It's Happening!
With only nine weeks to go til the new Lomonaco comes, we are planning a move. The dream house purchase has come together and we are now just awaiting our financing. It will probably be ours in the next month or so. Hopefully we can be in and somewhat settled before the baby arrives. Check out the new place here and notice that it says "Sale Pending." Anyone into painting? We sure could use some help!!

Finish This
You know it's going to be a bad day when...
you pee on your hand when collecting your urine sample at the doctors office.
This, sadly, actually happended to me today. And I was just getting cocky at how expert I was at peeing into tiny containers.
What a pisser!

The Waiting Game
We are in a season of waiting right now. 9.5 more weeks to wait for the new little Lomonaco to officially join our family. Actually, this is starting to freak me out. How can I handle a newborn while also taking care of a toddler?! Eeeeeek! And we don't even have Lucas' new big boy furniture or baby clothes ready, etc. etc. This is ok to wait for. Take your time, #2.
Another day or so until we know for sure if the sellers have both accepted our offer on the new place (we had a verbal acceptance but nothing in writting as of yet). I don't like the suspense. I am ready to know what is in store for our life, the future. I feel so in limbo and uncertain of what our upcoming weeks, months will be like. Let us know already!!

Friendship Over?
I've recently made a new friend. Or at least I've met someone who I think could eventually become a good friend. Eun (pronounced Ooon) is a new lady in town, goes to our church with her husband and is a stay at home mom of two young boys (the youngest is Lucas' age). She kind of reminds me of my dear friend Lina from Orlando, whom I miss greatly. Anyway, I was talking to Eun on the phone this afternoon planning our first playdate when her oldest son started having a scream fest meltdown. She had to quickly go and I said, "Goodbye Loon" instead of Eun. Total accident, slip of the tongue. I hope that this friendship isn't over before it starts. We'll see if she shows up on Friday or not.

From the Mouth of Babes
I've been humored by comments from out-spoken children about my growing middle.
Sassy, 4-year-old: Why is your stomach so fa...(pausing to think of a nicer word) big?
11-year-old neighbor boy in disbelief: You're pregnant AGAIN?!
Wide eyed, 7-year-old girl in my VBS group: Do you have a balloon under your shirt?

Sabbath Rest
I think that as a Christian, I am definitely more on the liberal side of my Bible understanding and interpretations, in that I don't consider myself a "legalistic" person when it comes to my faith and beliefs. My understanding is that when Christ came to earth and died on the cross, he did away with the old law and brought about the new covenant.
What exactly does this mean or look like? Are the 10 Commandments now null and void? I know that Jesus reinforced some, but not all of them in the New Testament. The one that I am specifically interested in is "Remember the Sabbath and keep it holy." Any thoughts on what this day should look like? Is it ok to go to the mall or do housework on this day of rest? As a mom, I can never really stop working or doing my normal job on this day. I also believe that it is God's best for us to take a day off, but is this a requirement?

Blupdates
I am home. Everything went fine while I was away. My trip was nice, but I was super glad to be back in swealtering Sacramento. Actually it was much cooler at home than back east, but by the weekend it heated up to the 100's again. It's hard to be hugely pregnant here in the summer. I almost passed out while blackberry picking today. We've got to better plan the next pregnancy around the cooler seasons;-).
The dream house is getting closer to becoming a reality. The seller dropped the price by $50,000 and we pounced on it this week. We had to. It is just 50K more than what we think that we can get for our house and is double the size. Our current one will be pretty small with the new baby. He accepted our offer and now we just have to get the financing figured out (it will involve owning both homes at once while trying to sell our current one). Pretty scary yet exciting. We are praying that we won't do anything that we absolutely can't afford and that the crazy financing will actually work out. And I am trying to do this potential move/house on the market thing at 28 weeks pregnant (12 more to go til the new little Lomonaco joins us) while also taking care of an active toddler. I can't wait to get through this and hopefully live to tell about it.
