Rose's Blessing

WE ended up blessing Rose at home since my dad was only here for a short time and I really wanted him to be there. It was anice day and we took a fewpictures afterward. My mom made her dress. It was perfect!

Ed and his friend showed his nephews how to make their ties

look like bow ties.

Way behind

Well it seems I'm way behind on my posts. Since my last post my little Rose has been born. She decided to scare mommy and daddy and come six weeks early.

I woke up at 3 am to find I was gushing. I knew I wasn't peeing my pants since I had gone about 15 minutes earlier. We rushed to the hospital (after waking my mom up to ask her about it) to find indeed my water had broken. They hooked me up to an IV (it took three pokes, ouch!) and started giving me penicilin and a steroid for Rose. The doctors kept me this way for two days to give the steroids time to work. I was going crazy in bed for those two days. (I now REALLY feel for those who have to be on bedrest) Finally, on Friday they let me go with a little help (half the pitocin they usually use to start you since I was already contracting)

Rose came at 1:27 in the afternoon, she was 18 in and 5 lbs. She came out and started crying right away. The doctors were very pleased since she was so early, it meant her lungs were doing well. She only spent a week in the hospital.

I was very relieved that the labor wasn't as bad as I'd always feared...okay I had an epidural I didn't feel a thing! I did however get to listen to the girl in the next room (she didn't have an epidural until she had been in labor for about five hours) scream. and scream, and scream. Until finally Ed put headphones on me and I listened to music really loud and cried while he listened to her.

Ed did a wonderful job he was at my side the whole time. Helping me to the bathroom in the beginning, getting me water. He watched her come out and went with her to the NICU when I had to stay in the room. I love that man so much.

What do I do?

Today is my Birthday, I am 27 as off two minutes ago. I was supposed to work this morning but due to circumstances at work, I am off. (I worked yesterday instead)
Ed is at work, my sister is at work, my brother is in class (I think), my Grandma isn't home, nor can I call someone to talk. I am not quite sure what to do with myself.
I am antsy to do something other than sit in front of the TV, but being Pregnant I am limited as to what I can do.
There is a lot to do to prepare for the baby coming but first I must decide if I am going to paint the room. It is dark brown panneling with one window about the size of a normal bathroom window. It is dark like a cave. Though painting presents another problem I am not supposed to do it because of the fumes. However, I can't move anything in that room until I decide what to do and do it.
Which leads to I have the messiest (is that right?) house in the world and am desperately needing to clean. Of course most of the items are going to go in the corner of the babies room. Leading back to painting.
I also can't do much lifting since I'm sure the boxes are heavier than I am supposed to lift. Meaning I need someone there to help.
The whole point of this post being I don't know what to do with myself when I don't work now.

Hawaii

We had a lot of fun on our trip to Hawaii. Unfortunately the most pictures we have were taken by my sister since we are not big picture takers. Ok so I am just retarded when it comes to moving these pictures. I can never figure it out.

Third Trimester

I am finally about to start my third trimester. Sometimes I feel like the time will never end and sometimes I go hey where did the last three months go? We haven't really done anything to get ready yet. We are trying not to have to up our rent too early. Our apartment right now is a one bedroom but it is made so it can be a two bedroom but that means we have to pay more. We will get it in plenty of time before Rose (my sisters idea of a name for my blog, and we liked it) comes.

We are going to Hawaii next week to see my sister. Yahoo! Thank you income tax returns. We are only going for a week so it will be a short trip but it will still be fun and definitely worth it.

Well I thought I had more to post but my mind is blank.
