We survived the move to Texas!

We have been in Texas about a month now. It was a really rough move with the boys, and me being pregnant with Iyla(yes we have a name!) It feels really good to be home, but I wish Derek could have actually stayed with us here and not had to have gone back to Georgia to finish up some work stuff, and go to the shooting range in SC. The boys and I have been staying with my parents, it just works better so im not alone in Waco being pregnant. My dad helps me alot, since he is home. which Ive just been so tired from the move. My parents have willingly been traveling with me back and forth from Waco, about 1x a week to help with unpacking and my OB appointments. Which wasnt easy finding an OB that I felt comfortable with. I did find a great Lupus dr, but both my OB and her are in Temple which is still a good 30min drive from our Waco house. I was so distraught about the whole process, that Derek and I were considering paying out of pocket for a birthing center. Now that I feel comfortable where we are at, I think I may still hire a doula to help me carry out my wishes of a natural birth this go around, with no medical interventions like pitocin, epidural, bath for newborn, etc. So back to Iyla Ray, ever since we found out we were having a girl we have been showered with gifts! Her little closet is already full, and we really only need big things like carseat, swing, and lots of cloth diapers! And instead of doing a traditional baby shower, im inviting close friends and family to do Painting with a twist for something different and fun! Im excited about everything, and anxious for Derek to get back to Texas and make our more permanent move to Waco from Dallas! Just 3 more weeks! I think we are really going to like Waco, and its so nice to be able to go up and come back in one day! Now onto finding a new car, to fit my family of 3. No minivan....never ever gonna be a minivan mom!!
