The unofficial vacation post....

We made it home late friday night and I spent most of the weekend trying to recover from a very busy/itchy 9 days. After an afternoon in the ER Saturday I apparently have Puppps dont know what that is? Neither did I because apparently only about 1% of pregnant women get it, I was one of the unlucky ones. It started the day we left and spread to my entire body the ER doctor told me he thought I would have to bathe in hydrocortizone to make any impact so he pperscribed me some steriods (prednizone) and sent me on my way. I'll see the OB tommorow and see what he says but I can already see a noticeable difference and got an impressive 5 hours of uninteruped sleep last night. That has been the worst part I was determined not to let this impeed on our vacation but night time was tourture I didnt sleep for days. So besides that we have just been relaxing happy not to be living out of a suitcase. I promise I will post a nice long update with the ten tons of pictures I took but for now I'll leave you with this fammily shot from the wedding, because I have laundry and a weekend of "I dont feel like it" mess to deal with.



And as I am suremany of you are I'll ask you to lift baby Stellan in your prayers, I was really dissapointed when I checked MCK expecting to catch up on some fun pictures and great blogs, and instead got the news that he is yet again in the hospital, pray for him and the whole family that they are surrounded by the great ammount of love and strength they need for this.


Prayers for Stellan

Great news.....

I just got back from the Specialist OB and they could not find any trace of the Renal Cyst. She still just has the one kidney (and is functioning very well) which we expected but the cyst reabsorbing so quickly means no intervention at birth and no need for any surgery! She will see her regular pediatrician and he will probably want to have her checked out by a urologist at some point but there is no need for any urgency. We are so relieved and grateful for all of the prayers, and thanks be to God for answering our prayers!

This is a great way to start our vacation I am happy to be leaving town with peace of mind that everything is tip top with me and the baby. That said boy do I have alot of work to do, laundry, packing, cleaning oh my :D sorry to post yet again without any pictures but I promise I will have a boat load when we get back. The wedding is going to be beautiful and its going to be awesome to see all of the cousins and second cousins together for the first time. We are going to do all kinds of fun stuff while we are there, Mack is going to loose it when we see the sharks at the Newport aquarium, The Beach waterpark will be a great time and I am super excited about the antiques in Lebanon, Warren county is know for the shopping (if only I had a Uhaul ;) ) and maybe if Daddy is luck I will suffer through the football hall of fame. Anyway we are going to have alot of fun and some much needed family time, just wish me luck I may need a vacation from my vacation when this is all done.

Is there such a thing as word-full Wednesday?

I usually NEVER post without pictures but since I am coming to you live, feet propped up, watching my kids play/scream through a nice soundproof window at the heaven I know as Chick fil a, via Daddys laptop I dont have access to any pics. So today is my Word-ful Wednesday.This is now the fourth night in a row Daddy has worked late and we are sorely missing him. This is the time of year that unfailingly test my patience as a mother and our relationship, but what elses can youi expect for an AC guy in 100 degree plus weather. And truly I am so grateful the work is coming in and we are making the extra because I am sure like all of the rest of you things are tight, and all of this work is allowing us this nice vacation and new school supplies and clothes for Mack. I am just so gratefull to have such a hardworking wonderfull husband and although its hard not to focus on the negative side of him being so busy I cant help but praise God for the oppurtunities he allows us. Now I am going to eat my brownie and check the rest of the blogs, while I ignore those crazy children in the playground that I certainly dont know.
