New Job for John and baby news!!!

We are very excited to announce that john has gotten a job offer from Georgia Pacific. He recieved a call this morning with the news. He is very excited and we are very grateful to everyone for all your prayers and thoughts, we could not have done it without the support of family. He will be working in the HR service center and answering calls from employee's about GP benifits.

On another note: I had my doctor's appointment this morning and the induction date is set for wednesday. I am only 2 cm dialated and Jenna is weighing in at a whopping 8lbs 5 oz! She is gonna be a big girl! We are very excited for her arrival, hopefully she will come sooner than later. We will keep everyone updated in case she decides to make an appearance this weekend.

Love to everyone!

Baby Shower

Ashley decided she was going to throw a diapers and wipes themed baby shower for me. It was tons of fun hanging out with a few of my good friends and catching up. The highlight of the evening i have to say was megan's gross stories about what she has seen being a nurse over the past few years. Jenna got lots of wipes and diapers and she got some new outfits and a few bath items, it was great :) Now all we need is for her to get here. I go back to the doctor this week on friday and at that point i will be overdue and they will schedule an induction date. I will keep everyone informed, love you all!

Pregnancy Pictures

Hello all! We decided to take "pregnancy pictures" the other day for the fun of it and also i dont think i have let john take one picture of me while i have been pregnant this time :) We are excited for the new baby to get here, only 2 weeks left and counting (hopefully not any longer). I went to the doctor last week and i am dialated to 1cm and 50% effaced... so we will see this week how much progress i have made.

John, jamiee and abbi update

I thought this was a really cute idea to keep the family all updated on things happening with the shores IV family. Really no updates right now to post. We are just waiting for allison to get here, not too much longer, only about a month and a half. I went to the doctor thursday and he said my iron level was low and i needed to keep up with that by eating "iron rich foods" and he also mentioned that if i dont end up going on my due date they may try to push things along as much as possible since abbi was 9 days late. He said that if your first is that late expect your second to be pretty much the same way, but i am trying to be optimistic for a march 1st delivery.

John is still looking for new employment, thanks for everyone's prayers and thoughts. We are in desperate need of them. He is currently also looking for a second job so that we can at least afford to pay our bills. He has been bummed out lately about the whole thing, but we are scraping by and hanging on by strings. On another note: He still has not gotten his diploma, and is anxiously awaiting that. It should be arriving soon i hope- i know he has been wanting to hang it up.

Abbi is doing well, she is gaining weight- up to 22 1/2 lbs!! Yeah! She is a little piggy and finally is starting to get some meat on her bones to back it up... still a string bean but a little fuller of one. She is learing to talk a little more, but its very random and not really consistant. She has been growling alot, not sure why that is but its cute.

Other than that we are just looking forward to mom and dad moving back here so that abbi can get to know them alot better. I know john and me are also looking forward to spending more time with them too. Anyway- we hope everyone is doing great and we are keeping everyone in our prayers. Love you all!!
