3rd Trip to Labor and Delivery


I was bored and didn't know what to write about so I had Dan take me to the hospital again so I could post about it...just kidding.

I had a stomach bug (not the flu) yesterday. This left me with some pretty serious serious chills at 2:30 in the morning. Never having had chills where I shook so bad my hands clenched at my chest, I did indeed have Dan take me to the ER. They did some tests, hooked me up to an IV of a lot of fluid and then sent me up to Labor and Delivery for a non-stress test for Sarah. Oh, yeah and in there I got an ultra sound and we saw Sarah sucking her thumb all kicked back like, yeah, I wasn't worried about her.

Well, a surprise unplanned part of the non-stress test for me was when a doctor walked in and very seriously told me I would be having a C-Section at 8am. My face conveyed my shock clearly because the poor doctor's eyes got huge and he said, "Oh, your the stress test?" He numbly walked out and since Dan followed him out to go get my coat from the ER, he saw the doctor walk up to a nurse, put his hands on her shoulders and say, "What a way to start the morning I just told that poor girl she is going to have a C-Section." I could hear the nurse laugh from my room. Good grief.

Well Sarah aced her non-stress test with three active movements with an elevated heart rate for fifteen seconds each in ten minutes. She only needed one in an hour so there is my little over achiever at work. She takes after her daddy.

So hopefully the fourth trip to L&D will result in a cute little car seat warmer. I'd like that, my insides need a break.

That is a good sign for Sarah's sucking reflex! How cute the she can calm herself by sucking on her thumb. She can't lose that in her crib. :) I'm so glad you're feeling better.

I'm glad you're all better now, and so is Sarah!

By the way, I love the name Sarah. That name is VERY dear to my heart.

My sister-in-law named her daughter Sarah Ashley. They call her "Sarah Ashley." It's a beautiful name.

DIY Day a bracelet and another Frenchh Memo Board

Image
This week, I have two DIY projects. This is a faux pearl bracelet I made last week for a friend. It is a three strand bracelet. I couldn't really say how I did it though. I can say it has taken me a while to get the nack of jewelery making. One thing I have sufficiently gotten the nack of is this French Memo Baord thing. Here is a magnetic one I made for my fridgerator out of left over scraps from the window from last week . For the month of September, all my DIYs will be giveways. Atleast one will be...well, a guest DIY and a giveway by my SIL over at Read Be Tween the Lines. My sister, Candy and Ladybugs has a picture in her side bar of her latest crosstiching (did I spell that right? My spell check didn't catch it but I don't think thats how it is spelled) project. Its pretty sweet. Check their blogs out on my side bar of my favorite blogs. I've found so many new favorite blogs, I need to update that list. Add that to my to do list. :) Update: Happy To Design...

My second greatest creation!

I did it, I really did it. I've never done something to at this scale of work. It took me many hours but I did it. I am so proud of this DIY project. My first DIY Day! I would be remiss in mentioning that this little beauty is my best DIY and that handsome man there, well, he just melts my heart and fortifies it all at the same time. Here is the plain old dirty six paned window I have been hauling with me every where since I found it a few years ago at a Habitat for Humanity Restore. I had it done up before but that was a novice's attempt at crafty. I knew when I saw the other crafty DIY projects floating around the blogosphere that I would need to get serious in order to play with the big dogs. Good thing all you blogger peeps were also my inspiration. ;) With out further adue . Did I spell that right. I need to learn French. Not really. I'm so doing this on purpose. Ok , here it is..... Three French Memo Boards, one cork board, one pane for a grocery list and ...

Inspiration

So, I am reading this book, $100 Startup by Chris Guillebeau. I'm not planning on starting a business or anything. Its just super inspirational. I like inspirational people. I have this friend, Kathrine who is the best sewing person, sewer or whatever you call it in the whole world. When inspiration strikes, she sews stuff.  I think that is freaking awesome. I have friends who have passions and they just go for it. Love it! My brother, Justin wanted to design toys. He did it. My brother and sister in love, Scott and Laura wanted to start a youth horse ranch. They are doing it. My husband was a sweet little country boy who wanted to go to the Air Force Academy. He did it. See the pattern? I like being inspired. So $100 Startup is a book full of people who find themselves not so much in a career or really intending to make it big but they just start down a path and do what they love. I asked a musician I know where he dreams of playing someday. He said that he just wanted...
