updates on pregnancy, moving, life

last week i felt good.. surprisingly good actually for being 37 weeks pregnant. In fact I was thinking this baby must be coming late because you always feel like you couldn't possibly be more miserable a good week before the baby makes an entrance. Well I am now in that boat. This week has been awful. Starting wed i got some nasty virus with diarrhea and projectile vomiting. After a whole night of this I tried to drink a sip of water at 5 am that resulted in vomiting and ten minutes of violent dry heaving so much so that i broke blood vessels in my face. Now sporting some new red freckles i finally called in to my midwife and she told me to head up for some fluids and to check baby. Once there at 6 am and hooked up to the IV i was given some phenegren (sp?) for the nausea... ahhhhh sweet relief. At which point i also wondered why i didn't go up sooner! Since then I have been nauseated a bit, but mostly weak and tired. My whole body aches and I just want the baby OUT. Last night in the bed i was so uncomfortable and had to have Cory help me roll over because my hips have separated and i cant maneuver myself anymore. Its really quite pathetic. So now that I have entered the " I cant stand to be pregnant one more day" phase i hope the baby comes out in a week or so... You also know you are ready to have the baby when you think about all that labor is and how much it hurts and is awful and you STILL would rather do it then stay pregnant. With my long marathon labors that is saying alot. I have a NST on Monday to check on baby, and again on wed with a midwife apt too. Will let you know if anything happens.

Now onto the next part of my life that is giving me anxiety and stress. Cory got the letter from the FAA and the position is in Midland Texas. Where you ask?? Well its in west Texas halfway between El paso and Fort Worth.

If you ever saw the movie Friday night lights it was filmed there, as well as based on their high school football. Its a dryer climate, but still hot most of the year. I don't know much else about it really. Cory has been busy trying to get all the background paperwork done as well as the tests. He has already don't the drug test, and on Monday is his medical. Already did the fingerprint cards and other paperwork needed. Assuming he passes all these he will be getting a final offer letter with his start date at the academy in Oklahoma. We know this will last 3 months based on the facility he is going to. The kids and I would go with him to Oklahoma and then strait from there to Texas afterwards. From what i can find online it looks like he will be going in September.. but it all depends on how long they take to do his back ground. More info on this all if he gets hired. No use in boring you all with every detail i have learned from scouring the internet ( well not yet anyways!)

I am excited for the job opportunity, and even to go and live somewhere new and for the adventure that will be. I am dreading selling our house. We have only lived here one year. Housing prices have not gone up at all since we bought and the market is real slow right now. Which means we don't have any equity to pay for things like a realtor or the buyers closing costs or anything. In fact last year when we bought we payed our whole closing costs ourselves.. but based on the people that are selling now in our neighborhood, I guess buyers expect you to pay some if not all of it now. Not sure how this is going to work... but i am hoping we can sell this house without ending up it 10,000 of debt! With the expensive move to another state I just dont want to dig us into a deep hole of debt.. ugh!

Of course i keep telling myself not to panic.. as we are not positively moving yet. And I am 9 months pregnant so everything seems so overwhelming right now. I am trying to just think about the baby and nothing else till after the birth.
