24 week appointment

I had my 24 week appointment today, and everything came back great! Our little baby girl has a very strong heart beat at 150 beats per minute and my measurements were right on with where they should be. She will be here before we know it and I CAN'T wait to meet her :)
I also got the flu shot at this visit, which my arm is not thanking me for. It was good to get it out of the way, especially with all the germies hanging around work!
Well keep us in your prayers the next few days as we close on our home :) I have come to the decision that underwriters have kind of sad little lives. After going a week thinking we had been approved by underwriting they called today to let us know that we ARE approved but there is one contingency...they don't accept my reason for moving to north branch which is a ways from my work. The reason I had given was that the home prices were more affordable, thinking hhhhmmm how would they dispute that? Apparently that is not a good enough reason. They are fine with our finances, fine with income, fine with everything and apparently just want to make us wiggle until the last second. So after submitting a more acceptable reason for moving to north branch from eagan, they let me know they should hear something late tomorrow-----good thing since we close on the house first thing in the morning on friday!
My lender let me know there should be no problems, but we are sitting here squirming until we get the keys in our hands!

Love to all from Scott, Kayla and Skye!

Chaos!

So, life has been crazy and unfortunately I have not been good about posting about the happenings this summer. It has flown by so fast, and I can't believe that soon it will be fall and all the kids will be back in school-what?


We have had a pretty jam packed summer and have had a grand total of one...count it, one weekend home to relax! We have had so much fun though so that makes up for it! We have gotten to see Mr. Ty and Heather and Zac a few times this summer which has been crazy, he is growing so fast! We also went on a camping trip with our bible study to the Taylors Falls area. That was a great time with great friends, we came up with a menu prior to leaving and everyone brought ingredients, I don't think I have ever eaten so well...and definitely not while camping. Our menu ranged from bluberry pancakes slathered in berries and cool whip to hawiian chicken with yummy potatoes, it was a fun time! We also had our friend from high school's wedding to attend. It was gorgeous as was she!


We finally decided on a name for our sweet little girl-- Miss Skye ______ Brekke! We are still toying around with middle names! She is growing a ton, at least I believe she is because I wake up every morning and my belly looks bigger and bigger! She is kicking a lot too now, it is such and amazing feeling.


Well it may be a while until my next blog because next friday we are MOVING INTO OUR HOME!!!!! YAY!!!!! So not sure when we will hook up the internet and when we will have the time, I think we have quite a bit of work ahead of us...job number one...Skye's nursery just because I am way too excited!
