I sometimes wonder if things will ever slow down!!  My job situation has &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;definitely&lt;/span&gt; been interesting to say the least... when I moved from NC, I just assumed that I would have a job.  God hasn't let me down, however it has been difficult to not have a "home".  After teaching in the same school for 7 years, knowing everyone, this has surely been a challenge.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When we first moved here, I was at BM Williams in Chesapeake teaching &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;Pre&lt;/span&gt;-K in summer school.  In the fall, they asked me back to do a long term sub in 2&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;nd&lt;/span&gt; grade.  That was awesome, and I thought it would become permanent... after the lady I subbed for got better, and I got put on &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;bedrest&lt;/span&gt;, God had other plans.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After having Caleb, I prayed to find a job.  On the way back from NC when Caleb was only a month old, I got a message from a lady at our church, saying her school needed a long term sub in 2&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;nd&lt;/span&gt; grade.  I called the principal, got an interview and started the next day!  This too was supposed to be permanent (or possibly in the fall becoming permanent).  With the economy the way it is, the teacher wanted to return.  This principal felt so bad for me she sent out an email immediately, forwarding my information to other principals. I got a call within a week and to make another real long story short, I am now at my 3rd school teaching 5&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"&gt;th&lt;/span&gt; grade Language Arts and Social Studies. Surprise surprise, I LOVE IT!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, if nothing else, after this school year, I have a long resume..... pray that I can hopefully call one of these three schools, home (next year).  I will remain here at &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6"&gt;Kempsville&lt;/span&gt; Meadows ES until the end of the school year.  It is a wonderful place!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hopefully I can post soon the pictures from the baptism!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Spring break starts next week!  &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7"&gt;YIPEEE&lt;/span&gt;.

Drew started swimming lessons at the YMCA on Saturday.  We are hoping he will learn to swim by the end of the classes.  He is in a class for 6-36 month &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;olds&lt;/span&gt;, to help them get used to the water.  The instructor played lots of games with them and was very surprised at Drew, when she handed him a letter and would say, "What's that letter?" and he would actually tell her, "that's an F!" We are hoping he will learn to swim as quickly as he has learned his ABC's!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JL_dasK8BWM/SbW7W837IMI/AAAAAAAAAI0/VpGUmZ-R6CE/s1600-h/IMG_2912.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5311357338525573314" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JL_dasK8BWM/SbW7W837IMI/AAAAAAAAAI0/VpGUmZ-R6CE/s320/IMG_2912.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; This was, "&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;Humpty&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;Dumpty&lt;/span&gt; sat on a wall, &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;Humpty&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;Dumpty&lt;/span&gt; had a great fall!" and he had to fall into the pool.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JL_dasK8BWM/SbW7L9z-eoI/AAAAAAAAAIs/P_IWgPPqw_M/s1600-h/IMG_2910.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5311357149798890114" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JL_dasK8BWM/SbW7L9z-eoI/AAAAAAAAAIs/P_IWgPPqw_M/s320/IMG_2910.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; "Please don't splash my face!!!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JL_dasK8BWM/SbW7AzyWYDI/AAAAAAAAAIk/0avwI4HrRKQ/s1600-h/IMG_2907.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5311356958129152050" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JL_dasK8BWM/SbW7AzyWYDI/AAAAAAAAAIk/0avwI4HrRKQ/s320/IMG_2907.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; This is fun!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_JL_dasK8BWM/SbW62EjUgLI/AAAAAAAAAIc/DxK9NdBXLQI/s1600-h/IMG_2905.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5311356773650956466" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_JL_dasK8BWM/SbW62EjUgLI/AAAAAAAAAIc/DxK9NdBXLQI/s320/IMG_2905.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; And then there was...

Your feet could only take about 5 seconds before they began to throb... of course we didn't let him go far or stay long, but he sure enjoyed running into the surf.

It was funny though, because the schools were out a few weeks ago due to a "virtual" snow day- they were calling for 2-4 inches and everyone got scared so they called off school.  Nothing...

We debated until the moment the lady came from vital records on his middle name.  There were many that we liked!  We chose Edward (Matthew's middle name) which is also a family name.

Especially one so strong willed as Drew- wonder where he gets that?  When Caleb cried, Drew would say, "it's &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;ok&lt;/span&gt; baby Caleb".  Since being home he has been a big help.

He weighed in at  6lbs 10oz and 19 1/4 in long.  We all underestimated his size!  Everything went as good as can be (except that the epidural didn't work, but it's all good) and Caleb is very healthy.  We had a wonderful experience at Chesapeake General.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We came home today around 2:00.  He is a very laid back baby- even more so than Drew, that's kinda scary!!!

After a pre-term labor scare over a month ago, he has decided he is nice and comfortable :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We go back to the doctor on Monday to schedule the induction if he doesn't decide to come earlier.  I am dialated to a 2 as of now, so we are hopeful that I will continue to dialate on my own.

We will have &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;Internet&lt;/span&gt; shortly after moving in, however we do not have a computer to hook it to. Our laptop is most likely too old and too slow to handle the high speed &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;Internet&lt;/span&gt;. We are hopeful that we will have plenty of help moving on Saturday from the young adults in our Sunday school class to assist us since I have been threatened if I even touch a box...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;We have tried to finish up all of our Christmas shopping in the event that Caleb decides to come early! We are taking a hospital tour this evening to become familiar with the facilities at Chesapeake General. Time is ticking away! I am visiting the doctor twice a week now until delivery to keep an eye on my health and also doing a non-stress test where I have to sit hooked to a monitor for 30 minutes to monitor my contractions and the babies &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;heart rate&lt;/span&gt;. If I haven't gone into labor on my own by around Jan.3rd, they will induce labor. That means only FOUR MORE WEEKS (or less)... we are so excited!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;We went to the Oceanfront to see the Christmas lights and Drew absolutely loved them! I hope to post those pictures soon. Drew, Grandpa and Daddy walked around the neighborhood last night to check out all of the lights. Drew calls them "&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;Chrishmash&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;lighs&lt;/span&gt;".&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;We have been busy going to church on Sundays and Wednesdays to the advent services. Drew has been participating in Sunday school, and they are putting on their program this Sunday morning. I am not sure if he will actually "participate" or not, but it is exciting that he is starting to get it. Whenever we see a picture of an older man with a cane, or even see the Christmas candy canes in people's yards he says, "God". It is so precious. He even sings a little bit of jingle bells- "jingle bells, jingle bells all the way". Christmas should be a blast with him this year. We are hoping to be settled enough to at least get one Christmas tree up to put our presents under.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Next week we will celebrate Grandpa's 60&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"&gt;th&lt;/span&gt; birthday! &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6"&gt;Shhh&lt;/span&gt;... don't tell, there may be some surprises....&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Until next time, keep us in your prayers that we have a smooth closing and move, and that Caleb decides to wait on his big arrival until AFTER the move...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7700031408278335400-5104232097010275177?l=the4chadwicks.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://the4chadwicks.blogspot.com/feeds/5104232097010275177/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7700031408278335400&amp;postID=5104232097010275177' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7700031408278335400/posts/default/5104232097010275177'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7700031408278335400/posts/default/5104232097010275177'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://the4chadwicks.blogspot.com/2008/12/big-move-is-coming.html' title='The Big Move is Coming!'/><author><name>Nina</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02267127042662072712</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JL_dasK8BWM/ST18uA5tAwI/AAAAAAAAAE4/ju6Bjt8e_vQ/s72-c/nov+08+002.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7700031408278335400.post-42500374278427033</id><published>2008-12-05T14:01:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-12-05T14:16:20.135-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Tagged!

In the 4 1/2 years Matthew and me have been married, we have lived in:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;a tiny apartment&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;a haunted house in Whittier (long story)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;hotel rooms (while our house was being built)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Kathy's house&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;our parents houses&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;bought a house in &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;Sylva&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;sold a house in &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;Sylva&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;my parents house&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;soon to be... a new house in VA Beach&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;That's a lot of places!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;2.  I feel like I have been pregnant for the past 3 years of my life!  Pregnant in 05', baby in 06' a year off, pregnant again in 08' hopefully baby in 08' or early 09'.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;3.  I have probably owned more cars than most people.... all since 2003&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;VW&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;Jetta&lt;/span&gt; (God rest the V-nasty)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Honda Civic&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Honda Accord 2-Dr&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Honda CR-V&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Honda Accord 4-Dr&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;What next you ask? Give me a few more months, I'm sure to have something else....&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"&gt;lol&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;4.  While being pregnant with gestational diabetes, I can't eat what I want so instead of craving chocolate (well, I do but can't have it) I crave ICE!!!! I eat ice all of the time!!! So much for the enamel on my teeth.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;5.  We met a couple (our asst. pastor and his wife) that have our same exact anniversary!  June 26, 2004- they were married one hour before us.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;6.  Weird fact- I sent a text to Ashley to have her ship her &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6"&gt;breast pump&lt;/span&gt; to VA....&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7"&gt;lol&lt;/span&gt;.... I had it until March, we were cleaning out stuff and I took it back to her at Ellison's 2&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8"&gt;nd&lt;/span&gt; birthday- a month later, found out I was pregnant again... Who knew I would have another use for that thing, but who wants to spend $200 for a new one?  That package should give the UPS man a laugh...&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9"&gt;lol&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;7.  &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10"&gt;Bed rest&lt;/span&gt; is not all it's cracked up to be.  While I was working, I was constantly in pain and wished I could just have some time to rest.  Well, God has a funny sense of humor...after a scare with &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11"&gt;pre&lt;/span&gt;-term labor, I got that rest.... now, I am &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12"&gt;STIR CRAZY&lt;/span&gt;!!!!  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I hope you all enjoyed my randomness...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7700031408278335400-42500374278427033?l=the4chadwicks.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://the4chadwicks.blogspot.com/feeds/42500374278427033/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7700031408278335400&amp;postID=42500374278427033' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7700031408278335400/posts/default/42500374278427033'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7700031408278335400/posts/default/42500374278427033'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://the4chadwicks.blogspot.com/2008/12/tagged-twice.html' title='Tagged!

I called the doctor and he said to come on in to the hospital to get checked out.  When I got there and they put me on the monitors, I was contracting every 4-5 minutes...not a good thing.  They gave me 2 shots of some kind of medicine to stop contractions and thankfully it worked.  We were discharged around 2am, with no restrictions. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sunday, I took it easy and thought I was feeling better- a little tired, but &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;ok&lt;/span&gt;.  Around 4am, the contractions returned waking me up and we found ourselves back in the hospital.  After this episode, the doctor decided I should be on &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;bedrest&lt;/span&gt;.  Not TOTALLY restricted, I can move around, shower all that good stuff, but the nurse said to take it easy, no shopping :( or anything that requires me to be on my feet for any period of time. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The good news for this day- we got a house!  In the post below, the picture of the white house is our new home!  We will meet the home inspector today to make sure all is well, and should close on the house December 12&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;th&lt;/span&gt; in time for Christmas- and hopefully before baby!  It is amazing how God works things out.  It is really ironic though- the day I found out I was pregnant with Caleb was the same day we sold our house in NC.  Yesterday, the day I was told to "stay strapped in the bed" as Matthew says, is the day we got a new house!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Keep is in your prayers today as the home inspection takes place- that there will be no hitches, and all will go smoothly!  I will post pictures of the inside of the house later.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7700031408278335400-6400904386794596999?l=the4chadwicks.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://the4chadwicks.blogspot.com/feeds/6400904386794596999/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7700031408278335400&amp;postID=6400904386794596999' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7700031408278335400/posts/default/6400904386794596999'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7700031408278335400/posts/default/6400904386794596999'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://the4chadwicks.blogspot.com/2008/11/emotional-day.html' title='An emotional day...'/><author><name>Nina</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02267127042662072712</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7700031408278335400.post-8211157084774425575</id><published>2008-11-21T13:02:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-11-21T13:10:44.010-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Momma/baby update</title><content type='html'>Hello all!  I hope you are all staying warm!  We have had a cold front this week and it has been COLD!!!  The average temps are supposed to still be in the 50's and 60's here, but today we saw snow showers off and on all day long!  The teachers at school were going nuts like they had never seen snow before, running out the door during lunch taking pictures with their cellphones.  It was hilarious!!!  The kids in my class asked me if we were having a blizzard!  I was cracking up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I went to the doctor yesterday, and they have started me on insulin because my sugar is still too high, despite the fact that I am practically STARVING myself to cut &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;carbs&lt;/span&gt; at every corner and have only gained 16 lbs (no weight gain for 4 &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;wks&lt;/span&gt; in a row).  He wanted to see me back in one week, but that is Thanksgiving Day!  The Tuesday after Thanksgiving I will return to the doctor and have another ultrasound.  From here on, I have to go to the doctor twice a week to do a non-stress test where they will monitor the baby closely.  I have realized through all of this that my body does not like to be pregnant, so more kids you are asking?  Not unless Matthew can carry the next one....&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;lol&lt;/span&gt;.  I am working 1/2 days after Thanksgiving on the days I go to the doctor.  Hopefully this will eliminate some of the stress on my body.  Keep me and baby "Caleb" (we think) in your prayers until our hopefully uneventful delivery in a few weeks.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7700031408278335400-8211157084774425575?l=the4chadwicks.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://the4chadwicks.blogspot.com/feeds/8211157084774425575/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7700031408278335400&amp;postID=8211157084774425575' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7700031408278335400/posts/default/8211157084774425575'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7700031408278335400/posts/default/8211157084774425575'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://the4chadwicks.blogspot.com/2008/11/mommababy-update.html' title='Momma/baby update'/><author><name>Nina</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02267127042662072712</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7700031408278335400.post-5519371787622502377</id><published>2008-11-18T13:22:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-11-18T13:49:12.073-08:00</updated><title type='text'>It's been a while...</title><content type='html'>Sorry so long!  I knew I would have a hard time keeping up with a blog, but if I can at least post once a month, that's doing good!  I have posted some random pictures of things we have been up to since Halloween!  All is well here, getting chilly and I am getting bigger!!!! We are ready for this baby to come!  The doctor has already said an early induction 1-3 &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;wks&lt;/span&gt; early depending on what the next ultrasound has to show... they will do another one in a few weeks to see how big baby boy is, then they will decide how early to take him.  My due date is January 17&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;th&lt;/span&gt;, so we are looking to have the baby right around New Year's, or earlier.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We have started the house hunt!  The following pictures are 2 of the houses we liked.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JL_dasK8BWM/SSM0xZpa1VI/AAAAAAAAAD0/T-WZwVn6t7A/s1600-h/013.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5270114012256458066" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JL_dasK8BWM/SSM0xZpa1VI/AAAAAAAAAD0/T-WZwVn6t7A/s320/013.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; This is a picture of one of the houses we really liked.  It is really big but needs some updating on the inside.  It is in Chesapeake, about 2 minutes from my current school, and about 10 minutes (on a good traffic day) to Matthew's work.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_JL_dasK8BWM/SSM0qIO5LxI/AAAAAAAAADs/ADezAKrPnqE/s1600-h/014.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5270113887322713874" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_JL_dasK8BWM/SSM0qIO5LxI/AAAAAAAAADs/ADezAKrPnqE/s320/014.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;This was another house that we really liked.  It is move in ready with no upgrades needed.  This house is in a community called Ocean Lakes, in Virginia Beach.  It is about 10 minutes from the beach, but 20-30 to both my school and Matthew's work. Keep us in your prayers as we continue looking for the right house!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JL_dasK8BWM/SSM0i3Chs9I/AAAAAAAAADk/vhHzJ9XlPQE/s1600-h/012.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5270113762448356306" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JL_dasK8BWM/SSM0i3Chs9I/AAAAAAAAADk/vhHzJ9XlPQE/s320/012.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mommy and Drew smiling after the Wiggles concert in Hampton.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JL_dasK8BWM/SSM0ZP98BoI/AAAAAAAAADc/-jKsvcooyYw/s1600-h/009.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5270113597341304450" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JL_dasK8BWM/SSM0ZP98BoI/AAAAAAAAADc/-jKsvcooyYw/s320/009.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Daddy, Mommy and Drew posing for a picture before the Wiggles concert!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_JL_dasK8BWM/SSM0QlEQLVI/AAAAAAAAADU/djfOzF1Q1mU/s1600-h/010.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5270113448386112850" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_JL_dasK8BWM/SSM0QlEQLVI/AAAAAAAAADU/djfOzF1Q1mU/s320/010.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; For those of you who do not have small children, you have probably never experienced the Wiggles.  They are a group from Australia, and their show comes on Disney every morning at 7:00.  Drew watches them everyday.  They are a lot of fun! Drew loves their music so we surprised him with tickets to see them in concert!  It was a pretty good show!  They did a lot of singing and dancing!  I think we enjoyed it more than Drew.... as well as the other parents in the audience...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_JL_dasK8BWM/SSM0FUXtVGI/AAAAAAAAADM/4HPsAHQCW14/s1600-h/008.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5270113254925751394" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_JL_dasK8BWM/SSM0FUXtVGI/AAAAAAAAADM/4HPsAHQCW14/s320/008.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Drew and Daddy posing for a picture at Chili's.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_JL_dasK8BWM/SSMzxe7guMI/AAAAAAAAADE/Sm92buQ7zOs/s1600-h/003.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5270112914162890946" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_JL_dasK8BWM/SSMzxe7guMI/AAAAAAAAADE/Sm92buQ7zOs/s320/003.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; This is a picture of Drew at his daycare Halloween party.

I was very busy this past weekend. I dressed up in my first real costume. Mommy and Daddy picked out several outfits for me, but they did not fit my style. They wanted me to be a doggy, then Thomas, but I didn't like those costumes. So on Saturday, they finally got me what I wanted, a football jersey! They didn't have a Pittsburgh &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;Steelers&lt;/span&gt; Jersey in my size, so I had to settle for a VA Tech jersey instead. I went to church and enjoyed eating pizza and watching some really awesome Irish dancers before we went trunk or treating. It was raining, so we had to move it inside. I had so much fun! I came home and daddy gave me a piece or two of my candy! I LOVE chocolate! On Sunday, we rode through &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;Williamsburg&lt;/span&gt; and saw lots of things! My favorite thing to do right now is play with my trains! I am growing up so fast, mommy and daddy can't believe it! At daycare this week I am having a Halloween party. Trick or Treat!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7700031408278335400-2914448483753138735?l=the4chadwicks.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://the4chadwicks.blogspot.com/feeds/2914448483753138735/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7700031408278335400&amp;postID=2914448483753138735' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7700031408278335400/posts/default/2914448483753138735'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7700031408278335400/posts/default/2914448483753138735'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://the4chadwicks.blogspot.com/2008/10/hello-from-drew.html' title='Hello from Drew!'/><author><name>Nina</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02267127042662072712</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JL_dasK8BWM/SQYsh8cCqtI/AAAAAAAAACs/AtbWoyfmkIA/s72-c/October+08+030.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7700031408278335400.post-2388119744116412033</id><published>2008-10-22T12:27:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2008-10-22T12:43:49.427-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Happy Fall!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JL_dasK8BWM/SP9_uk0R8pI/AAAAAAAAABc/Xy2SCgmeX30/s1600-h/October+08+189.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5260063327925695122" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JL_dasK8BWM/SP9_uk0R8pI/AAAAAAAAABc/Xy2SCgmeX30/s320/October+08+189.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Drew models his new &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;Rainforest&lt;/span&gt; Cafe shirt!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JL_dasK8BWM/SP9_NIsUt7I/AAAAAAAAABU/34h0U9Mn_fI/s1600-h/October+08+176.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5260062753440446386" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JL_dasK8BWM/SP9_NIsUt7I/AAAAAAAAABU/34h0U9Mn_fI/s320/October+08+176.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Lot's of things have been going on here in Virginia! Week before last, we helped &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;Kaleigh&lt;/span&gt; celebrate her 4&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;th&lt;/span&gt; birthday! Ben and his two girls came in from California. We had a full house! It was a lot of fun!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Last weekend, Matthew's family came to visit! We had a condo on &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;Sandbridge&lt;/span&gt; Beach. The weather on Thursday (and the whole beginning of the week) was in the high 80's. When we woke up in the condo Friday morning, it was cold and rainy.... 50something degrees cold. So no beach weather but regardless, we had a good time! We toured Norfolk and Virginia Beach and ate at the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;Cheesecake&lt;/span&gt; Factory (my favorite) and a nice restaurant on the beach!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I went to the doctor on Friday for my glucose test, and found out on Monday that I failed it yet again... but my blood sugar is much higher this time. Now I get to go and do the lovely 3 hour make you sick to your stomach test to tell me what I already know... that I have gestational diabetes again. The doctor says the baby is already measuring big, so I know that means not getting to eat all the things pregnant women want... &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"&gt;carbs&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6"&gt;carbs&lt;/span&gt; and more &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7"&gt;carbs&lt;/span&gt;, chocolate, salty snacks, pretty much all the stuff I crave!!! I also found out on Monday that the job I was pretty much told was mine, probably won't be. The lady I am subbing for is getting better (which is great for her) but not so great for me. She will most probably be back after Christmas, sometime in January. The principal wants to keep me on board, and said he will try his best. But, I am heading to a job fair in VA Beach tomorrow. So please keep all of this in your prayers.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Drew is doing well, he has lots planned for Halloween, except, he won't wear a costume.. at least the two I have he won't wear, so he may be going as Drew for Halloween.... &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8"&gt;lol&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Until next time, HAPPY FALL!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7700031408278335400-2388119744116412033?l=the4chadwicks.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://the4chadwicks.blogspot.com/feeds/2388119744116412033/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7700031408278335400&amp;postID=2388119744116412033' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7700031408278335400/posts/default/2388119744116412033'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7700031408278335400/posts/default/2388119744116412033'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://the4chadwicks.blogspot.com/2008/10/happy-fall.html' title='Happy Fall!'/><author><name>Nina</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02267127042662072712</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JL_dasK8BWM/SP9_uk0R8pI/AAAAAAAAABc/Xy2SCgmeX30/s72-c/October+08+189.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7700031408278335400.post-4231519347704559420</id><published>2008-10-06T13:25:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-10-06T13:55:28.851-07:00</updated><title type='text'>A recap of the last two weekends</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JL_dasK8BWM/SOp43dXT-RI/AAAAAAAAABM/rULZQ9qWm8k/s1600-h/September-Drew+015.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5254144809451649298" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JL_dasK8BWM/SOp43dXT-RI/AAAAAAAAABM/rULZQ9qWm8k/s320/September-Drew+015.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Ava, Drew and &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;Aiden&lt;/span&gt;... waiting patiently for lunch.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JL_dasK8BWM/SOp4gVoHV2I/AAAAAAAAABE/k44wPHxhn9A/s1600-h/September-Drew+013.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5254144412237649762" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JL_dasK8BWM/SOp4gVoHV2I/AAAAAAAAABE/k44wPHxhn9A/s320/September-Drew+013.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; My how time flies... here is a picture of Drew and Ava from last weekend!

I hope we can keep it updated as much as possible. This picture was taken on Drew's birthday (September 2&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;nd&lt;/span&gt;) on his new swing!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We are experiencing our first fall in Chesapeake and so far it has been beautiful! Cool crisp mornings have replaced the hot, sweat dripping mornings! Not much is going on right now, just work and school for us and preparing for our new little boy in a few short months. We still don't have a &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;definite&lt;/span&gt; name for him, however Caleb is still in first place.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Drew has been very busy this week. He had a big week at school, learning lots of new things about fall. He had his 2 year old check up this week, weighing in at a big 26.5 lbs (unchanged for about 6-9 months now) but has grown about 2 inches or so since his last checkup! He is 34.5 inches tall! Thankfully, average height, unlike his parents! The pediatrician says he looks great and his development is right on track, his language development however is way beyond his age...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Will post more later, as more fun things are happening with the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;Chadwicks&lt;/span&gt;!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7700031408278335400-7441132829558288112?l=the4chadwicks.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://the4chadwicks.blogspot.com/feeds/7441132829558288112/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7700031408278335400&amp;postID=7441132829558288112' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7700031408278335400/posts/default/7441132829558288112'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7700031408278335400/posts/default/7441132829558288112'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://the4chadwicks.blogspot.com/2008/10/welcome-to-our-new-blog-i-hope-we-can.html' title=''/><author><name>Nina</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02267127042662072712</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_JL_dasK8BWM/SOdxMZL1wiI/AAAAAAAAAAM/3mPQWaTY8hc/s72-c/Drew%27s+birthday+2+006.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7700031408278335400.post-577100380713099916</id><published>2008-10-04T06:29:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2008-10-04T06:30:00.621-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Stepping out into technology...</title><content type='html'>So this is a scary thing...
