Summertime

Playing at the lake for Baylie's birthday!

Swimming in Aunt Mindy's pool! Leah loved holding the frog, Sam let out a blood curdling scream and swatted it away. It was so funny.

Here it is, my first pregnancy picture so far, this time! 6months...

Ready for this

Okay so here's my story. One day I was shaving my legs about a month ago and felt something on the back of my leg, so i got out of the shower and looked in the mirror to see what the hell was going on back there. To my surprise I had a varicos vein running mid calf all the way to my butt and bulging pretty good and a blood clot, this was alarming i thought. So when i went in for my ob apointment I showed the dr. who confirmed that was i was seeing was right. Hate to do this to you in summer but you are going to have to wear compression stockings for the rest of your pregnancy, great I thought. Then i came to the realization that i was still able to walk and chase kids so what did i really have to complain about. So I went to the pharmacy got measured and they referred me to another place to order them. They came in and I struggled with them and was miserable but still wore them. Then thank god the damn things got a run in them so i took them back to the place where i ordered them from and said these things are really aweful and now after 3 weeks they have holes in them, can you replace them? I looked online before i had ordered them and i know they are over $100 a pair. I told her they were so tight and that they were cutting in on my belly and that when i took them off the baby would start rolling and moving like crazy....Well they shouldn't be riding right there, and i said that as soon as i took them off my vein would fill instantly with blood and would be uncomfortable...Well that shouldn't be happening either...I said lets go in the back and i will pull them down and show you...so we went in the back and i showed her and she measured me again... then said get those tights off of you right now. the person who had measured me had miss measured me by 4 in. around the thighs. Ok people 4 in. around the thighs is a huge difference. So i went from a size 3 to a size 6. Needless to say the baby is much happier now and so am i. I can actually breathe now, what a concept. I am still hotter than shit with compression hose that go from my toes to my boobs, but i'm dealing and sealing the deal that this is definitely the last kid. and that's my story, so if you think your hot this summer be reminded of me and know you are no where near as hot as I am, i promise you that.

So my friend just seemed to wake up yesterday and start talking even with the trach. I am so thankful and proud of her. I have been so down in the dumps for two weeks now and my heart so heavy it hurt, now i could scream yeah to the world. Thank you God for all the miracles you give to us you are trully appreciated each and every day.

If you read my blog, will you please take the time to say an extra prayer for my friend Carolyn. She is still in critical condition and I am just praying she will pull through. She needs all the love and support she can get. Thanks!

Last summer we built the stairs and this summer John has built me these awesome flower beds. I just did the planting since i can't really be much help moving rocks 6mo. pregnant. they are so beautiful and i couldn't be happier with the way they turned out.

Carolyn

I'm praying hard today. I just found out that a good friend that i swam with most of my life is in critical condition. I hope she can pull through this and it just makes me sick to my stomach when stuff like this happens so close to home. Pray for her husband and two little boys ages 2 and 2 months, cause they need their mommy back. :(

We went to see John on his job the other week and played in the lake for a while. Leah and Gray Gray caught ladybugs and then put them in the garden.
