My Belly on moving day

it was hard to carry stuff ;)

Ok, ok, I know I ALREADY stink at blogging!!

So I guess I should actually blog, if I'm gonna "start" a blog to keep in touch.....! So the last month has been really hectic here in LA. I was put on bed rest for 2 weeks, we bought a house, moved out of the apartment and moved in! With me being on bed rest that wasn't the easiest move I've made..... I know what you are all thinking "if she was on bed rest why didn't she have time to blog?" OK so it's not like I didn't have the time, it was more like I didn't know what to say. I guess me getting rejected from the cruise was good for a number of reasons. First about six weeks ago I started having a little spotting and cramping, which is somewhat normal and I already knew I had a low lying placenta so that ups the odds of that. Well needless to say, after it was persistent for a couple weeks (I was still feeling him move...), I ended up in Labor & Delivery 2 times in two weeks (the second time there was a little clotting, which I was more nervous about). Both times it was crazy, I heard other women giving birth..... Let's just say I'm not sure I EVER want this little guy to come out!!! I was there for about three hours both times hooked up to mommy and baby monitors, it was actually kinda fun to hear him kicking and moving around. He is very active. ANYWAYS.... the final prognosis was that they were making me a high risk pregnancy (my placenta was .8 centimeters away from the cervix and it had a hemorrhage) and they wanted me in bed for at least two weeks, until I could go see the H.R Dr. Well, poor little Debbie, she was so worried. I mean I guess everyone was. So I was a pretty good girl and stayed mostly in bed and let other people do the packing and moving... My last apt was on the 10Th with the H.R Dr, final results? She said "God must be watching over this pregnancy, your placenta is 6.1 centimeters and I see no signs of the hemorrhage." When Greg and I went we were both so scared they were going to put me on permanent bed rest, which would have been AWFUL!!! It was a miracle, really it was. Thanks to my family for all their fasting and prayers. They are awesome and the best family ever!! :) So now back to life. Which means the last two weeks I've been cleaning a new house, unpacking CRAP, and waiting for Greg to come home.... He was in New York. I'm guessing the next couple week hold the same for me. FUN. Oh to be on bed rest again and have the R.S. fairies come and do all the work.... Wouldn't it be nice.. JK they did come, they did TONS, but there is still all the JUNK....:(, I love our ward! So Greg is leaving next Wednesday for Malaysia, he'll be gone a week. That stinks. I guess I'll get everything done while he's gone. Then Cherry, Cody and Carter are coming to stay with us for almost a week, so I HAVE to be done by then.... Anyhoo, I'm done rambling for today. :)

I hate Cruises.

So since December or early January my mom and I have been planning to take my dad and Greg on a cruise to Alaska. I have been working with the agent, cause my mom was trying to keep it a surprise for my dad. Well when I found out I was pregnant I told the guy and he said, "unless you are in your third trimester you are ok to go." I was like sweet, I won't be. Well after Greg did some research it turns out Princess cruises has a policy that if you are more that 24 weeks along you can't cruise. well, that is only the middle of your second trimester, I will be 27 weeks by the time we would get back. they are refunding mine and Gregs tickets, which is nice. They will usually only refund the 'sick' persons. I'm really bummed. I have been looking forward to this trip for six months!! I can't believe it, even with a doctors note stating good health you can't go. :( Oh well I bet cruises suck anyway. I mean there have been a lot of people falling off lately. I guess I can be consoled in the fact that I know I will be safe ashore. I HATE CRUISES.
