For This Little One(s) We Prayed: We moved to Texas!!

So if you aren't friends with me in "real life" then I seriously left you hanging with my last post (so sorry about that!). Life has been crazy!!!! At the time that I last wrote, I was in the middle of my 39th week of pregnancy, and we had just decided to take a job offer in d.allas, texas that would require us to leave town in a few days. So at two days before my due date, we packed up our van with everything we could possibly need for the first few months and headed west to Texas. We found a birth center who would take us in at the last minute (literally as my first appointment with them was ON my due date), and we stayed in several different hotels that first week and half waiting for our cor.porate furnished apartment to be ready. We were also waiting for Miss Kate who was apparently not ready to join us. It was a difficult and fun two weeks with a lot of ups and downs and A LOT of crying from me. I will be the first to admit that I did not handle going over my due date well at all. I felt a ton of pressure to go into labor before Shaun started work, and it was hard waiting. A huge blessing though (God's timing is perfect!) is that we were able to get settled into our apartment before Kate came, and just the three of us were able to do all kinds of fun things to begin to learn our new city. And we ate soooo goood....thanks to per diem for eating out all week!! This was of course a very welcome change from not eating out at all and trying to eat incredibly cheap while Shaun didn't have a job. We loved getting to show Henry all kinds of new things, and he absolutely adored staying in a hotel etc. Birth story and pics of Kate coming soon...Here are a few pics from our first week in Texas:
