Well it has been a while since I posted anything. I've been laying around for several weeks now and I'm bored out of my mind. When I'm that bored I don't actually DO anything... strange how that is. I'm still fighting with nausea and I'm giving in more often. It is just easier to chuck up and eat something different later. Mike is helping around the house quite a lot more which I'm very grateful for. He's a good helper. Elise on the other hand... I'm sleeping in the "extra" bedroom upstairs on a lower mattress so I don't have to lift my legs up so high to get in. My bed's mattress hits the top of my thighs and when your muscles have all gone to jelly down there for moving your legs, AND my lower back needs a visit with a chiropractor, I just can't get in and out effectively without hurting myself. With all that said, I sleep alone and I don't mind it too much, but I miss Mike a lot. And I KNOW he is missing me! I really miss those fun times we were able to have not too long before we got pregnant... ah lovins... it just isn't the same. Next doctor's appointment is next Monday. I'll update again after that I guess. We should be able to find out the gender of our baby soon.
NEXT: Elise has been a great student of math. She's not struggling with reading, I am! 20 minutes a day tests my patience quite a bit. Her homework takes at least 20 to finish then we have to read on top of that. I don't know why she has to have so much homework. She's only in first grade.
Blue: doing fine, digging lots of holes in my backyard. Wants so badly to be walked and played with. I just can't do it. I'll walk her over to my in-laws to play with their dog, Dakota later on today. But that really hurts my hips, and strains my muscles a lot. I have to take it so easy, it is frustrating to everyone.
Family: I went to see Nights in Rodanthe with my mom, sister Joyce and her husband Doug. Talk about a sappy show!! I'm surprised Doug didn't cry from pain of sappiness the whole time. The ending was so predictable and so terrible. I wish that guys books would take a happier twist. Maybe he needs meds... I can suggest some great happy pills!!
We are heading to Capitol Reef tonight. Mike and I stayed there for the second night of our honeymoon almost 9 years ago. We are going down there this time for some sort of ribbon cutting ceremony for his work. They've installed a rather interesting solar set up there. Stop in and see the off-grid campus that was put in sometime!! It is really cool!
Love you all!!

Wow, I don't think I could handle sleeping by myself!!! That would mean I would have to be ALONE!!!
I am glad you are doing ok though. Sorry that pregnancy is so hard on you! I got a little dose of that with my last pregnancy as well. I was on bed rest for almost 5 months. It's enough to drive you CRAZY! You do what you have to do though. If the end result is getting a sweet little baby it makes it all worth it!
Vicki,
I am amazed at how seriously you are taking bed rest. I know that it is really hard right now, but your dedication will pay off for your little baby! Every day in the womb counts and amazing things are happening right now. You deserve a gold star for what you are doing - seriously! Hang in there. You are doing a great job and your hard work (because bedrest really is HARD work) will pay off a hundred fold. I love ya and I know you can do it!
I hear ya on the sleeping alone thing... I was on the couch for the last 2 or 3 months of my pregnancy and I missed Chris something terrible! Oh yeah, I think I told you that. Anyway, hang in there!
