• Good evening.

  
  

  Well I've had a lovely week.  None stop contractions since Thursday night.

  
  

  The baby is moving lots.   This comforts me.

  
  

  The pain is fairly unbearable.   At the moment their "quieter" then they've been.   But not by much.

  
  

  We had an adoptive party for Mari last night.  Grandma and Grandpa bought him a HUGE stuffed pony.   He didn't put it down for over an hour and half.  *giggles*

  
  

  Adoptive party is what Kaylin called it.   She informed grandma very seriously.  "This is not a birthday party it is an adoptive party."   Grandma asked her if she knew what adoption was.   Kaylin just stared at her.

  
  

  The party was low key just my parents & their kids (my kids & I's shared siblings)   And us.   But it was a nice way to celebrate.   And as a special suprise for Mari we brought our "real" pony home to stay for the summer.  He was quite delighted to see Hogust again.

  
  

  The pony's name is August.   Zeria couldn't say that when she was 2.   She called him Hogust.   We have desperately tried to convince them recently that is *NOT* the pony's name.

  
  

  We're just boring old parents...how could we possibly know the right name.   So we'll just stick to Hogust.

  
  

  I baked bread Thursday.  It was lovely (definitely NOT low-carb)  That was when my contactions started...

  
  

  Guess I won't be doing that for awhile.

  
  

  Done a bit of praying this week, and have no definite answers to the questions.

  
  

  Very emotional thanks to the pain level I'm coping with.  I will probably be scarce on the boards as a result.  I will try to peruse the stories, but no promises.   One can only function through so much pain.....

  
  

  On a up note.   The SS books I ordered for our adult class were finally passed out today.   People had the option to pay or not.  We (Rob and I)  swallow what isn't paid.    Normally its not that big of a deal.  I've had the books for over a month. 

  
  

  But today like 6 people paid.   That was very very nice.  I have $46 to go towards life.    I currently dreaming of spending it 12 ways.  *snicker*   Pony's halter is missing...probably should spend some money that way.   *sigh*  Every winter he goes to grandma's with a halter and a new stake rope.   Every summer he comes back without. 

  
  

  My other purchase I'd love to get is something I can sit in comfortably outside that I can get out of comfortably as well.  My lovely lawn chair gives me contractions.  Its too low to the ground and I have to squat to get out majorly antagonizing my pelvic floor.   Sooo I'm gonna go stare at the lawn and garden section of Walmart tomorrow and see what I can find....

  
  

  Rob's major purchase this month will be new jogging shoes.   He's planning on running a marathon in two weeks...and his old shoes are mostly dead.   I hate buying him new shoes.   They are sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo expensive.   We'll wait until the 10th (another pay day)  and bite that bullet.

  
  

  Other then that life goes on.  Didn't do school with the kids the last part of the week....something about pain.   Gotta figure out what to do about that.  

  
  

  One baby step at a time.
