Nervous

We found out on Friday that we didn't get the house we wanted.  Despite the fact that we really need to find a house, I wasn't too upset because the house was REALLY not my style.  But it did have a nice-sized yard.  There was another house that I had my eye on that came on the market last week, but the notes said that there was a tenant until the end of the month and it wasn't available to be seen until Monday (today).  At the time, there were no interior pictures, but the outside was very intriguing, it was an older house (built in the early 50s), in an awesome neighborhood, with a pool!  I figured out from google street view that it was only a one-car garage :( so that wasn't so promising, but it was way below everything else we're looking at in price, so we can afford to make some changes if we get it.

Saturday morning, before we were getting ready to go look at a few more houses (that I didn't have high hopes for), and I checked online just to see if anything new had popped up that we could go see while we were out.  Lo and behold, there were pictures of the house!  It looked vacant!  Our agent checked to see if the listing notes had changed, and it no longer said that we had to wait until Monday, so we quickly made an appointment to go see it.  For some reason, my husband and I both LOVED it.  It's definitely unique, and it DEFINITELY needs work.  But we put an offer in yesterday, and the seller's realtor said we should hear back sometime this morning.  I'm so nervous!  This is the first house we've found that we both really like, and we can afford to buy it and fix it up the way we want it.  Keep your fingers crossed!  My husband said not to do any kitchen research today so I don't jinx it.  It's so hard not to think about it, especially since we live in CA and tomorrow is a holiday so most of my coworkers took the day off.  I have no one to distract me from my thoughts.  Ugh.

In other, baby-related news.  We finished all of our tests this weekend except for my Pap smear.  I apparently forgot what day my dentist appointment was, and I accidentally scheduled my Pap smear for the exact same time.  When I realized my mistake and tried to reschedule, the doctor was booked for another week and a half.  Since I already had to wait two weeks for the first available appointment, I decided to try to change my dentist appointment instead.  Hopefully there will be another appointment available.
