Thanksgiving Day!

We had a great day spent with family and friends. We ate way too much great food followed by great desserts. We got to visit all afternoon which was a nice break from our busy lives The kids played hard all day and are completely exhausted tonight. It won't take long for them to crash for the night.

I hope you all had a fabulous Thanksgiving with family and friends. May God's Blessings continue to flow in all of your lives.

Feeling Better

Thank you all for your prayers and support! I am feeling much better, still fighting the queasiness a bit but I can live through it. The stomach cramps are still there but are much less painful and far between. I honestly think I either ate something the baby didn't like or have a touch of the stomach flu that no one else in the family got. I am ready for this pregnancy to be over and I still have 27 weeks to go. Joy!

A Day at the ER

Once again this pregnancy is taking its toll. I woke up at 1:30am with horrible stomach cramps and nausea. The pain was so severe it kept me up most of the night. By 8:00am my stomach hurt so bad that I had no choice but to head to the hospital. I dropped the kids off at Mom's and Matt took me to the ER at the closest county hospital (I was not about to go to the base for something that could be serious).

It was quite a long day (made worse by the stomach cramps and nausea), the ER was flooded with patients. I had a battery of tests run: an ultrasound, blood drawn and a urine sample. The tests came back fine. The baby is fine and moving around during the ultrasound. The doctor is not sure why I am having such bad cramps. It could be the stomach flu, something I ate (but highly unlikely since no one else is sick), or the early stages of appendicitis. We have to see how I feel in the next 24 hours to determine if my appendix needs to come out.

We appreciate your prayers and support through this rocky pregnancy. We will let you know how I am feeling over the weekend.

Cutie Pies!

Somedays the kids are just way too cute. Today was one of those days. Chloe has been asking to have her hair curled so last night after her bath we put in the curlers. She was also sporting a new outfit so I thought I would take a picture before she lost all her curl (her hair is so fine that it won't hold curls for more than a few hours).


Aidan was just being a clown as usual. As soon as he saw the camera he began to ham it up. Too funny! He has recently discovered that he likes having his picture taken although I am sure he has no idea what that little silver box does.
