Texas Update

I do know where my camera is but I have not taken any photos since school got out. Not even any pictures of packing the house, the plane ride here, unpacking, the new house, the kids in the new house. Nothing. So this will be another photoless post.
So.....Texas is HOT! The first thing I noticed when I got off the plane almost a month ago was how weird my flip flops felt in the heat. I don't know how to explain it except it feels like they are melting and sticking to your feet at the same time.
We are adjusting to the heat though. Living in Las Vegas for 2+ years is helping us adjust I think. We utilize the community pool frequently. It is great fun and I can just sit in the 1 foot 8 inch section and relax while the kids swim. It is great.
The kids are adjusting just great. Emma was able to go to Girl's Camp a week ago and had a great time. She is not technically in YW's until August 4th but they are letting her go anyway. She has made some really great friends. Jake has also quickly made friends and attended his first pack meeting this week and had a great time. Brandon is adjusting to Texas life and new people and has lots and lots of questions about why we are even here in Texas.
I enrolled Jake and Brandon into their new elementary school a couple of weeks ago and it looks wonderful. We were able to get a little tour of the school and Brandon said "I want summer to be over so I can go to school tomorrow." I really hope he feels the same way the first day of school. :)
The house is pretty much put away. There are a few boxes still needing to be sorted and put away. We even have pictures put up so it looks like "our" house. The garage is another story but that is not my territory. Thank goodness.
I am currently 33 1/2 weeks along. I have been told by my new doctor that she will schedule my c-section at 38 1/2 weeks. So I only have to wait 5 more weeks to see my very wiggly, busy baby girl. I hope it goes fast. I dread nighttime because I can't sleep very well and I am NEVER comfortable. Anyway, we are almost ready with the baby things washed, sorted, etc. So we are ready for her to come.
I have been busy getting all the kids school things bought and ready as well. They start school a week after the baby comes.
We miss all our Las Vegas friends but truly know that this is where we are suppose to be.

I was going to text you and ask if the heat is worse in Texas than Vegas. We were there for 4 months when I was 8+ months pregnant and I remember my clothes sticking to me and being uncomfortable...you'll have to judge it not being pregnant!
I can't wait to see pictures of the house!!! I wish they would let girls go to girls camp here if their birthdays are during the summer! Makes more sense!!!

I am so glad you guys are doing well! But I need to see some pictures :) That is funny about the flip flops. I have only lived in Phoenix and Vegas heat, not so much a wet heat. Can't wait to see your new baby girl!!
