2 year checkup!

Today Raegan had her 2 year check up with Dr. Freeman. I had been prepping her on her appointment since she had to have one shot. She kept calling Dr. Freeman, Dr. Pepper! Haha! Love that girl! Dr. Freeman is awesome and we never have to wait, which Raegan doesn't like because then she can't see the fishys. We got to go into the Princess room for her appointment. Dr. Freeman is beyond impressed with how great she is doing. She is healthy, happy, very advanced in gross motor and fine motor skills and her vocabulary is also very advanced for a 2 year old. She was telling Dr. Freeman about her birthday party. She told her that mommy made cupcakes and she got to blowout the candles and she got a bicycle. When Dr.F asked if she runs and jumps and can go up and down the stairs, Raegan said she jumps rope and then started jumping on the table. Dr. Freeman was more than impressed that she was wearing her big girl Minnie Mouse panties and that she has been potty trained for a couple of weeks. Dr Freeman said they not very many 2 year olds are potty trained or even close to be trained. Yay Raegan! She got an A+++ for her appointment.

Raegan is allowed to switch to 2% milk now and gets to starts taking Flintstone vitamins! After her 2 year old molars come in she will start going to the dentist. Fishers has a great Pediatric Dentist office!

We had to have Dr. Freeman fill out a form for her MDO program and then the nurse came in to give her a shot. She was suppose to have this shot at her 18m checkup but since she was sick for the first time ever, we waited for her 2 year appt. She sat on my lap and watch the nurse stick her thigh. I couldn't watch. She is tougher than me. The nurse then gave her a princess bandaid that she was very excited about and then Raegan blew the nurse a kiss! When we checked out she got a sticker of Backpack and Boots from Dora the Explorer.


Raegan's 2 year stats-

Height- 34 1/2 inches She has dropped from 97th percentile to 70th percentile. But she is still very tall
Weight- 27 lbs 8oz. She has moved up from 30th percentile to 60th. I was shocked by this. I didn't think she would be much more than 25 lbs. She doesn't eat very much. But she has gained less than a pound since May but Dr. Freeman wasn't concerned about that.
She still has a little peanut head. It is still in the 30th percentile.

Raegan is still rear facing in the car. The law is 2 years or the weight of the seat. Her seat is 45lb for RF. Ryan is ready to turn her around. I just dont think I am ready yet. Statistics show how much safer rear facing is. I just feel comfortable with her RF. Maybe this fall or winter I will be ready to turn her around. Maybe once winter is over!

As long as Raegan doesn't get sick we don't have to go back to the doctor until her 3 year checkup! Yay for a healthy and happy baby!

Officially SOLD!

After Ryan got home from work today we went to our lot and put the SOLD sign on. 13624 Van Buren Place is officially ours! Yay! Now we just need all the paperwork to process and we will break ground! I have a feeling we will be walking over there every day between now and Dec!

UNDER CONTRACT!!!!!

Yesterday, July 31, we signed and went under contract to build our house! I am so excited. This has been a long and stressful process. We have probably looked at 35 houses, between move in ready new builds, models, and previously owned houses that were less than 5 years old.

In the last week we decided it was between building in the neighborhood in Noblesville with Noblesville schools or stay in our neighborhood we are in now and build new, and stay in the HSE school system. We then narrowed it down to the 2 biggest floor plans each neighborhood had. The "Washington" in Noblesville is 3200 sq ft and the "Sizemore" in Fishers is just over 3500 sq ft. Both have 3 car garages, 4 bedrooms, 2 1/2 baths, upstairs loft, fireplace, hardwoods, granite, stainless steal appliances, separate tub and shower in master bath, ect. Washington starts at 193, Sizemore at 185.

Sunday morning we drove to the south east side of Indy to walk through the Washington model again. We then drove to Noblesville and drove through the neighborhood again. There was only 1 lot available for the Washington. When you build new the communities make sure that 2 houses with the same floor plan are not next to each other or across the street from one another. That left us with only one lot that was big enough for the house and not close to another Washington. I did't like the lot at all. It did not have a big yard at all and there was another house right behind you. No me gusta. I then made Ryan drive by the Noblesville Schools that our kids would go to if we lived there. Neither of us were impressed at all with what we saw. And they are not close to the house.

I then had Ryan drive by the HSE schools and by the FHS sports complex and we were both very impressed with everything we saw. We came home and looked over the Sizemore floor plan again. Ryan played around with it on his computer, added shutters, a third car garage, changed the color and we loved it!

We went and met with Lauren the new homes consultant and priced out the house with all of our upgrades and got an amazing deal. Last day of the month, end of the day= great time to buy a house! Score! We had to switch lots because if we wanted a 3rd car garage our house would be too big to fit on our lot of our choice that is just down the street from where we live now. We could literally watch the house being built from our driveway now. So we went and walked the lots and picked a new one on the other side of the neighborhood, and it has a huge yard! I am sad to leave our street and all the friends we've made here but looking forward to our new house!

Since I don't have any income my name is not on the contract for the house so Ryan got to spend forever signing all the papers and I entertained Raegan. She did so well playing by herself for the 3 hours we were there. She had fun looking through Miss Laurens books of all the different house. Ryan then had to write a nice big check to get the process started. By the time we left it was past dinner time and almost her bedtime, so as soon as the papers were signed we headed out the door. BUT, we forgot to get our SOLD sticker for the lot sign. Raegan and I went back this morning to pick it up. I can't wait to go back tonight and put it on!

As soon as all the paper work is finalized we will be breaking ground! It should be started by the middle to end of August and close in December! I hope we can close before Christmas! What a great Christmas present!
