My Sweet Friends/Boring Week

What a boring week! I have spent 4 days in bed so far in a row and I am already going stir crazy!

But lucky me, Alyssa dropped off fun magazines to read and pizza and lasagna for the freezer, plus nail polish (even though I can't reach my swollen feet).

Then today, Stephanie dropped off a fun book of puzzles and a hang man video game! That was just the thing to exercise my brain today. It was so sweet of her to think of me like that.

And a shout out to Analisa for dropping off cupcakes and Amish Friendship bread even though it was last week--I'm still dreaming of those delicious cupcakes.

And thanks to Karen for all the cool baby clothes.

Thank you to all of you for reaching out to me through email, blog comments, texts and phone calls--Heather, Valerie, Jaime, Ashley, Alyssa, Analisa--I'm probably forgetting someone...you are all so sweet. I am so blessed to have such a wonderful group of friends. Before I lived in Washington, I never dreamed I would have so many friends who cared so much about me. You girls are so amazing and I love you all.

I have literally watched every episode of Heroes Seasons 1, 2 and 3, I'm caught up on Lost, The Office and The People's Court. I've eaten 2 bottles of Tums, drank 3 boxes of herbal tea, and spent all my Target gift cards at Target.com--all from the laptop in bed. I got cable in my bedroom this morning so now I am all set. I'm still bored but I'm trying to keep busy. I'm also doing work from bed, so that keeps me occupied.

Lucky me, also, my mom is here to take great care of me through Tuesday of next week. She's made breakfast, lunch and dinner (gourmet of course), cleaned the kitchen, taken care of my dog and helped Erik get groceries and pack my hospital bag just in case it's time to go.

It is very frustrating being stuck in bed. Think about all the things you ~have~ to do every day (excluding taking care of your kids) and imagine just sitting around in bed and not doing any of it. It's tough, let me tell you. Not to mention how physically annoying it is to only be able to lie down in bed 24/7. Not to complain too much. I know a lot of you have been through this already so I should stop whining.

I went to the doctor yesterday and my blood pressure was high and my urine was protein-ish so I'm going back in on Tuesday to see if I'm dilated. If not, we will probably discuss picking a date to induce the baby. I'm still hoping he comes early on his own but if not, I am excited about the idea that he will be born within the next 1 - 2 weeks either way. I can't imagine feeling like this for another 4 weeks. So there is light at the end of the tunnel.

Anyway thank you all for your thoughts and prayers, and support. I miss you! Just think, next time you see me I will be skinnier and I will be a mom!! Yay!!!! I bet my boobs will be way bigger too. :) haha.

Analisa's right. Get as much rest as you can now because you'll be tired the rest of your life! I am really excited that the next time I'll see you you'll have a baby though. Although boring I'm glad the end is in sight. Good luck with your appointment on Tuesday.

This post is not coming to you VIA Jennifer. This is her husband, Erik. I decided to hijack her blog (ah...the things you can do when in possession of another's password) and tell her how I feel about her. This will probably not be posted for long, I am sure as soon as she sees it she will remove it. HERE GOES! Jennifer, my dear, I love you oh so very much. On Monday is our 1 year anniversary! A whole year! That may not seem like much, but my oh my it has flown by quickly. Since you are a relative young'un that year actually represents around 4.76% of your entire lifespan(thus far). I still keep my eye out for things that represent 'US'. Who can forget the 'EJ' Truck? I have never stopped looking for, nor noting 28s as they pop up all over the place. I notice all of the little things you do. I notice the little faces you make. I notice the little noises you make. I notice the slight shifting of your posture in response to my incessant joking. This face was made...

Brandt Gibson in a Nutshell

The Amazing Kell Bjorn decided to start keeping track of everything Brandt Gibson said. Here are a select few: “I’m a horse of a different color!” “No Pain…No Pain.” “Nobody corrals me!” “Die!” “But on the other hand, you have different fingers.” “I’m not stressed, I’m not stressed; if you tell me I’m stressed…I’ll kill you.” “I parked around back in the shade, so it doesn’t get 65,000 degrees in my car.” “Yeah, things you don’t want to hear from your bank…‘Oops’.” "You've been tasered!" "Click-click-a-click...booyah!" “Blame it on Kell, it’s all his fault…It was either Kell or Canada and you’re closer.” “Girls just want to have Lu-unch…” “I have been Dudded.” (After receiving some Milk Duds) “Get out of my Chaaiirrr.” (Said with a low raspy evil voice) “Gloria’s here…ruuunnn!” “That is highly possible…just not probable.” “Gift of tongues Kell, enjoy it.” “Revenge is a dish that is best served cold.” “Don't you think? Please use this well. Marriage becomes...

Escrow

Well we found the perfect house for us on Thursday! We put the offer on today and they accepted! We expect to close the third week of March! I knew it was the right one as soon as I walked in the door. The picture below shows half the house, you can't see the whole thing on Google Earth because of the trees. It's been updated really well, but it has a few things we can still do to get more value out of it when we sell it in a few years. It's totally cute on the inside, just under 2000 square feet and has a great yard and deck. It came with some nice perks too, so we're really excited. I'll have a nice big housewarming party so you can all see it in April once we're settled in! Yay! Ok so the sad part is, we won't be in the Dash Point Ward anymore. :( We'll be in the Federal Way ward so we're still in the stake at least. It's really sad because I totally love our ward, it's awesome and I love my calling with the Young Women but at least I w...
