Life

In the last couple of weeks I have been trying to figure out if I want life to go by a little faster, or slower, today I want it to go by faster. I have once again been having contractions, not so close together, but my doctor still says that I shouldn't do anything that causes contractions, I told him I would still be taking a shower because I couldn't live for three more months without one. In other words anything I do causes contractions and I am only 28 weeks. I feel a little like going crazy! Good thing we have a great library with wonderful books and movies to rent, otherwise I would just sit and cry everyday. I have also started having migrains, and yes sometimes I wish in this pregnancy I only had to deal with one thing at a time, but I think I am to be learning a ton, and I have. One of the biggest helps has been some advice from my mom. She told me to write down 2-5 blessings that I see everyday and keep track of them. When I do this I am then more focused on the fact that life really is good, God really loves me, and I have something to look forward to. Another help has been the little emails and the amazing gift from Caroline. It helps me know that there are people out there who love and care for me, so Caroline THANK-YOU! I have to tell you when I opened the door and saw the box and opened it and saw what was in it I just bawled. It came on a particularly hard day and it made the whole day better! So a thank-you card will be on its way soon, I just wanted you to know that I received it and loved it.

Another help has been my amazing husband. He has been doing so much to keep Sarah and I going it isn't even funny. And in the midst of everything he has had to do for the house and us and work he found time to fly to Woodland, Washington and get a new job. So we are moving to Washington probably in June or July depending on when baby decideds to come, which who knows could be tomorrow, though we are hoping for May (Sarah was three weeks early so we figure this one might be early as well and with the way the contractions have been I can almost gaurentee it!) Anyway, we are really excited and are looking forward to this huge adventure. It will be weird not to be near family, but I love Seattle (which will only be 2 hours away) and Portland (30 min away!) Plus then everyone will want to come and visit us because we will have tons of fun things to do!

I ended up having a pretty good birthday, though I had to send Sarah with Elizabeth because I wasn't able to be up and handling her like I would like to, but it was really good to finally sleep. I have a hard time sleeping at night and sometimes don't fall asleep till 4 in the morning and then I just cry when Sarah gets up at 7:30, which is what happened on my birthday, but don't worry Sarah and I love to take baths and so we just bathed until Creed came home for breakfast.

In other exciting news Elizabeth gave me the best birthday present ever, she potty trained Sarah. WAHOOOO! It has been so nice to have Sarah just tell me and to not have to change diapers. I love it! She still has the occasional accident, but she is doing really really well.

All in all, life is good and enjoyable, I just have to remember to count my blessings!
