First, Juan interviewed in Coeur d'Alene, ID for a job last week. After a lot of research, the visit and countless prayers we've decided NOT to take the job and are starting a new search in the great state of Texas. Luckily, we have a few months before his residency is up. He's interviewing in Denver next week for Comfort Dental, a dental chain where job opportunities in Texas are overflowing. It also looks as if he's going to fly out to Dallas sometime in April. Who knows, Bebe and I might tag along.
Speaking of Baby, we've broken bad habits and have pretty much decided on a name before the last day at the hospital. We're pretty sure we'll call him Ezra Aksel Chavez. The girls are already calling him by name when they speak to my tummy. I've been having a lot of symptoms of early labor these last couple of weeks, but who knows when he'll actually make his debut. Personally, I was hoping he'd wait clear up until his due date to come because I'm still kind-of freaking out that I'm going to be in charge of three children... 3! However, Siena and Qiana have both been hit really hard with the coming realization that a new person is going to take up most of my attention. Siena has demonstrated this with an increase in whining, crying and freaking out at the slightest upset while Qiana has reverted back to pre-potty trained behavior. Add a sleep-deprived, impatient mother into the mix (ahh, the endless nights of back pain will not be missed...) and you've got a recipe for disaster. So, in short, all of these things have pushed me into thinking that it might not be so bad for Ezra to come sooner. I really, really, really could use a couple days in bed where people wait on me and bring me red jello.
Don't get me wrong, I'm ecstatic for this little boy to come to our family. These are just little tidbits that I'm thinking of at this moment. I know the frustration will pass, as it always has. We really are blessed with so many moments of happiness that I have no room to complain.

I'm excited for your little boy to come, he's going to be so darling!
Those last few weeks are SO hard! Hang in there! And good luck with future plans. I know something wonderful is waiting for you!
I can't even imagine how hard it must be the last few weeks of pregnancy when you have other little kids running around. I'll be thinking about you, can't wait to hear about little boy's arrival. Good Luck on the job decision, we seriously love Texas and if you guys do end up here we'll have to try and plan a lunch or something some time depending on where y'all end up.
