Life since my last post

Life has been seriously crazy since my last post along with a increasingly massive belly. I am almost 26 weeks and it is hard to believe time has gone by this fast. Joe has the bath room almost complete and getting excited to have that back, I have also painted the baby room juicy cantaloupe which is so not the same as the brick red but it works for the little one. Morgan is still the fabulous black lab that I absolutely adore and the GP are loving life in there cage. However there have been some slight misfortunes that we are working through. Last Saturday Nov 20 at about 7:30 p.m. we had to call 911 as our house was on FIRE!!!! It was a typical Saturday, I spent all day cleaning up what I call the stuffed animal war zone and neaten up the house. Joe drove out to his dad's for fire wood and such. He got home early evening just in time to start a fire in our wood burning fire place and I was curled up on the couch reading Husband coached-child birth. We ordered Jet's Pizza and drove over to pick it up Morgan came along as she loves car rides. We ate and just relaxing. My phone rang as it was my brother John asking questions about life insurance exams. We were talking and a breaker blew and thinking nothing of it I yell down the stairs to Joe and turned off a couple lights. He tried filling it a few time with no success. Up he can, I was still on the phone as we were looking in the living room the sconce around the light above the fire place was glowing and melting. I yelled at Joe to get the fire extinguisher out of the front closet. At this point I was getting off the phone with my brother. Joe popped a hole in the sconce shooting some stuff up there. When then ran out side to figure out what was going on. Tons of black smoke was pouring out of our roof. We ran back in and Joe popped up into the attic and use up the rest of the extinguisher. He comes down and I am asking him if it is out or if I should be calling 911. He advises me to call, I advise the young lady on the line our situation and she asked if have exited our home and I said well not yet... at this point not a single smoke detector is going off and there is not a drop of smoke in the house. I tell Joe we need to get in the car. I grab my purse, lap top and charger, car keys and the garage door opener. Joe grab our jackets and out the door we go. Joe, Morgan and myself... leaving behind the G pigs. The fire fighters show up about 5 minutes after the call and shortly later the flames are coming out of our roof. However, the fire fighters did save the G- pigs... poor babies. After what seemed like for ever and every neighbor has come out on this freezing night the fire is out. Just shortly before the freezing rain shows up. My family was nothing but supportive when My brother called everyone and advised them to drive to my house for support... even my Grandparents showed up to watch the horror. Our poor house... first a foreclosed nightmare to a charred mess. It was so said to watch our past year of hard be destroyed, right before the holidays and shortly before we have our first kid. There are many reasons we are lucky even though our current residence is my parent basement but the most is to have such loving families and friends. Hoping for a quick 60-90 days!!
