Monday Musings

Let's see...

• My mom is out of the hospital.  She was admitted last Wednesday for a high fever and she was released Sunday with lots of medicine and no sure cause.  They ran a lot of tests and cultures and all of it came back normal so I think we are still stumped as to what it was.  They ran tests looking for bacteria but they all came back normal, so I am thinking it was viral and had to runs it's course.  She is on strict orders to not go back to work until her chemo treatments are complete (9 weeks).  We are so grateful that they signed her on to a one year contract to work from home when all of this began to happen.  It is so easy for chemo patients, since the chemo kills everything, to pick up any little virus, cold, etc. 
• I have been so anxious to meet this baby, way more anxious then I was with Brax (not that I wasn't ready to meet him but I do not think that it started this early in the pregnancy).  I love being pregnant, like really love it, but I am so ready to meet and hold this new little one!  We have NOTHING done to prepare for the baby (well we have the nursery cleared out) but that's about it, but I am still ready! I am 21 weeks today, if I make it to term (my delivery date that he has scheduled) then it is only 18 weeks and two days away--I can make it right?!?! I guess I do not have a choice, hehe.  In the coming weeks we will get a crib, move the changing table from Brax's room to the baby's room, and so on.  I am also so thankful that I get the WHOLE summer with my kiddos!  Brax will probably still go to Mrs. D's house two days a week (If I can manage to get him there alone) just to give me a little time to recover but I have already been thinking about things that we can do, even with the little one!  
• Friends--Love them-couldn't live without them!  This weekend I got to hang out with a friend that I have been friends with since sixth grade.  She does not live in the area anymore but she came in for the day and we got to go to lunch and come back to my house and just hangout and talk.  It was so nice to catch up with her and it is so great to know that even though we do not talk everything or see each other but maybe 3-4 times a year we are still friends!  Love her! 
• Double Date!!!!!!!!  We have not been very good at keeping up with our date time, but this weekend we went on a double date, sans Braxton, and we had a blast!  They live in east Texas too so it is hard to see them as often as we would like but when we do we love it!  I worked with Karmen in college and we hit it off and when we introduced our husbands they were like long lost cousins/brothers who have a lot of stuff in common so it works out great!  They recently got married and we were so excited to share that day with with!

Ok enough rambling for Monday morning.... I have some cute pictures of Brax but I am currently sharing batteries between our computer mouse and our camera so I have to wait! haha.
