We spent 6-7 hrs today helping the Bean family pack their moving truck. I was in charge of watching the three boys, who were 3 and under, since I am pregnant & can't really help move. But Andrew, Coleman, and Daniel behaved pretty well and got along pretty good. That family will be greatly missed!

The Bean Family Farewell

Yesterday we went to Buffalo Wild Wings for a going away party for Brian, Jessica, and Coleman Bean. It was my first time eating there and was pretty good. There were a lot of people that showed up! I know they will be greatly missed by many!
   Today we are heading over to the Bean's house at noon to help them finish packing and to help load everything I'm the UHual.

A Nice Little Break

Today I had an appointment with WIC at 12:40. Drew had today off so him & Andrew stayed home. I left home a little after 11 and dropped some pants by a friend's house then headed off base. I know it is not the best decision but I went to lunch by myself at McDONALD'S. After my appointment I went to CVS & got 3 packs of diapers for Little Lilly and then went to KMart to check out their baby stuff. While looking at everything a guy with a camera and a lady came up to me and started interviewing me to be on the 6:00 news. I purposely started messing up so they wouldn't put me on... Haha. Guess it worked because I never saw it on the local news! (Unless I got the wrong channel)
   I returned home and dropped everything off just to go back in to town alone for Relief Society Night at church. We had a Chocolate Party. There were a lot of yummy desserts. But on the way home I was feeling sick to my stomach. Too many sweets! Haha. Although I honestly did not have that many. :)

UltraSound

Today I woke before Drew left for work & was not able to go back to sleep. Not long after he left I heard the garage door open and then close. So I laid in bed a little confused but he came up and told me he had the day off to go with me to the doctor. Drew fell asleep pretty much as soon as he sat in the chair in the ultrasound room. But the technician told me since I was high risk pregnancy that I get to have this extra ultrasound. But he checked everything & said it all looked good. He said the baby was.measuring put to be about 6 pounds. And he was not able to confirm the gender because of the positioning of the baby.

Dr Called This Morning

Well the nurses have apparently been trying to call me since Friday with results from my blood work last week. Drew called me & told me they called his phone & wanted me to call them back as soon as possible. I finally was able to get a hold of them & they scheduled me for a ultra sound for tomorrow at 2! Just hoping to find out more of what is going on tomorrow. No one really knows anything about it except my mom. But I did ask for an unspoken prayer request on Facebook. I will let everyone know more after tomorrow. I have sort of half way packed my hospital bag with some clothes for Lilly & I, just incase.
  I did look up some stuff on Google about pregnancies with high antibodies and found out that the Dr's will allow you to carry the baby til they feel the baby is at too big of a risk & then induce labor. I have about 4 weeks and 5ish days left to go and just hope to carry as long as possible. Also read that the risks go up with each pregnancy after.
   But today I have felt Little Lillian move a lot today. :) I guess a good thing that has come from this is another chance to see our sweet baby in another ultra sound. And guess this will be another confirmation of baby being a girl.

Mother's Day

Yesterday was Mother's Day & we made it to church even a few minutes early. The nursery ended up not needing help from me or Drew, we usually each stay an hour & help. After church the women of the ward got to enjoy a cupcake. Andrew came in the Relief Society Room & snuck one off the table. He licked the top of it so no body would want to take it back. But luckily there were extras anyways. Andrew handed me a potted plant (well soil with a seed in it) and he looked at me with a serious look on his face & said... "There is a seed in the middle and it will grow into a flower, but you have to water it. I will be your helper."
Ahh, Andrew is such a Sweet Heart! Seriously I love that boy more & more everyday.

It is Monday night now (well technically Tuesday morning since it is 1:25 AM) But this evening Drew took me to WalMart to get a pedicure. This was my second time ever getting one. (the last time was nearly 7 yrs ago when I pulled a ligament in my foot) but it was so nice! It cost $30 + I gave the lady a $5 tip. The chair that I sat in was a massage chair so that felt good on my back! Before going Andrew suggested that I get them painted yellow... U was wanting like a bright pink or orange though. Well I was look through the colors they had and could not find one I liked... Until I found a bright yellow! So Andrew loved my toes. :) but if I go again before having Lillian then I will see if I can bring my own paint for them to use. :) They just did not really have any bright colors like I was hoping for. But I am thankful for a caring and loving husband to give me such a gift for Mother's Day!

It is Mother's Day weekend and this evening Drew and Andrew took me out to dinner at the restaurant of my choice. I chose Olive Garden. And surprisingly it was cheaper than what we expected! I think the total bill was $33.00 and some change. We also left a $10 tip. And another thing that was very surprising was that we did mot have to wait at all to be seated! Usually on a normal night it is a 20-40 minute wait! This was our second time eating there since living in Minot.
