So Talmage just finished his two week Air Force tour this last Sunday. He was in Georgia for a week and then Florida for a week. The second week was much like being deployed. They lived in tents and ate MREs.I went up to Prescott that last week with mom. The week before Talmage's mom had the kids. They both have been a really big help since I still am healing from the C-section and can't lift that much weight.
We were suppose to move to Austin in about a week and a half but they pushed the date back. We don't have a definite date but will soon. Right now my guess is probably late March or early April. But for now we still need to get a renter and I am sure the Lord will provide. I am sure things will fall into place.Olive, Heber and Hannah are all growing like weeds. Heber and Hannah are getting better at talking. Hannah is a little further along with it. She is getting sentences out. Short sentences. Olive is getting chubbier and cuter.All and all life is good and we are doing great.

Nope not a mom of three yet. She is still in me. I thought a couple times that she might come but still nothing. Worse news is that she is now breech, meaning her head is up and her feet are down. Because of her size and such they want to do a C section. I am scheduled to go into the hospital tomorrow at 6 am. I have been hoping and praying that she turns but either way I will have a sweet baby in my arms by tomorrow morning.

(I am really trying not to be disappointed about not having an all natural birth. I have been hoping to go into labor naturally before Friday which was my original induction date.)

And Yet Another Prego Update

Yes, I am still pregnant. So I got to go to my sister's wedding. It was a beautiful experience and I am so happy that I got to witness it. That night at the wedding dinner I started having mild contractions. We went home and went to sleep. I woke up around 2:00 am with mild, steady contractions that were 3 minutes apart. I went for a walk with Talmage and then we went to the hospital. Walked some more and then checked in. My sister and brother were at home watching the Heber and Hannah
My contractions where long enough but grew farther apart and less consistent, 4 to 7 minutes apart. . They didn't grow stronger. They sent us home. That was good because I was getting so tired and really wanted to go to sleep
I had a couple strong contractions after getting home. I had mild contractions all day long about 7 to 15 minutes apart. After sitting around all day I was getting so mentally exhausted from just waiting and doing nothing. I decided to go to my sister's reception. While there, I swing danced, walked, skipped, hopped around the church building and climbed a small hill or two.
On the way home, I had a few strong contractions and was hopeful that I would be having the baby that night.
When I woke up the next morning I felt so good and rested. I had no contractions. Decided to go to church. After church we went and visited a couple of different friends in our neighborhood. Talmage rubbed my feet in the pressure point spots that induce labor. I had some contractions but then nothing.
I was so mentally exhausted from so much anticipation. I am so anxious to have my little girl and can't wait to see her.
This morning we went to the doctors office and they stripped my membranes. (Talmage and I both hate how that sounds). I've had cramps, but no contractions. Now I am just cleaning and waiting but feel calm and hopeful, not as antsy as I was feeling yesterday and the day before.
