First posting for my blog

Well, I figured since I was going to be stuck at home most of the time - or not doing much...I would start a blog. I just want to have this to give updates on myself, my pregnancy, the funny things Ellie Kate does, and once Cole is born - Cole.



Well, yesterday I went to the doctor for my 28 weeks appointment and was told in order to relieve my pain and help with my hernia I would need to rest a lot. So, the doctor took me out of work since sitting for long periods of time restricts the blood flow and causes swelling "down under". Cole is just really low and measuring 2.5 weeks big and putting lots of pressure on my stomach and my bottom. For some reason, the pressure has caused me to have a inguinal hernia. So, I am to lay in bed most of the day until I give birth which is 10-12 weeks away...yuck! I am going to be requring lots of help from nana and aunt Jill since I have a little one depending on me!



Now, on to fun things...Ellie Kate. She is talking more and more everyday. She totally understands what I ask, tell, or request her to do...it is kind of nice! I think Ellie is getting her two-year-old molars. She is not sleeping very well...she is congested and complains that her mouth hurts. Well, she woke up at 7:15 am this morning and Tim went to go get her and put her in our bed to watch Thomas the train. Once she got in our bed, of course, she wanted to sleep. So, we did not mind going back to sleep so there we all lay sleeping and Ellie I guess picked up a new job of sawing logs!!! She snores louder and deeper than a 60 year old overweight man. I don't know where she gets it - me and Tim do not snore...weird!

Well, I am sure I will be blogging a lot since I will not have much else to do! Until next time...
