Changes coming our way

First I wanted to post very shortly about my dr's appt yesterday. It went very well (always does). I just love my OB doctor. Anyway, my blood pressure is normal range again, and my health was basically just great he said. I did gain a half a pound this last week, but that's neglible at this point he said. It's probably b/c the baby gained weight, not really me. The baby's heartrate was great as well, stayed in his normal range so that was good. He's really quite active so I wasn't worried about his health being great. The one thing we really did talk about was when am I gonna have this baby. :-) I explained what was happening in our lives right now... I will explain that later... and we decided that after he checks my cervix next week, if I have not had the baby then we would schedule a day to induce by. He said he feels comfortable inducing by my due date, which is Feb 28th. So I feel so much better knowing that I don't have to go past that magical date. He is a very understanding dr and was so sweet and gentle talking to me about all my stress and anxiety over having this baby. I felt like a blubbering, frumpy old mom sitting there crying and pouring out my concerns to him and he was so patient to listen and made me feel so much better. Thank the Lord for christian dr's and most importantly, mine! I thank God for him every day! :-)

Well we have other things to be thankful for lately too. I have waited to post this important information until both of our parents knew of it and we had more concrete news to tell. But... my husband's work may be transfering him back to OR. There are many wonderful opportunities in the Portland area for the Hilti market to grow. (Hilti is a the tool company that my husband works for) Anyway, he has talked with the guy who is in charge of the Hilti market and this guy, Van, has told him that he would love to have Jonny come up and help set up shops within a few Home Depot's in the Portland area. My husband had the opportunity to actually meet with Van in person yesterday and it seems that all the people involved with this transfer are on board with this move and Van is ready to have him come at the end of March or so. So we can't really say that it's a done deal I guess until we actually have the move orders, but we do have the word of my husband's boss here and from Portland guy, Van, that we will be getting this transfer. So to sum up... we will be moving back to the Portland area at the end of March or more likely April.

We don't have all the details of how this move will work or any other specific details about the work that my husband will do, but as all this information rolls into us we will keep you all updated. I know what you all are thinking... moving with a one month old infant and a 3 yr old will not be easy, we know that. We are actually fully aware of what we are walking into here, but we are trusting that the Lord is guiding us down this path and we are trusting that He is paving our way before us. The Lord has taken care of us in all of these situations in our past and He has always provided the perfect place for our transitions. We are going to continue to pray that the Lord will help us through this as well. We are very excited about this move and a little nervous at the same time. Please keep us in your prayers and thoughts as we navigate our way through this next month and a half. Thank you for all your support and love. Blessings to all.
