Our Day of "Rest"

I of course say that because our rest has been few and far between. Our night went something like this.
•11:00 p.m.- Zach took a percocet, I emptied his drain and we collapsed into bed.
•1:00 a.m- Bathroom run
•3:00 a.m.- Bathroom run #2
•5:00 a.m.- More meds for Zach
•7:00 a.m.- We were basically up for good.

It took forever for us to join the land of the living. I don't think I took a shower until almost noon!
Zach's mom and sister came with our niece. She was definitely a nice distraction from everything because she is so sweet and funny, but our talking really hurt Zach's ears for some reason. ( and stop your laughing, we weren't even that loud, his poor head just couldn't handle the four of us. I got to run out to Target quickly while they were there to get movies Zach wanted. He was so happy when he saw I found them. I bought the A Team and (much to my future regret) Blazing Saddles. Trust me though, if you saw how puny he is, you would have too.

Overall he has been very sore today and he felt really awful when I changed his dressings. I am so glad I was able to care for him today and we are just praising God for his healing. We are thankful that Zach hasn't vomited or felt nauseous and pray that he would continue to not have those symptoms.

One big request we have for tonight is that Zach has just developed a fever. : (. This is what we were hoping to avoid, but he has it, so we're handling as best we can. Also pray for a more peaceful night, even though it seems that it won't be. God is good though and I am glad we are in the comfort of home and not in the hospital!

Goodnight everybody!

Family room re-do featuring.... my curtains! : )

For a while now, we've planned on finally finishing our family room.  That's right, it's kind of been unfinished for the entire time we've lived there.  It was painted and decorated, just no molding and the ceiling was hideous because we (and by we, I mean Zach) took down the drop ceiling the previous owners had put up.  So, anyway, I looked at curtains and didn't really find anything I liked, so I decided I was going to make my own.  Zach and I looked at Jo-Ann's a couple times and each time we looked I liked this fabric more and more.  It was the most expensive fabric I've ever bought, but in the end, it was sooooo worth it! (*Note- I bought the fabric in January before NSM! : )) Here we are at Mama Joyce's one day after church cutting the panels.  I think we were all nervous to cut it.  It was too costly to mess up! Fast forward a couple weeks because I didn't have time, was lazy, and also scared to sew on it, and I finally just delved in an...

Turns out...

Third grade is not bad at all! The kids are still pretty sweet and are so excited for me to be there and I am excited too! I think it will be fun to see all that they can do and have fun with them. Yesterday I received 5 notes on my desk about how excited that I was there and about how much fun we were going to have. I think they are right! Hopefully I get the hang of them quickly, because I start teaching Science (Mon and Wed), Social Studies(Tues and Thur), and PE (Fri) next week!

Bumpdate: 41 weeks!

How Far along: 41 weeks.   Baby's size: Size of a jack fruit!  Around 7.5 lbs. (I think he's going to be about 8 lbs and Zach's official guess is 9 lbs. 2 oz.  I hope he's wrong!) Weight loss/gain: 30 lbs. (So glad the weight gain is slowing down!) Sleep: I told Zach I no longer am even trying to keep track of how much I am getting up to go to the bathroom. Gender: B-O-Y Movement:  He has been back to his super active little self this week.  Best Moment of this week:  Getting to spend time at home together now that we're finished with the old house.  Also, the 3 day weekend!  We didn't sleep in, much, but we figure that's all about to end anyway! Looking Forward: Getting to meet our baby boy.  I think it will be a little weird, because I truly don't feel like I'm finished being pregnant yet.  But, alas, we pretty much have to follow Dr.'s orders. Food cravings: Still pineapple!  ...
