrooms and newly carpeted family room and hall ways. A new double sink bathroom for the girls and other future kiddos. A new huge garage and wonderful front porch! It is all wonderful! Here are some pictures to give you a look, but I will say pictures just dont do it justice! I cant wait for Scott's 30th bday party and open house to show off Scott's hard work. Best of all he finished right in time for Caleb or Karly to arrive! We are so truly blessed in case you did not know!

No more CRV!

Well with the addition of baby #3 we had to finally sell our beautiful 43,000 mile CRV. It was very hard to do. We actually tried everything to fit 3 carseats in the back but our middle seat is only a half seat. No matter what we did a third wasnt going to fit. We had no one coming to look at it probably because of the cost. Who has 14,500 sitting around? We did have someone offer us 11,000 but we said heck no! We kept the thing in perfect condition and werent desperate! We knew God would come through in time. Well last week we finally had a couple come look and said by Friday they would call with an offer and would have to get financing. But that night after they left we received a call from an older man who wanted the CRV the next day and would pay cash not even caring if he saw it. He did decide to look and drove it for less than 10 min and then said it was sold for 14,500! He said it was exactly what he was looking for and couldnt believe how nice we kept it with two little ones. So by Friday we had cash in hands and no more CRV. We were happy to have one step down and one step to go (find a van!) We started looking seriously and after coming across two scammers we bought a van by Monday everning! Pretty crazy! We never thought we would find one that quickly for such an awesome price! Because of scott having his own business we found out we cannot refinance our home mortgage with the loan for the renovating which made us very unhappy. So we decided once we sold the CRV we would take as much from that to put toward the renovating loan. Not our original plan but we decided we didnt have to have quite as nice a vehicle we had before. Instead we would buy a higher milage van and maybe not a Honda Oddessey since they are a bit higher. All that to say we found a very nice Oldsmobile EX 2001 for 2600!! It is in very good condition. After less than $1000 in repairs and a good carpet cleaning it will be perfect for our family. It is so nice that Scott can do most of the repairs himself! The family just wanted to get rid of it and only owed a little bit more so they didnt care what they got for it. As long as it was out of their driveway they were happy. The thing I love most is 4 captain chairs in the back instead of a big back seat. So now we can take any of the seats out and only loose one spot! It has leather heated seats and buttons for everything! Radio listening in the back and heat and air control in the back. Pretty nice deal!! Once again God provided for the Moon family! We are so very blessed and sometimes I just dont understand why!

Sickness!

As soon as I got off of bedrest the girls got their first (Fall?) cold in Aug! It was the full blown cough and runny nose with fever. Of course coughing for Bekah is a big ordeal because it always results in wheezing. I hate using the nebulizer and Im pretty sure she hates it too! After many visits to the dr we were finally able to find the right steriods for help her airways and the right antibiotic. Ryan also had trouble getting rid of her cough but once the dr finally gave her an antibiotic she was better in a couple days. Sometimes I hate that it takes 2 visits and 10 days of suffering before the Dr will give them anything! It makes for a long 2 1/2 weeks for us!!! Last monday though we finally had two healthy girls. But then one week later this last Sat Bekah woke up with yet another cold! Scott and I felt so bad for her. So of course by Monday morning Ryan was also sick. We thought maybe this cold wasnt going to be accompanied by a cough but Bekah has started coughing today. We will see what happens with that. Sometimes I just dont understand why my girls catch everything. We hadnt even taken them anywhere bc Im a firm believer in waiting until they are completely better. (I wish all moms would stick to this!) Anyway, for some reason my girls are prone to colds but we will survive it. Life could be much worse! At least we can play outside this time of year when they have colds. The winter is when it is excruciating!

I dont keep up very well!

Im not a big fan of writing so I go forever without updating and then make up for the lost month with 5 posts in one day! So here we go! For those of you who dont already know I have been off of bedrest for a couple weeks now and it has been amazing! When you loose your freedom and regain it you feel like a millionaire! I was so excited to be able to take care of my girls again on my own. The only rules the doctor gave was to not overdue myself and to not do any housework. Wow no housework! I love it! So when I cant take the house anymore I call Pam (mother in law) and she comes over and catches everything up. Right now I really have the life! Well that is if you forget about the stress that can come with worrying about the little one in your tummy who sometimes thinks it is ready to make an early appearance. I am still taking medicine every 4-6 hours to help keep the contractions to a minimum. So far taking it easy and taking terbutaline have worked well. Im still not dialating which amazes my dr every week. I have days with very few contractions and other days I will have them every 5 min. As long as I dont start dialating I can stay off bedrest. I go every Friday to be checked and determine if my freedom stays or goes. Im so thankful the Lord changed the direction of this pregnancy. It really looks like I will make it past 37 weeks which would be great. Scott and I would like to make it to 38 weeks which is Sept 20! Less than 3 weeks! Time is flying! Sept 18 is my bday which would be the coolest bday ever to have a baby but a full 38 weeks is always better for the baby! I cant believe I will have a very tiny one again in a couple weeks! Im very excited to hold Caleb or Karly but at the same time I wish time would just slow down. Ive truly enjoyed this summer with the girls and the simplicity of a toddler and preschooler to a newborn. If you know what I mean! But there really isnt anything compared to holding a newborn!
