Fun times with Mammaw

Little ross has truly enjoyed having my mom here to help out. They have had so much fun these past couple of days. They are on a walk now, it is his last day of being the only child. I am full of so many emotions right now which I am sure is normal.

Annie's Room

This is the finished product. A nursery for under $60. I just love it!! It made me realize that I could be girly sometimes.

BED REST IS THE BEST

So yeah I am out of bed long enough to update my blog. The past two weeks have been crazy. Last Tuesday we gave Beau, our other dog, back to my brother. So, we went from two dogs to zero. Wow, that is crazy. That is okay since I have been put on bed rest. It was so crazy for some reason I felt the preclampsia coming on but I just didn't want to see it. I just kept telling myself I was going to have a fat little baby. Well, that is not going to happen, I am going to have Annie on Wednesday May 7th. That is a day before her daddy's birthday. I told Ross Happy Birthday. the good news is the bed rest is helping. All my labs are coming back normal and my blood pressure is staying the same. It is still high but not as bad as it was when I had Little Ross. I tell you what I was really scared on Friday when they sent me to the hospital, I thought for sure they were going to induce me then. Thank Heaven for answered prayers. I Just asked Heavenly Father to let my labs be okay and to send me home on bed rest. I got what I wanted, however it hasn't been easy. Little Ross is having melt down after melt down and Big Ross is trying his best to keep it together. Well, the good thing is five days to go until, I can start helping out again. Can I just say too, how much I love the sisters in my ward. What a blessing it is to be in such a wonderful Church where people truly understand the meaning of service and the love of Christ.

A Very Hard Day

Well, the day finally came I had to give my Lilley away. To be honest I really thought that I would make some phone calls and they would all fall through. However, I knew of a family in the ward that was needing a dog. So, I offered never thinking they would go for it and they did. I couldnt believe it was really happening. I would have to say I pretty much started crying last Friday and didnt stop until Wednesday. Many people tell me it was the right thing to do but it still doesnt make it easy. She was my first dog ever, she picked me. I guess the positive note is the family that we gave her to said it is a blessing. They are hoping she can help their son that is autistic. I hope it works out for them even though I am dying inside. I was so physical upset that I couldnt even breath. I had to make myself stop for the fear of putting stress on Annie. The worst thing was Little Ross not understanding why his Gillgey was going bye bye with someone else. Him and I were the only ones crying, even Beau are other dog has been down since she has been gone. I am proud of myself I have went two days without crying. Anyway, I know it was for the best however, a big part of me wants to go and snatch her back. At least we dont have to worry anymore about her snapping at little Ross.

Zebras

This is just a quick note. Little Ross loves Zebras and he now associates our Adidas flip flops with Zebra's. I think it is because they have strips. He calls them our Zebra shoes. It just amazes me what little kids come up with.
