Baby Update...

We are quicky approaching Alyssa's due date! It is so hard to imagine that in just a few short weeks, we will meet our other precious baby girl. We can't wait (okay, maybe we can wait a little while longer!). On Monday, my doctor decided that I needed to stop working and stay at home on bed rest. Because of the complications I had at the end of my pregnancy with Lexi (high blood pressure, kidney and liver near-shut down) this pregnancy has been considered high risk. Although I have and continue to be completely healthy this pregnancy, the doctor feels that I need to be on bed rest to help assure that things will stay okay. So...I said goodbye to my students today and will return to teaching next fall. I have to admit, I was ready to be done working and am looking forward to a little quiet time at home before Alyssa arrives. Since I will probably have some time in the next few weeks, let me know if you have a good book or movie recommendation! More updates to come as we know more...

We will be thinking of you guys over the next few weeks and praying for a safe and healthy delivery for you and Alyssa! You are right...enjoy some quiet time before the next wild ride and sleepless nights begin! :-)

I would agree with Vanessa on this one. Only about 250 pages into Twilight and loving it! I will pass it along as soon as I finish!
p.s. Thanks again for the cheese delivery!

oh Amy, ENJOY this quiet time! It's total chaos once #2 arrives. Amazing, but crazy all at the same time. Terry often has to remind me, this is a really hard time...but also the only time we will ever do this. It's so true...they change and grow so quickly. Prop your feet up and enjoy!

I read all three of Emily Giffin's novels before I had Lucy. Fun, Quick, Girly reads!!
