and breathe...

So we made it. Well at least half way made it. Mom, Austin, Kate and I packed up everything and cleaned all we could and then left of Wednesday morning. Devon, with the help of his parents and people in the ward, hauled everything down 3 flights of stairs, cleaned everything else and checked out. They left for Boise and are staying the night in Winamucca tonight and will finish the trip tomorrow. I can officially say that it has been a crazy two weeks. Poor Austin, granted he is doing well considering everything, is having a hard time. There have been so many changes and his routine has been so thrown off that he is being very shy and not his normal content self. I feel bad because it's going to be at least another 3 weeks before we get to Idaho and settle into a real routine. All in all things are going well. Kate is good, she gets gas really easily and I have to be SUPER careful about EVERYTHING I eat. It's kind of annoying and I am really craving chocolate but I guess it's for the best. Here are some more pictures of Kate, ones that you can actually see her. They still aren't the best pictures but we're working on it slowly.

Kate Lynn Wilson

Yeah!!! Baby Kate finally came to join our family!!! We are so excited that she is here. Kate was born on June 14th (her due date) at 4:58 p.m. She weighed in at 8 lbs 9 oz and 21 inches long. She is healthy, happy and a great eater. Everything went really well with the labor and delivery, compaired to Austin it was a walk in the park. Everyone is home now and trying to adjust to our newest family memeber. Enjoy the pictures!

This is me, so happy to have an epidural!
Baby Kate, finally here!
Dad excited to have a little more pink in his life
At the hospital Austin wanted nothing to do with me. He wanted dad even if his hands were already full!

Austin is still trying to decide how he feels about Kate, mostly he is just curious.

Kitty is sad, he got the boot from the bedroom and is banished to the couch to sleep. Sorry Kitty.

Update

To update everyone on how things are going I just wanted to say that there is nothing to update. BLAH. Everyone who I knew was pregnant (some due before, some the same as, and some even after me) have all had their babies...and here I sit with my big baby belly still intact. But on the up side, I do know that if she doesn't come this weekend I am being enduced on Monday so at least I have an end in site. My mom is flying in this evening and will be a great help with Austin and all the craziness going on around here. So if all else fails, hopefully we'll be able to post some good news by Tuesday.

Moving

As many of you know, Devon and I have been looking to buy a house in the area and therefore have been planning to move for a couple of months now. Well we are happy to announce that we have finally made our decision and know when we are going to move. The surprise to us, as I am sure it will be to you, is that we are not only moving out of the ward but are movie to Boise, Idaho! As much as we love it here we have felt that it's time for us to move on and that our calling is somewhere else right now. We will be leaving at the end of June. Devon's last day of work is the 27th, then his father is coming down and will be helping him drive out to Boise. As for me, after I have the baby my mom will be coming down to stay with us and then I will go back with her and be staying at my parents for a month or so. This will give Devon some time to get to Idaho, find a place for us to live, and get things set up so that I don't have to deal with the hassle with Austin and the new baby. Although we are surprised where our lives are taking us we are excited and know that we will enjoy Idaho, although we will miss it here.

Baby one, Baby two

Yesterday Devon did the honors of taking pictures of me. I decided to have him take them yesterday because then they would be at about the exact same time as when we took pictures of me when I was pregnant with Austin. And just for comparison's sake, I decided to wear the same thing. I was really surprised that I could look so much the same a year and a half, and a whole pregnancy latter, but here they are. I hope you enjoy. The first one is of me Pregnant with Austin, the second is yesterday.

Father and Sons

Today Austin is officially a year and a half, and in celebration of our monster getting so big Devon took him last night to the Father and Sons camp out. That's right folks, Devon took Austin camping by himself and I got to spend my night however I wanted! It was fabulous. I ended up spending a wonderfully quite night at home chatting with my sister on MSN which was tons of fun because they finally got high speed Internet and we both got our web cams up and running. I didn't go anywhere, do anything...It was wonderful. I didn't even make dinner for myself. I was planning on grabbing some pizza or a burrito and this wonderful Mexican place down the street but I didn't feel like leaving so I didn't! Nobody ever asked me "when's dinner" "what's for dinner tonight" "can we go out" nothing! It was a nice break. As for Devon and Austin, they came back around 11:00 this morning and Devon said that it went great! Austin slept all night, he had fun running around getting dirty and exploring. Devon enjoyed it and said he would do it again...that's right, it went so well he won't hesitate doing it again! It's music to my ears. Austin really is such a good boy and it will be such a joy to see how he interacts with Kate. I really can't wait. So in closing I just want to give a shout out to my wonderful husband for being such a great dad and a brave father, taking an 18 month old camping by himself at a site an hour away.

Offers

We finally picked 6 houses that we wanted to put offers in on. So last night we signed all the paperwork and are now waiting to hear. It didn't take long for some of them, we are already down to 4 houses. One house has already accepted someones offer, and the other one is not taking offers under their asking price (which is more than we have). So, 2 down 4 to go. Hopefully we will have better luck with the rest. I am just glad we are on to the next step. I enjoyed looking at houses but I am ready to move in to one already! Not much going on other than houses right now. Everything else is pretty quite.
