What the..

We are still in Minnesota, in the middle of no where. We had a really rough flight connecting to Arizona, then a 3 hour delay. Yuck.
I looked down at my feet this morning and said, in Jason's words," what the eff?" My feet are all puffy. JUST a day after I went and saw my massage therapist and he not only complimented me on how I look, but, that my ankles look wonderful! Gosh I hope this is just from traveling...

..more to come later.

:( Sad Day

Well it was 2 weeks ago that we got the news that Dan's grandpa had up to 6 months to live.
He passed away this morning after going to the hospital for some things. We dont want to act like we are surprised, but we honestly werent expecting to go back for a funeral. So that threw us. Dan did get to see his grandpa in May, and spent some time down there ( Dan is the oldest grandson on his mom's side )
He was around 69 or 70 I believe, and died of lung cancer. His wife is still living, as well as her 3 boys and 1 girl ( Dan's mom )

Vacation

Yes we are still alive :)
We've been in Leavenworth on our family vacation for the past week..we've been going for 13 years now. It's been great and very relaxing to just hang out at the pool and river.
We do leave on Wednesday for Minnesota and we'll be gone for one week.
Baby is doing great, she's very wiggly and really knows how to kick :) Dan can feel her kick on the outside now, which is fun.
Weird that it's September this week, but I'm so ready for fall! Time is cruising by...

Add us to TEAM PINK!

Today it was confirmed that we are indeed having a girl :)
My gut was correct and we are thrilled!
She is measuring ahead by a week, so I'm not so sure if I
will still have my January 1st due date. I go back in on
Friday to hear test results and to get some prescriptions
for my gallstones *just in case* for our trip to MN.
Anyways! Yeah for us!

Half way!

I am 20 weeks today! Incredible!
And to answer some of your questions, YES, we know what the sex is, BUT we will have it confirmed and tests ran tomorrow at our ultrasound, then we will announce it.
NO we will not be telling the name, but YES we have one.
YES I still feel sick about twice a week I still throw up...sorry TMI.

On another note, Dan and I will be flying out to Minnesota on the 29th to September 5th to spend time with his grandpa...thanks to all of you who've been praying for that situation.

Also, I've been feeling fine in regards to my gallstones. I must have just had a random attack last week.

ps. to all my nesties who "know" things, please refrain from commenting about it on here :)

What is going on?

Well as some of you know it's been another wild week for us!
Thursday I went to Labor and Delivery because I had been in pain for 10 hours and it wasn't going away. I knew baby was ok, because baby was moving around lots. So I got there and they discovered gallstones. I wasn't prepared for this and it just threw me for a loop. The pain did go away, and I will eventually get some prescription to help me out, but I will have to get it taken out, either before or after I have this baby. Hopefully after...

Friday we had a huge yard sale with friends and headed to a movie later that night ( We saw Stardust, I highly recommend, it's neat) . But while we were in there Dan's mom had called to give us the news that Dan's grandpa ( her dad ) isn't going to live much longer. His cancer has spread to his lungs and other parts. None of us knew how bad it really was because they kept it to themselves so their kids and grandkids wouldnt worry. ANYWAYS. We hopefully will be flying out to Minnesota in the next few weeks ( praying that tickets go way way down ) to be with him, and while I am able to fly out.
So that is that.

And yes, we are still waiting to hear if we are moving or not. SO frustrating, but God is challenging me this month and I'm up for it. We've got alot on our plate and I cannot let it freak me out. Gallstones, moving, packing, flying out, and a vacation possibly all in one month. Aaack.

What a Week

Welp I am 19 weeks! Almost half way, soo nuts to think about. We had a really wild week. Dan hurt his back at work so he was out of commission for a few days but is on meds now. So I was taking care of him. Then I "woke up" an old injury of mine in my back. I knew that my back would take a major toll during this pregnancy, as it's been bad since my car accidents in 2002, but I didnt think it'd be this early. Soo Dan and I both start Massage Therapy in a couple weeks. That'll hopefully be the key for us both. I havent had a full night's sleep in months. I dont fall asleep til 3am usually, and even then I wake up tossing and turning. It's been a hard couple days because I suddenly got very sick and couldnt keep anything down. ( Just when I thought I was passed that )
So that is my update! We are looking forward to our Leavenworth vacation in a couple weeks for sure.
