Can't wait till tomorrow!

Well in about 12 hours I will probably be in the pushing stage soon to meet the newest member of our family...WOW!! I can't believe it! It's such an amazing thing God does in our bodies by creating life, thank you God!!
So on Tuesday we'll have Fin, Wednesday we'll come home from the hospital, Friday is Phoebe's birthday and her and Eliott's checkups with the peditrician to get shots. Then on Saturday is Phoebe's birthday party at BounceU...I'm so glad we decided to pay the ridiculous amount of money to not have anything to worry about! That should be lots of fun for the kids. Then on Monday, Denzil has to go to Denver for their safety audits...so Fin will be less than a week old and I will be left with 3 kids...holy cow!! God please be with me! Denzil's official start date in Denver is June 9th but I'm not sure we'll be down there then. I think it just depends on the closing date on a new house, etc.
Hopefully while Denzil is in Denver he'll have some time to look at some houses and it would be really nice if he could find one and start the buying process but not sure if he'll even have time to look. But if he doesn't then probably over the Memorial Day weekend we'll be driving to Denver to look at houses and yes..with our 3 kids. There's no way we can leave 2 here with family and take Fin with us...we think that would just be bad on Phoebe & Eliott.
I had a great Mother's Day yesterday! It was busy but it was good. My mom came to church with us then we stopped and got something to eat and went to the zoo, hoping all the walking would put me in labor but nothing...darn! At about 4:30 we were in the children's petting zoo and Eliott was petting a goat when it decided Eliott's hand smelt good and turned around, put his whole hand in it's mouth and just started chewing on it, not nibbling, chewing and chewing. Eliott tried to pull it out but he couldn't and was screaming his head off. We thought it was just because it scared him so I handed him to Denzil, who was outside of the gate and got Phoebe and we walked out of the petting zoo part. When I got over there his finger was bleeding pretty good and all I had was hand sanitizer so I rubbed it all over it and we started for the front of the zoo. We went to the first aid place and we cleaned his finger off, put neosporin on it and a bandaid and called the peditrician office. They said that whenever a bite breaks the skin they want to see them. So we had to go to the Children's urgent care at St Francis on Mother's Day. We were in and out in 25 minutes and of course was no big deal but they wanted to make sure. And then we still made it to dinner with my dad & stepmom. So overall it was a good day. I'm still worn out from all the walking though.
The next time I post I will have a brand new baby!!!

It's Official!

Well went to the doctor today and I'm still 5cm dialated, no more progress. I've been off bed rest and walking around now for a week and nothing. So my doc scheduled my induction for Tuesday, May 13 at 7:30 am. Please pray that I go into labor before that!

And we have some new news that not everyone knows about just yet but has become official this week. Within the next month or so we will be moving to Denver, Colorado!! It's a definte big change for us and so much to deal with all at once with Fineas being delivered in the next 5 days, Phoebe's birthday on the 16th and her birthday party at Bounce U on the 17th and now a move 700 miles away. Away from all my family and the great friends I have here but it's not like we won't be back to visit everyone. Denzil has been offered a job with the same company, Anheuser-Busch and it's a great opportunity. We are very excited and looking forward to it. We told my Dad & stepmom tonight and they were really happy for us and seemed just as excited as we were. Wasn't really expecting that...we were more expecting them to be sad but they were both really happy and the first thing my Dad said was "Cool!" So that made me feel really good. I told my Mom yesterday at lunch and that on the other hand didn't go so well but hopefully she'll come around to accepting it and be happy for us. Denzil has a start date of June 9th but we're not sure if the kids and I will stay here until we close on a house there so we won't have to move to temporary housing and then to another house or what? We haven't heard from the relocation specialists yet so we can't put our house on the market or any of that yet. And obviously since I'm still pregnant and could go into labor anytime we can't go to Denver to look at houses like a normal couple could!
Well it's way past bedtime so this will be it for today-
