Little bubby at 22 weeks!
The kids first rodeo downtown Nashville!
24 weeks prego!
Wow, it is hard to believe everything that has happened in our lives in the past two months. I first want to apologize about the blog not getting updated in forever!! In the December the week before Christmas we found out that Nolan was getting promoted to branch manager of the Nashville Tennesse Banker's Life & Casualty. How exciting, then they told us they wanted him to begin right away!! Ahhhhh!! Ok, we listed out house that week and flew for a short trip to check out the area and made it back for Christmas and new baby Will. Nolan started work already on January 4 and we were left back in Ankeny. While we hung back, we had lot's of house showings, made two trips, one to Postville and one to Avoca to say goodbyes. Dakota had his last day of Preschool, very sad day:( AND, we managed to go to the dentist and have perfect teeth:) I made it to all my doctors and got everything ready to transfer to TN.
We made the big move on Feb. 2 with my parents help. Nolan was in Vegas for work so my parents rode with us which made this trip go so fast. Sadi only had two outbursts at lasted maybe 20 minutes each. But the trip itself took about 12 1/2 hours and that was with 3 stops. Our townhome was not ready when we got there so we had to stay in a hotel that first nite with the kids and they were crazy from being cooped up in the car all day so you could about imagine!
We went with the realtor the next couple days and saw alot of homes, but nothing that I thought was worth showing Nolan. We ate downtown Nashville which only took about 20 minutes to get to and that was cool to see. My parents flew home on Saturday and we have been in our own little world every since.
Dakota starts soccer next week with 13 little boys who also have never played soccer and Nolan is an assistant coach and will heading practice next too!! And there first game is on March 13:) Dakota was pretty excited about his new ball, cleats, chin guards and socks:) Though Sadi enjoys kicking his ball around more then he does:)
We go to the library once a week for storytime which consists of songs, stories, and a craft at the end. Dakota and Sadi love and it is good to get them around other kids. I couldn't get Dakota back into spring pre-school because they were all full, but I did finally find a preschool for next fall that we are really happy about and they had just a couple openings left for Dakota's age group so I signed him and Sadi up for next fall already and I think Dakota is going to do some summer camps too!
We joined the YMCA, so we go there at least three times a week and Dakota gets to play in the play gym while a walk and Sadi gets to go in the nursery. They always leave happy and I always feel better after my walk.
After the first week of trying out doctors I have found a group that I am happy with, I will be delivery our little boy at Vanderbilt downtown. My OB office is in Brentwood which is really nice, and I only have one doctor who I like very much and my High Risk doc will be downtown and they will assist in my delivery if needed. But I see both of them every 2 weeks right now. So things are going really well, shots aren't hurting as bad, running out of skin to pitch because my belly is getting so tight, but the bruises are getting much smaller.
As for NOlan, he is a busy man that is really enjoying his new position as BOSS:) He has had some stressful moments don't get me wrong, but in the end he keeps letting me know how much he enjoys his new responsibilities and we are so very proud of him.
Our house somewhat sold!!! Yeah!!! We have excepted an offer pending the sale of their home and have another couple that put their house up for sale with hopes of selling theirs first so they can buy our home:) So things are looking good there. And we have put an offer on a house here, it is a short sale so the process could be a longer one, so we will see how that turns out!!
So lots of exciting news and I will promiss to keep the blog updated every couple weeks with photos and videos and the kids and our lives!! Miss you all and enjoy!
