Baby and Basement UPDATE

Well, thankfully the day got better.....things can always get worse, so you have to be optimistic, right?!

Shelby and I made it to my appointment...we had to scarf our lunch before going in and were driving into the gas station on fumes, but we made it none-the-less. Baby McWilliams is doing great, and so is Mommy. I gained 4 lbs in a month, but overall only 8, so that is good--had to be the chocolate from Easter. My BP was low again-112/62 and Baby's heartbeat was at 141. The cool news is I get to skip a whole week! We were originally going by my chart which put me due on September 3rd. Well, I have been for the last 4 visits, measuring a week ahead of that date. He feels confident in saying I will be due around August 27th now. WHOO HOO--only 5 days after Brad's birthday, so he's pretty stoked. It just means I am one week closer now. Next month I have the dreaded Glucose screening...so now that orange drink will be staring me in the face. I hate those drinks! It was a great appointment, though.

We got home around 5:00-ish and the driveway was plum covered in dirt and the hole that was so huge when we left was now covered up. Brad was nearly asleep when we came in (can't imagine how his day went), but he hopes it is all fixed. He did find some tree branches that had pushed their way into the foundation a bit, but once he pulled the dirt/mud out, the pressure eased up downstairs and it wasn't leaking so bad. He ended up tarring the cracks up, and is hoping to get the cracks in the basement siliconed once it is totally dried up. Looks much better tonight then it did last night, that is for sure. He also went out and got the trees that Mom and I ordered from the NRCS--lots of trees. He even had the ambition to get some planted tonight. He seems to be an over-achiever lately...Spring Fever!!

I am very tired and still have to put some clothes away so I can pack to head to Great Falls tomorrow...we are hoping to be out of here NO LATER than Noon, but 10:00 would be even better. I know, I know....I have this thing that I have to put the clothes away so I know where they are so I can pack easier...retarded I know!

Thanks for the well wishes and prayers...it's been great knowing you are all there!!
Good Night!
