Appointment Update

I had my 27 week appointment today. I think that Heavenly Father is trying to make sure that I am okay with being done having kids after this one arrives. So now besides having placenta previa, I failed the 1 hour glucose test so I have to have the 3 hour test done. And I am measuring 37 weeks instead of 27 weeks and the baby is breech!!! The only good I have to report is that I have good blood pressure still and I am not gaining a ton of weight. On top of it, we won't be eligible for new insurance with Walgreen's until around September 6th. So i really need to make it past that date. And my doctor keeps reiterating the fact that we probablly should not try to make it to Providence and that Del Sol is really ok, but I just can't get past the fact that Trevor was born and died at Del Sol and I think the memories alone would put me into a panic attack. I am afraid of history repeating itself there, and I just don't want to take the chance. On top of it, the Doctor's that took care of Trey when he was born are from Providence Memorial Hospital and I really trust their abilities after they took care of Trey. (And Alice is there!) So that's where we're at now. I really need to keep this baby in for another 4 weeks at least (7 would be ideal) so keep us in your prayers!!

Flice Water

This morning while I was trying to dry my hair after my quick shower Trey and I noticed a fly buzzing around the bathroom. He told me he wanted to get it so I sent him out to get the fly swatter from my mom. He came back a few minutes later, but without the fly swatter. I asked him where it was. He told me he couldn't get it from Grandma. Mom mom following into the bathroom told me he wanted water in a cup, or in other words "flice water". He couldn't understand what a fly swatter was, but he had in his mind exactly what flice water was. He wanted a cup of water thinking the the fly would buzz around the cup and land in the water and he would be able to catch it that way.

Keith is Official!!!

I am proud to say that Keith is finally and officially a licensed Pharmacist!!!! He did it! And we made it through 5 years of school so he could say, " I get to go to work today!" instead of "I have to go to work today!"

Way to go Keith!!!!

Trey

Here is a quick story for you. Jenni you will appreciate this!

Last night I was laying in bed with Keith. Trey was having a real had time settling down so we were letting him run around for a few minutes. At one point he climbed on the bed with us and started kicking his feet. I scolded him telling him he needed to not kick because he could accidentally kick my tummy and hurt the baby. When he didn't stop, Keith got after him, threatening to spank him. Trey turned to Keith and said, " I'm going to kick you in the eye and then you won't be able to see me!" Keith and I looked at each other and started laughing. He had it all figured out, if his dad couldn't see him he couldn't get a spanking. I know laughing isn't right, but it was one of those times we just couldn't help it. Anyway, when we laughed Trey quit kicking and eventually settled down.

August Update

Most of you know, but some may not that back in mid June I was diagnosed with Placenta previa. Basically meaning the placenta has grown over the cervix which puts me at risk for bleeding and other complications. And I will have a c-section which I already had planned on anyway since that is how my babies are born. On July 16th I had my first bleeding episode which put me in the hospital for the day. And I am now on bedrest for the duration of my pregnancy. I am blessed to have a dad who sent my mom down to stay with me until this baby is born. I don't know how I would do it with out her. She is doing everything including getting Emma to school everyday and taking care of Trey's needs that I just can't do right now. I feel fine, but as Alice says I am a ticking time bomb just waiting to go off. Hopefully I can make it another 5 weeks which will put me at 32 weeks gestation. I'm trying to stay down, but it is easier said than done. I'm lucky to have a family who gives me such support when I need it.
