4+1=5

Mr. Innkeeper is currently chasing 4 realistic job prospects: 2 in Seattle, 1 in San Jose (CA, not Costa Rica), and 1 in Huntington Beach. He's also hoping to hear back from companies in Salt Lake and in Denver. The one in Boston fell through a few weeks ago; Austin hasn't called back; and he decided to let the one in Illinois go. So, despite vowing never to live in California, 50% of his job prospects, including his #1, are in the Golden State. In sum, we have no idea where we're going to wind up in the next few months, and the only one more confused and exasperated by the uncertainty than myself might be Jason. At least the kids are excited about the coming changes.

While we don't have a clue where we'll be, we are certain about one thing -- one more will be making the move with us. Number 3 is due some time in early October, and we can't be more excited. To quell your nagging suspicions, yes we were planning to have a third, and no, we hadn't thought that it would happen amidst all this turmoil. We had wanted to wait until Mr. Innkeeper had secured a job and we had moved and settled in a bit, but sometimes the Lord has other plans. Anyway, we are ecstatic for baby #3, and the kids can't wait. Delia has already taken to singing into my belly button and rubbing my growing tummy. Joshua is equally excited.

So there you have it. We can't wait!

Congratulations and sorry about all of the confusion. We've been having a bit of job stress ourselves, because Matt's business is being sold to American Express, so he's looking too. I'm not pregnant, though. We moved during each of my pregnancies with the boys -- isn't life an adventure?

Yeah! I'm so excited! Congratulations. I hope that your move happens soon so you can get a headstart. I often wonder about our timing as well - we hoped to get pregant from the November 06, but the blessing never came until weeks before Brett moved in September 07. So God must have it all worked out? I hope it works out well for you!
