Ya, well let's see...It's been a while - yes. Well, lots has happened so I guess I should update things a little.
1. We moved. We're now in New Orleans LA where Brett has started his residency program here with Ochsner. So far things are going good. Brett keeps himself busy at the hospital and has a new rotation every month in a different field. He longs for the day of just podiatry though, but has gotta pay his dues like every other MED student that first intern year. He still can't beleive he is a Dr though and thinks it sounds funny hearing people call him Dr Sorensen in the hospital all the time. We're all still so proud of him of course =)
2. We're having another baby!! Sooner than later now - but we're having another little girl who is due March 12th. However, I have been having some preterm labor issues and considering my baby having history (Adalie 39wks, Cason 37 1/2, Brody 35wks6days) we're thinking she will be here in the next week or two. I am 35 weeks tomorrow actually, and hope she stays in there at least one more week. My Dr. has me on some medicine to help slow things down a bit and my mom is here and trying to get me to rest and slow down too. Who knows, maybe in the end she will decide to wait and I will actually have to be induced!! I am terrible pregnant, as always, so my body hurts all the time - but I wouldn't mind her waiting 3 or 4 more weeks if I had a choice. The other kiddos are sick with coughs and nasty noses so I would rather not bring her into a germ infested environment and also, 4 kids is a scary thought....so I wouldn't mind a few more weeks to try and get used to the idea of it all. The kids all seem so excited, especially Adalie. She is over the moon about having a baby sister. Me too...I am excited to end things with another sweet little girl and lots of pink things =). We're having a little trouble narrowing down an exact name. We have 2 or 3 in the running but nothing solid. I don't really know what we're waiting for - I'm not a big believer in the "wait to see what they look like" thing. I think for me, it's mostly the pressure of thinking this is our last and I really need to get it right haha
3. Kids seem to be adjusting well to NOLA. Though Brett and I are NOT big fans of "city-ish" life, we're makin it work. I hate all the concrete. I hate the schools here and I always feel SO bad for Adalie. Uniforms, no art or music, and ONE recess a day pretty much just combined with their P.E. time...it's a terrible school system here. That's why we're thinking about movin up to the North Shore when our contract is through. For where we are living, it is WAY to expensive and the house is old and terrible.The kids are all getting SO big...I cannot beleive Adalie will be 8, and Cason is turing 5 and Brody 3!!! It all seems to be going by in a flash when I actually stop and think about it.
Anywho...still have lot to catch up on - but lets just let this do for now I suppose!! It's at least something...
