March is almost over?

It's Wednesday again, and now I'm 31 weeks along with this tiny girl child of ours.

(Okay, technically I'm 30 1/2 weeks in this picture ... close enough though!)

It's been a bit of a crazy week. So crazy that I know I'm going to miss several items of interest because there was too much and I'm still really tired from the lack of sleep recently.

This past Saturday we got up nice and early so we could drive to Dallas and back to pick up Goose! They think she's pregnant so we'll keep an eye on her, but apparently she can still do just about everything she used to - take walks, go to the dog park, swim, etc. Maverick was especially pleased to have his buddy back home. Now they can fight over bully sticks, wrestle, and sit on top of each other all they want again :)


(on the way home)

We miraculously managed to get all of us back into Tomball about 15 minutes before Bryan's church praise band at 3:30. How awesome are we?

While Bryan was at practice, Ronnie came by with the cradle he built!! (and a mattress and sheet set to go with it) - It is GORGEOUS and just so incredibly sweet. It's hanging out in our room ready to rock Baby E to sleep as soon as she arrives. It's making things feel a bit more real for us to see it resting innocently by windows ready and yet still empty. Only 8-9 weeks left- wow.



The weekend also included a campfire with s'mores with neighbors, church, grocery shopping, dinner with Collin, Laura, Andrea & Chris, and watching one of Regan's soccer games with Aunt Jana & Garrett. It was nice. The weather is warming up so fast. This week we're back to school but only for another 7 weeks or so (how is the school year going by so fast?).

Grandma is not responding well to the chemo she received last Wednesday and was making it incredibly hard for Mom & Dad to keep her hydrated and all of her systems moving. She is also just exhausted and wiped out. Yesterday after my fiasco at Toyota (I won't talk about it because it'll only make me angry again), I headed over to the Conroe Regional Hospital to hang out in the ER with Mom & Grandma until she was admitted, and then stayed until later in the evening. (Mom stayed all night.) They've since been getting her body hydrated and cleaned out. She has slept through just about the entire thing. We hope she'll be released this afternoon feeling MUCH better. Please pray for her healing and for Mom & Dad to see improvement and know that what they are doing is right and effective. They are troopers.

I've got a doctor's appointment this afternoon to see if we can do something about this sinus & respiratory infection I've now had for close to 2 months. I was put on antibiotics but it never went away completely and it's come back worse than before. It cannot possibly be healthy for the baby to be exposed to an infection for that long. Here's to hoping we can do something about it and it will STAY gone!!

(Update: the doc gave me the only other antibiotic known to be completely safe for fetuses. Unfortunately, if this doesn't work, I'm really in trouble because she said the infection is so severe they're next move is to hospitalize me with IV antibiotics while be continuously monitored by an OBGYN. this does NOT sound like an appealing option, so please pray these antibiotics work!)

Meanwhile Maverick & Goose are getting their summer haircuts today ... can't wait to see what they look like when I pick them up :)
