A new baby on Friday!

I think just about everyone knows by now, but if you haven't heard the marvelous news here ya go, I will be induced on Friday February 19!!! I don't really want to be induced, I'd rather Dallin come when he's good and ready. I feel that often times if you induce labor you'll have to labor longer than if your body was really ready. Anyway, since my husband is 15hrs away we could only ensure that he'd be here for the joyous event if I were induced. I was scheduled for 6am on the 19 until yesterday afternoon when I received a phone call from the Dr. office informing me that my time had been bumped up to 5am :-O on the 19th. It sucks, but at least we got to keep the date the same. Kenneth will be home tomorrow, Feb. 18 at 9pm and I can't wait to see him! It's almost been two months since we saw one another and that's just crazy! Anyway, we'll be able to see one another very soon and then have 5days together before he heads back. He's only allowed 3days off so that's why we chose the 19th, it's a Friday so he'll get the weekend too. The girls are SO excited about seeing him.

I had a Dr. appt this morning and I am still 2cm dilated and 50% efaced. I thought for sure I had progressed more from last wk with all of the contractions I've been having, but to no avail. Oh well. It's better than nothing. I'm just praying my body will progress more before 5am on Friday. She said my cervix is very soft and that he's dropped more since last week, so that's positive at least.

Well I feel like a horrible mother. It snowed almost 7in at my house and I don't have not one picture of the snow, or my children playing in it. Why you ask...because I was moving! That's right, last Friday my dad met me and we went to the U-haul place and he drove the 24' truck to the house as I followed behind him in my car, in the pouring snow. I must say I have never been so scared in all my life. I slid the whole way home, and so did dad in that big huge truck. I prayed all the way home and made the girls sing primary songs all the way. lol. It made me feel better. I was thinking that the roads would be just as bad Sat. morning so I wasn't expecting a big turn out for help moving. I wasn't at all upset about that thought. If it was gonna be as bad Sat. as it was Friday night I was more comfortable with no one showing up so that I wouldn't be endangering anyone's safety. But to my surprise there was a big turn out of helpers and the roads were SO much better. I have the MOST awesome elders quorom presidency, and ward for that matter. A HUGE thank you to the Steve Mejia, Kenny Whetstone, Jeff Webster, Ashley Rowe, Mike Campbell, Dan Chambless and his two oldest boys, Bro. Peck, Denise Campbell, Noel and Aubrey Cottrell, Brenda Nininger, Jessica Castle, and Morgan Webster. I could NOT have moved or gone to Dr. Appts. without all of your help. I know I'm probably forgetting tons of others, I have it written down somewhere. Anyway thank you to everyone and to everyone's spouse. I appreciate you supporting your spouse to do service for a helpless pregnant lady. May the Lord bless you and your families. We hit a few bumps on Sat. with the storage unit, but got it taken care of just in time. I am now living with my mom in Columbia. I have to say I never thought I'd be living with one of my parents again after I got married. Actually I vowed I would never do such a thing. LOL! But here I am with the girls and it's been great. Mom has been a HUGE help with the girls and making me relax. Sometimes only mama knows how to fix things and make it all seem like it will be okay. Unfortunately we aren't sleeping very well. For starters mom and I can't seem to shut up at night to go to bed because we're too busy talking. Jade has been steadily waking up EVERY morning at 5am, I'm guessing for more Tylenol. She's getting those last molars and she's either congested, or her nose is running. The girls are sharing a room for the first time and they aparently like to talk too, especially Jade to Ashlyn. We hear a lot of "I want out Ashyn." lol. I'm too pregnant to sleep restfully, so all combined together we are one tired bunch. My poor mom has to get up to go to work every morning. We are praying that they will adjust soon to the new arrangements and sleep like they used to. Well I think that's all of the updates for now. Be watching for Dallin Roam baby pics soon. A friend will be by to get some shots of him and post them for everyone to share in our joy. =D Love to all and wish us good luck!
