The Long Week


So we've had a pretty stressful week!  First our beloved Zoe got sick, we still don't know with what.  We took her to our vet and spent a fortune only for them to tell us that they weren't equipped to handle her case and we needed to take her to the emergency vet.  I really thought for a while there that we might lose her.   After spending another fortune at the ER vet they kept her overnight and sent her home with us the next day, but it was a few more days before she started to feel better.  But at least she seems to be starting to feel like her old self again!

On another note, I started having contractions on Sunday night, about 2 an hour, that didn't go away for over 2 days.  My Dr. put me on bedrest for 48 hours and it seems to have done the trick.  Not sure what caused it, but I hope it doesn't happen again!  Talk about stressful!  I wish I could have an easier time of it.  I feel so jumpy about everything related to this pregnancy.  I hope I'm not creating a high strung child because I feel so much anxiety!

Hang in there girl!! i know things have been tough!! Most important right now is that you take care of yourself! Take it easy as much as possible!! Stress and Anxiety won't help things so try to just relax and know God has a plan! I continue to pray for you and Lars and that sweet baby! Wish we were closer! Glad you are doing better I was worried about you!

Do you meditate, or pray? Try some relaxation exercises (i.e. yoga).

Ask Lars for help - you can't do everything - and there's absolutely nothing wrong with asking for help. If he's anything like me, he'll need a little prodding.... But, he'll come along - this is new to both of you.

Be aware that you're the QUEEN of the castle right now. And, rightfully so - considering the miracle you have in your tummy.

Seriously, even after the baby, you can't hope to continue working/moving at the pace you have in the past. Laura and I had to realize that the hard way - after we had some pretty heavy breakdowns. Now we're realizing what's really important - our family.

Parenting is a completely new paradigm.


Keep your eye on the prize, Sista-in-law! You're doing GREAT!
