Finally

Well it has taken a while but I have a moment to write, so bear with me and I will give you all the updates I can get in.

Thursday's test and OB appointment went well. We were good to go and got a pass to go to KC for LTC. We took off at 1:30 or so and got there around 5. We were able to go out to dinner with some friends. Andrea and Karl arrived around 10:30 and we all crashed somewhere around midnight.

Friday - we had a relaxing morning of swimming and playing with Andrea and Karl. Andy had board meetings and such so he did not get to play with us. We had a good time and got everything ready for the kids arrival around 3. They all got to KC safely and from there things being to speed up. We feed 60 in the suite and them all went our separate ways to participate in different events. We all got back to the room and in bed by midnight.

Saturday came early - we had kids and adults that needed to be down stairs at 7 so we opened the suite for breakfast at 6:30. We got everyone feed and to their destinations by 9:30. I did not feel so well. I was worried that I might be in labor! I stayed in the room till after lunch with a stomach ache and what I though might be contractions. After spilling my guts I felt much better and rested for a little while and then out the door with the kids after lunch for more contests and such. I could not have made it through Saturday morning without Andrea and Lisa. They really saved my tail. I know the kids where wondering what was going on - the boss was not there to tell them what to do. It all went well and we did not have the baby in KC (thank you GOD!)

All the events were completed around 4:30 and most of the kids headed home, Andrea and Karl got off to the airport around 5:30 and Braxton and I headed down for the closing ceremonies. It was a very long day. We left KC around 9:30 after Andy's board meeting. We got home at 1. It was a long day - but knowing that we are training the leaders of tomorrow make it all worth while.

Sunday - Easter - with the late arrival I did not get the basket put together so I got up that morning and put it together while dad and Braxton got their shower and bath. Braxton was excited to have some new toys and was ready to go. We had breakfast and got our lessons ready for Bible Class. We actually made it church on time even after all that. We came home and had Easter lunch with Colby and Lisa. After lunch we put the awards together and planned out the banquet for the LTC kids for that evening. They left around 2 and we decided to meet at 5 to set everything up. We got a 2 hour nap - it was wonderful.
Back to church for a lesson and the awards for the LTC kids - home again at 9:30 and to bed.

Monday - Early doctor appointment for stress test - it was all okay. We go back on Thursday for another OB check and stress test. We rested and played. Rosa and Logan came over to play so their parents could go on a date - Andy and I will be doing the same on Saturday. Weekly call from Andy's parents and then to bed.

Tuesday - Rest. We did not have anywhere to be! Started getting everything in order around the house for the arrival of Brazos. 2 weeks left and still some things that need to get done. The doctors office called to let me know that Braxton had an elevated test and they would like to see him again. We will go in tomorrow to check his weight and see if we need to be referred to a GI specialist. I will let you know tomorrow how that all turns out. Andy got home and we went to the mall to get a couple of outfits for Brazos to wear home from the hospital. It is time for bed!
I will try to keep up a little better this week. Just had a long couple of days!
