Branden and Amanda Visit

Setting the Record Straight

I have been hearing some inaccuracies in what people have been saying about this pregnancy and below is to set the record straight. Yes, it has been a completely different pregnancy this time, but really all in all I know lots of people who have it worse. I have had no morning sickness and very lucky to have such wonderful summer weather (it could have been so much hotter).

Here is my hospital visits for this pregnancy and the results

• 18 Weeks - Errupted Vericose Vein in my Uterus. Potentially serious, but since my bleeding stopped immediately I have had no further complications. I was restricted from work for one week and then back to my regular routine.
• 34 Weeks - Had the flu and went in for IVs/fluids. Once I was given some anti-nausea meds the whole world was a nicer place. I was in over night because the dehydration was causing some minor contractions. Really this was not a big deal.
• 36 Weeks - We were only at the hospital a few hours and sent home for false labor. Better safe than sorry they said. It was interesting because the power went out while we were there and got to drive home during the big "ike storm of Cincinnati."

So, really all of these visits ended in the baby and me being just fine. No worries everyone.

Zakk and Zoe

Look at how cute Zakk and Zoe are playing in her tub-o-balls football goal toy. They would sit on the inflatable part and I would bounce them up and down.

Colin and Zoe

Colin and Zoe had a lot of fun haning out. They went to the Zoo and the Museum Center. Aren't they cute.

Visiting Family

We had a great time visiting my mom and dad this weekend. Zoe was so worn out that she didn't want to wake up this morning. I went to get her out of bed and she said, "no, no, no, more sleep." It is too bad that it is still so cold outside, but I am sure it will warm up soon. Can you beliveve there is going to be more rain this week. Wowsers.
