Wow, where to start?? Well we did find out that we are having a baby girl...so 2 girls and 2 boys, awesome!! Phoebe is so very excited for her new sister.
In June we took a 2 week excursion to Oklahoma and then to Houston, back to Oklahoma and then all the way back home. We stayed in Oklahoma a few days and saw family and friends then drove to Houston to see Denzil's family. Now we had only lived in Colorado for a year when we took this trip but we thought we were going to die from the hot weather in Oklahoma. When we went to Houston it was so much worse and we really don't know how people live there, or how we lived there for that matter. OH MY GOSH...it was really hot!! Talk about needing a shower at night and in the morning! We stayed in Houston for a few days and then drove back to Oklahoma. Unfortuntely we were involed in an accident in Houston. Some lady rear ended us when we were trying to turn left. It was almost $5000 damage to my van but it has majorly messed up mine and Denzil's backs. Him more than me but some days mines pretty bad. He's had 2 epidural steriod injections in his back in the last 2 months but neither one of them have came with any relief. I thank God that the kids weren't hurt at all but Phoebe still talks about the mean lady in Texas that hit our car. And I pray that when I have this baby that the back pain goes away!! It took Fin a few weeks to stop jumping and screaming and crying at load noises, which was horribly sad but at least he got over it. We had a great time seeing all our family and friends in Oklahoma and Texas!!
Our summer has ended and we had a good one! We went swimming a lot, more than I thought we would, went to the zoo, took a 2 week vacation, played outside a lot, went to parks, had picnics, etc. On to a new chapter and new routine, Phoebe started school in August. She's so adorable and loves school so much. She's doing great. Eliott will start school on his birthday in October because he has to be 3 in order to start but he's also doing great. Talking a lot more but no luck in potty training the stubborn kid. I'm waiting for him to just get it one day and I'm hoping it's before the baby gets here. Fin is getting big and he has such an awesome personality...Happy. We call him smiley a lot because he is just smiling all the time. I can't wait to see how different this one in my belly will be.
Just found out that all three kiddos will have to have surgery on their herniated belly buttons. I thought that at least Eliott's had grown back together but there's still a little hole there. Only 5% of the popluation have herniated belly buttons that don't grow together and all 3 of ours have them! Wow. What's the likliness that our 4th will have it too?? Fin's is so bad, a lot worse than Phoebe or Eliott's ever was, they are going to go ahead and do his. So next Friday we'll be at the hospital at 5:30 am to check in and then surgeries start at 7:30. We'll get all of them knocked out at once. Pray that they go well, the kids do great and the parents will survive too!!
I also failed my 1 hour glucose test to test for gestanational diabetes so I had to go on Saturday for a 3 hour test. They took my blood 4 times in 3 hours, yuck! It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be but drinking that nasty orange stuff just ruined my appetite for the rest of the day and made me feel yuck! Haven't gotten the results yet but should tomorrow.
Well it's bedtime now just wanted to give an update since I haven't blogged in so long.
