Oh, the Excitement!

We have had a busy week, it started out rough, but has definitely gotten better!
We started Sunday in the ER. Or actually, I did. I was having very strong contractions (5-7 min. apart for more than 3 hours) and at the recommendation of the on-call OBGYN decided it was better to go in and make sure everything was ok. It was. Baby's heartbeat was strong and fast, and I FINALLY felt it move. Turned out to be infection and probably a little dehydration. So as of today, they have stopped!

Jackson had his first day of preschool, the mom's were all there today too. So he will be on his own on Tuesday. But he loved it. He participated and listened and everything. With only miner tears at the end. It was a lot of fun for him, he is very excited to go again... without mom. :)

I got the stitch out of my face today, woowho! And the mole was nothing more than abnormal! BIG Woo-who! So that's one less thing to worry about.

And I have finally begun to nest/unpack/decorate/organize my house! I think it has had something to do with feeling better. I am starting small, but I have some really fun projects planned. This is my first "craft" project in AZ. (It's also the first wreath I've ever made.) It was fun, Jackson helped.
And this shelf is in my living room.
Been hanging things and organizing things. It feels good to at least start, and it feels a little more like home.

Tomorrow I have my 20 week apt., our ultrasound got pushed out a week due to Patrick's schedule changing, so keep watching for the BIG announcement. And we will end the week with Jackson's first soccer game on Saturday, so there will be pics of that too! I have decided that busy is Good! :)

So happy to hear that everything is okay, both with the baby and with your mole. Woo-hoo! :)

Love the wreath you made. Your house is probably more decorated than mine and I've been here for 3.5 years. LOL! Can't wait to see more pics and especially can't wait to find out what you are having. THINK PINK, THINK PINK, THINK PINK! lol! :)
