The White House
The Bennetts now reside in the White House... or a white house anyway! ha!
Recently, Grant and I sold our house and purchased a foreclosure. It's a little white cottage just off Cobbs Ford Road (Exit 179) in Prattville. It's the cutest thing! It has a screened in front porch, a sun room off the back and hardwood floors. It wasn't in the best condition when we got it, but we got a really good deal on it and repainted, did new floors and cleaned like there was no tomorrow. It's a half mile from Publix, which I love and a half mile from Bass Pro Shops, which Grant loves! It still feels like it's in the country though... which my Dad loves. LOL.
In the mean time between homes, we lived it up like rockstars in the Hometown Suites - an extended stay hotel in Prattville. Boy was Dixie ever glad to get a new home where she didn't have to have a leash to potty!! It took about a month for all the renovations and a lot of help from our family with the cleaning and moving. We are in there now though and almost completely settled. I'm enjoying getting Paxton's room together and having the best time making up his little baby bed, hanging little clothes on little hangers and sitting in the glider with the tv on in his room getting ready for all those late night feedings!!

It's a Boy... but you already knew that.

I am the worst blogger ever!
I'm 25 weeks along and still feeling really good. My belly has really popped out there and strangers now ask me when my baby is due, so there's no hiding it or keeping them guessing anymore. It's been quite the adventure watching my body change so much. There have certainly been ups and downs. It's very exciting seeing my tummy grow and knowing that I have a precious little boy in there, but it's also been a little depressing seeing the numbers go up on the scale. I know weigh more than I have ever weighed in my life. Guess I couldn't make it through the whole pregnancy and only gain 10 lbs, huh? ha!
We've sold our house to get something cheaper (aka smaller). I'm going to be spending more time at home with the baby and taking on a reduced schedule so we were looking to get something more affordable. We sold our house in Grand Oaks and purchased a house under foreclosure near the Bass Pros Shop in Prattville. During the renovations, we lived in a hotel. We are officially moved in the new house and checked out of the hotel on Sunday. Things are really starting to come together.
I promise to post some pictures of the house, my big belly, the sonograms and the baby's room in the near future. So much happening these days!!
