Panic






okay so after a case of streching pain in hte middle of the night, I felt funny yesterday. and after several sprites, I felt like the baby wasn't moving as much as she souhd have been. I worked myself into a panic and brad took me to the dr. after we got in the car about half way there she started moving jsut fine. But I was still worked up so we went ahead and went all the way to the dr. We got there and tehy said it wa fine that we came in, that it was better to get things checked out then to worry all weekend. they tried to monitier her, but while they could hear her heart beat she kept moving away. making it very hard to get their strip of heart beats. So they said they were sure everything was fine, but they wanted me to be sure so they sent me to get a ultra sound.
In the ultra sound they look for 4 things. She gets 30 minutes to have a good heart beat they can see, her practice breathing, good fluid, and her making good movements with her arms and legs. they get two points for each thing she has. She got all of her 8 points in like 3 minutes. Everything was great. So since we still had 25 minutes they did a couple of 3D pictures. Which was neat.
dr. owen came in and told us that all looked good, so he jsut wanted to get a good monieter done. So the Nurse practitiner came in and stood there holding the belly so that the baby couldn't move away from the moniter. After they got a good strip, she left, and the baby did another 10 minutes on her own with no one holding her still. in hte end, everythign was fine. they didn't make fun of me for worrying, and now I know that everything is fine and can relax for the weekend.
Yes you can laugh at me all youw ant, but after last year, I would rather go in and get moniters then to just assume everything is fine. The other nice thing is the cool pictures of the baby

Annevsary's and baby firsts

Image
Okay, let see, our 4th annavsary was this week. We have been married four years. It feels a little longer. I guess we have just packed alot into it and that makes it seem longer. I am really very happy/glad, that I married brad. He has been supportive when I have been flipping out. He takes care of me, and needs me, he is calmed by me when he is flipping out, he has created the cutest little bear with me, we have shared laughs, football games, Musicals, movies, TV shows, books, basketball games, tears, hardship, lack of funs... in short, the better and the worse, the richer and the poorer, the sickness and the health, alaughter and the sorrow, I married a very specail man and I am truly blessed because of it. I can't thank God enough that He saved bard for me. As for First, this week the baby slept all night for the first time. We fed her at 9:00 pm, put her down and she doesn't get up til around 7:30. (of course if we get up early and start moving around she wakes up too) but ...

Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Sanity

Okay so this week has been a little wild. Between getting ready for testing at school. Trying to keep students who are ready for summer focused. PMSing, Brad having his huge action research proposal due yesterday and many other little things, I have felt just the slightest bit overwhelmed. I will say that Sanjya finally got voted off American Idol. He couldn't sing, coldn't dance and there and there was really no reason he made it this far above and beyond that people wanted to see what crazy thing he would do each week. Well finally they got it through their heads that he coudln't sing and sent him packing, me and Simon Cowl were thrilled. Please continue to pray for brad, his feet and shins are still bothering him. wE think it is shin splints but we are not sure. He is giving them the 2-4 week rest period that shin splints need and if they don't get better he will go to the dr. as I mentioned above, testing starts next week, here in teh state of Kentucky, and th...
