It has been many months since we took our computer to the Doctor, and still, I have no computer in my house. It's been rough. I have so many pictures that I need to post and no way to post them. I guess I could go up to Craig's office and use his brand new Mac, but I have no idea how to use the thing. So, sorry that I have no pictures to show, but here is an update on what has been going on.
As far as the pregnancy goes, everything, well almost everything, is okay. I have been having contractions for the last few weeks, so on Monday, the Dr checked me and I was dilated to a 2! Since I am only 31 weeks, we really need to try and keep this baby from coming out for at least 5-6 more weeks. I am now on light duty at work, and will be going part-time in 3 weeks. I am also taking this medication called Terbutaline to help slow them down. So far the medication has helped, however, it hasn't completely stopped them. The medication is awful! It makes me shaky and it causes my heart to beat really fast. The baby however is doing great. The ultrasound showed the baby to weigh about 3 1/2 pounds, which is pretty big for 30 weeks, (that's what I was when I had it done). That would be my husbands fault. He tends to make Big Babies.
The house is finally coming along! We have a basement, and this morning they will start framing it out. The concrete guys are also starting today on the slab, which means that plumbing and the rest of the frame work will begin at the first of next week. It has been a long time coming, so it is so nice to have finally gotten it started. The estimated move-in month is June, but good weather could mean a May move-in date. The baby will already be here of course, so the sooner the house is ready, the better.
Craig is unbelievably busy at work, so I don't get to see him as much as I would like to, but being busy is good when you own your business, so I won't complain. Mason and Reece are both getting over ear infections and sinus infections, which was a load of fun for everyone involved. Other than that, they have been great. The weather has been so nice the last few days, which has meant lots of jumping on the trampoline and bike riding, and I have been slowly going through the kids closets, and taking things to Goodwill. It feels so good to be clutter free.
I guess that is about it for now. I will try and post pictures of the kids and the house as soon as I either get a computer or I can talk Craig into downloading them for me on his computer. My guess is that it will have to wait until I get a new computer.
This is a picture of how my kids look on a daily basis. People always comment on how Reece and Mason are always so put together, with there clothes ironed and their hair fixed. This is a true representation of what goes on behind closed doors.
We love you Eric! We have worn out our #12 jerseys this year.
Our Basement
This picture should really be at the end, because it is a picture of the forms that were set for the slab that will be poured next week after the plumbing is done. This is our house without walls.
Before we broke ground.
