I am feeling significantly better today – not good, but a hell of a lot better than yesterday.  This is the thing with morning sickness.  It is constant, but some days are better than others.  It is sometimes hard to remember that on the bad days.

We had a look at a house we quite liked today, here:

http://www.redfin.com/WA/Bellevue/16528-SE-46th-St-98006/home/236080

It’s listed for 715K.  Built 1990, 2400 square feet, 4 beds, 2.5 baths, 0.46 acre lot.  It’s not perfect.  The road is not exactly busy, but not as quiet as I’d like.  It’s certainly not the cul de sac we live on now.  The houses behind it are not as nice.  Given our neighbors troubles with the law in our current location, I’m quite paranoid about neighborhoods these days.  On the plus side, the elementary school is rated 10 and within walking distance.  The master bedroom is lovely.  The other 3 bedrooms are small but certainly adequate.  I like the size 2400 square feet.  Bigger feels like more than I can handle, but smaller feels a bit cramped given our regular visitors and the fact B works from home.

The bathroom is ridiculous – like at a fancy hotel.  I love it.  It’s sad and kind of ridiculous, but when I see bathrooms these days, I just think of being sick, since that’s what I do in mine so often these days.  Pathetic, I know.

Anyway, it’ll no doubt go for more than 715K, which is near the upper end of our price range, so I’m torn about whether to put an offer on it.  The agent advised us to preinspect, which is probably a $400 – 500 investment.  B is very frustrated by our difficulties finding a house and thinks I am too picky.  I am getting impatient as well but am terrified of making such a huge investment in a place that we don’t like.
