randomness....

Things are good here! My dr. appt went good Wednesday. I am just taking it easy, I am SURE Hale is really loving doing all the laundry and cooking!! (Ha) I am actually going to try working Tuesday. Dr. Healy said just to be my own judge of what is "too much", so we will see. I only work 2 days a week, so hopefully I can make it without too many contractions. (a few an hour is okay)

Anyway, here are some pictures from the last few weeks......Uncle Chris came to visit so he and Daddy could go to the Liberty Bowl to see the Hogs.....and we went to see "The Sqeakuel"! (and then some random pics of the kids)

Have a great week!

a little bed rest and lots of stress

First of all, please excuse the boringness of my little blog these days. I seriously need to change to something a little "happier". This last week has been crazy. Last tuesday I started feeling a little yucky, just really tired, no appetite, I could barely get off the couch. Wednesday afternoon it was worse. I felt kinda like I just had a bug, and really didn't feel like it was baby related. Everyone kept saying "just go in and get checked out for peace of mind that it's not related to the pregnancy", I did. Well.....I got to the doctor at 11:00 and by 2:00 I was at the hospital. I was quite emotional at this point because I was of course thinking the worst, and my kids were not prepared for this!!! Anyway, the doctor did a test to see if I was at risk for going into pre term labor in the next 2-3 weeks, and it came back positive. They put me on the moniters for about an hour and a half, and I was having contractions every 2-3 minutes. I called Hale to meet me, and got the kids taken care of and was off the the hospital. They gave me fluids, and 2 shots to stop the contractions, and a steroid shot for the baby's lungs, and luckily let me go at about 7:30 that night. Weston was with Jennifer and Gracie was with my friend Roxanne so they were happy. I, on the other hand, was a basket case. I was thinking how awful it would be if I was stuck in the hospital, I am only 28 weeks. The contractions stopped, but I was really shaky and weird feeling from the shots. So anyway, I got home and went to sleep, and felt good th next day, and the next. Then Sunday came and I felt terrible, and had NO energy. The kids had spent the night with my parents, and came home about 3:30. Then at 4:00 the contractions were back. I watched them for about 2 hours, and then at 6:30 headed back to the hospital. I talked Hale into staying home with the kids so they could get baths and get to bed, and I didn't want them to be upset if we had to leave. Jennifer picked me up, and I had a breakdown. It was okay in the end. I WAS having contractions every few minutes, but 10 minutes after the first shot they stopped. I had 3 shots that night, and am just praying that they do not come back. I go back to the doctor on Wednesday to see what the plan is. We do not need a baby for atleast another 8 weeks!!! She weighs about 2 lbs, right now, but her little lungs are not ready for the world yet!
Oh, and by the way, Blessing # 3's name ..........Chloe Beatrice!! We just like Chloe, and Beatrice is after Hale's Mom.
I'll update on Wednesday, hopefully.

just enough...

We had just enough snow for the kids to play a little, really not much at all, but atleast we got a snow day!!!! Here are a few pics!

Let it Snow........PLEASE!!!!

Well, our weathermen are predicting SNOW....and while we can't always count on them to be right, we are really hoping to wake up to lots of it!! Weston is really hoping to have a snow day tomorrow, and so am I!! Last year we had quite a bit of snow for where we live, here are a few pics!! Hopefully I will get to post some new ones tomorrow!
