We got spoiled this weekend!

My mom came up to visit us this weekend and totally spoiled us! She wanted to get us our baby gift while she was in town so that we wouldn't have to haul it up from Lumberton. So she took us to Babies R Us and bought Lucy's crib! It feels nice to have something in the babe's room since we haven't bought anything so far. I watched the whole crib building process while rocking comfortably in the new chair mom also bought us while she was here!

Sam and I comparing bellies at 27 weeks.

Lucy's already playing tricks on us...

For those of you who caught wind of our little scare Wednesday night- We are all okay! My Dr. sent me over to the Labor and Delivery unit at the hospital Wednesday night to be monitored since I had been feeling kinda crampy all day. Sam and I thought it wouldn't be a big deal, they would just check on Lucy's heart rate and tell me I had gas or something....
Once they got all of the monitors hooked up the nurse determined I was having contractions every 2 to 5 minutes- yikes! After some blood work and other tests, two IV bags, a muscle relaxer, and some other medication, the contractions died down. I only spent about 4 and a half hours in the hospital and they let me go home.
We don't know the cause of the contractions- possibly a little dehydration, or a growth spurt in little Lucy that my Uterus wasn't ready for etc... But, by the time I went into the Dr. yesterday everything looked good and all he said was "Alright- take it easy- see ya next week".

So- thank you Lord for taking care of little Lucy in there and no bed rest or yucky meds for me!! Maybe God just knew that Sam and I needed a little dress rehearsal for getting checked in to Labor and Delivery so we would be pro's when the time comes for real!

July 4th and Mondo-belly

For 4th of July weekend we went with our friends Jackie and Jeremy to watch the fireworks in Addison that Friday. It was packed but we had fun hanging out with everyone.

That Saturday we went on a Canoing trip with Sam's parents and another family near Granbury. It was fun to do some swimming and get some sun but we were EXHAUSTED by the time we reached the end. Sam and I were glad to say that we were the only canoe to stay afloat the whole day!

We got home to find that our house had been sitting at a sweltering 94 degrees while were gone. Our AC decided it also needed a July 4th vacation. So- after a few nights at mom and dad Swanson's our A.C. is repaired and things are back to normal....

Well... I'm not back to normal... I am ever- expanding. This is from a week ago at 25 1/2 weeks preggy.

I'll post our latest home paint projects and the bedding I made for Lucy soon.
