Well we are officially moved out of our house since Memorial Day weekend. We were hoping it would take one day to move all of our stuff out, but it took us three. Our storage shed is jamm packed and so is my poor mother in laws family room. The kids and I stayed at my inlaws the first week of June. That Saturday, my mother inlaw threw me and my sister in law a baby shower for family and friends on that side of town. I got LOTS of diapers. Yipee. I didn't really need any clothes so I requested diapers and wipes. I also got some really cute blankets that my sister in law made and Byron's grandma. 




I am now staying at my parents house. The kids love it outside and are outside almost all day, everyday. It has been rough not having a home of our own. Landen will make comments sometimes that he wants to go back home. I try to explain to him that we are living with grandma and that this is our home for a while, but he just says this is grandma's house. Then he will ask if daddy is coming home tonight and I say no, then he says where does daddy fall asleep. I tell him at his house in Flagstaff. It's so sad sometimes. The poor kids just don't really understand what is going on. We miss Byron terribly. It has been rough only seeing him on the weekends. And now we will only get to see him this Saturday for probably only half of the day cause he has to head to Phoenix. He fly's out to Ohio Sunday morning. So he doesnt even get to celebrate Father's Day with his children or wife. Sadness. He will be there until July 2nd. We are sure going to miss him lots and lots. 


Well I am 37 weeks now. I can't belive I am so close. With my other two kids, I had them a week early. But I am praying that I don't go early with this one. The earliest he can come is three days. Byron gets home late Friday so he won't be able to come up till the 3rd. I don't really want to have him on the 3rd, 4th, or 5th. Otherwise he will have to celebrate his birthday with the 4th of July. I know I don't really have a choice and he will come when he comes, but I can only hope. Right? My Dr. is pretty cool up here. The only problem is that he is very very busy. I guess things are run differently in the valley. With all of my kids I saw the nurse more than I saw the Dr. for all of my OB visits. With this baby I had seen my Queen Creek Dr. only once. I come up here and the Dr. see's all of his patients. The nurses just check your weight, and blood pressure. They do help out with a few other things too. So my first Dr. visit up here was HORRIFIC. My appt was at 10 am. I didn't get seen until 12:30!! Holy crap! My visits in QC were at most 30 minutes. Apparently, he had a delivery that morning so it put him behind schedule ALOT! Then the visit lasted over an hour. Since I was new, we talked in his office for awhile. Then since I was 36 weeks I had to get checked for Strep B. I was dialated to a 2 and he said my cervix was really thin. Then since I had placenta previa he wanted me to get an ultrasound to make sure my placenta was still up. And then since the ultrasound tech has never seen me before she wanted to get a look at the baby and measure everything. Oh my goodness! I was starving by this point. So I finally got out of there probably around 1:45. I had another appt today at 5:50. Who stays open that late? Luckily, I didn't have to wait too long this time. He was at the hospital with a delivery when I got there, but he was apparently on his way back. Good thing. I really didnt' want two bad experiences. He didn't check me today. Which is ok. I have heard that sometimes your cervix can dialate more after being checked. So since I don't want an early baby, I was ok with that. So we will have to see what next week brings. My appt is at 1:30, right after lunch break. So hopefully he won't be behind. We will see.

LOL! I am laughing at your doctor appointment story. Guess I should have warned ya about the way things go over at that office! I drive to the Holbrook office and get in and and out there in like 15 mintues. The Show Low office is much nicer but packed full most of the time. Never change out of your clothes in the exam room until you KNOW the doctor is ready to see you because of have sat there half naked for a LONG time before!
Let's get together soon!
Crazy times! I hope Byron makes it to the delivery. I am going to miss you being here in the valley :( But now have a good excuse to visit Flagstaff sometime :)
