And soon we'll be 5

Well tomorrow morning at 8:00am I am having my c-section. It's still strange to me to have a scheduled time to go to the hospital, but it's very nice in the planning. My baby room is still not ready but I am hoping it will be done by time Sophia and I come home from the hospital. We are waiting on a piece for our changing table that was damaged. Everyone is excited and waiting. It's nice to be home in Cincinnati with my family this time. Justin's parents are keeping the kids most of the week and my mom will be with me some at the hospital. All my friends here are excited about being here for the birth of one of my kids. Although I miss all my friends in Vegas who have been there for the birth of my first two.

I'm a little nervous about being out of the office at our church. There is just so much going on right now. Our pastor, Dave, my boss is in the hospital recovering from having his spleen removed last wednesday. He was officially diagnoised with Lymphoma and the found it all to be in his spleen. When they removed his spleen it was the size of a football. Yes it was just a bit enlarged. He's been running fevers still and they are not sure what is causing them. We have several men in our church who have stepped up and are taking over the things Dave normally does since he will be out till mid August. It's been great to watch how our church is responding to all of this. Several ladies are covering for me while I am out of the office. It makes me feel better knowing that there is someone here watching the phones for me and someone else to take care of the bulletins for me. I might actually try to not worry about things here.

20 days and counting

In 20 days I will give birth to our 3rd child. What was I thinking?? I go from being very happy one minute to FREAKING OUT the next. I love my kids but they are a handful and now I am adding another child to the mix. Well there's no turning back now. On June 28 at 8:00am I will have my 3rd c-section. Our church here is giving me a shower this Sunday. I love baby showers. We are in the middle of a small baby boom for our church. There are 4 of us pregnant and due between now and the end of September. Two of us are Jenn's and two are Stephanie's. My sister Stephanie is due in late September and she just found out she's having a boy.

My boss Dave who is our pastor here is in the hospital. He has an enlarged colon and spleen. He's in his late 30's and has some other health issues, but doesn't take good enough care of himself. He doesn't stop ever. He won't say no to you even when he should. I love my boss he is a great guy and I am very lucky to work for him. If you could just pray for him and his family that would be great. His wife's name is Lisa and he has 2 son's. Spencer is 13 and Taylor is 8.

Justin is finally getting moved to a store closer to us. He's been working at the Donatos in West Chester about 45 minutes to an hour from us depending on traffic. They are finally going to move him to the Amelia store which is about 10 minutes from us. This is such a blessing for us. He starts there after his week off after I have Sophia. He is very excited about moving to a store that is closer. We'll be able to go up and eat there and see him in the evenings more often.

Life keeps going and I keep trying to go with it.
