growing pains

On the night that I ended up going into labour, we put our first offer in on a house. Sofie was 6 days overdue and I was sure we still had another long week ahead of us with no baby. So it seemed reasonable to try to buy our first house. Naturally. After inspections and lots of back and forths with a 4 day old baby, that offer eventually fell apart. I wish I had been keeping track of how many times since then Sofie has gone to look at houses. She's kind of a pro now. I'm not sure if anyone else is trying to buy in Halifax right now but it is crazy. We've been outbid on every offer we've made, and every property we've seen has sold over asking, usually with multiple offers on them. It's a bit discouraging, to say the least. We're just looking for a place for this girl. Even though I know she'll be happy and amazing no matter where she is.

Wish us luck tonight!
