Two weeks...

Two weeks from now we will be on the plane embarking on this new grand adventure. There still feels like so much to do but we are getting there. Slowly. 

The next two weeks are filled with packing, moving, cleaning, selling, and partying. B. turns 8! on Wednesday. Where has my little baby gone? She is an amazing kid with a big heart, a great sense of humor, and an inquisitive mind. 

I have so much to say about this whole moving and relocating process but I can't find the words. 

Instead here is a picture of our beautiful rhodies and my silly girl.

Bed rest!

As luxurious as it sounds to spend all day in bed or on the couch it really isn't all that it is cracked up to be. Today is my third day of bed rest. At my appointment on Tuesday they measured my cervix and found that it had reduced from 3.4cm last Tuesday to 1.3cm. The amount of change is such a short period of time was cause for concern. Dr. K said that I was off work and on bed rest for the remainder of this pregnancy. Oh lordy. T. and I had talked about the possibility of long term bed rest after a week of bed rest following the insertion of my cerclage at 12w. Neither of us was thrilled with the idea but thought we would do what we had to. And here I find myself a little over 19w pregnant facing another 20 weeks in a horizontal position. Don't get me wrong, I will do whatever it takes to see that this little being inside of me has the best chance of being born full term, but the thought of another 4 1/2 months on my back or side is daunting. Last night I had my first p

Getting high from the fumes.

Thank goodness they picked a good radio station. We are on Day 2 of painters here. Originally they were just going to repair the ceiling in the dining room and bedroom and paint the bedroom walls. Then we thought they could do the front room ceiling too. Since they're at it might as well have them do the walls in the front room. The stairway. And the downstairs bathroom. $$$. We are hoping that the extra cost will result in better showing and a quicker sale.  I am not good at picking colors. The painter suggested Sherwin Williams "Accessible Beige". It is a nice neutral in the greige family of colors. Looks good to me. And it matches our drapes! What do you think of our work in progress?

Tuesday, July 16. Day 44.

B. is still doing well but today was a little tough for Mommy and Daddy. When I went to visit B. this morning she was super cute. I returned to the Ronald McDonald House after lunch and while there I received a phone call from the NICU. Seeing that number can strike fear in a NICU parent's heart. It was one of B's doctors informing me that B had been moved to another nursery. Normally, this would be viewed as a good thing. Unfortunately, she was being moved into isolation because she tested positive for MRSA - Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus Aureus. Her doctor explained to me that at the moment B is NOT sick however, if she were to become sick she would need to be treated with a different type of antibiotic. B is NOT infected with MRSA but has a colonization. A bit about MRSA, apparently about 20 - 40% of the population has Staph aureus that "lives" on our bodies. This is called colonization. It is the presence, growth and multiplication of the organism in o
