Recovery Weekend 9-19-10

I am so lucky to have such wonderful friends and family who have been so good to me and my family. We ended up scheduling surgery for Friday thanks to Christine offering to take care of the girls Friday afternoon (getting them both from school in Fulshear, going to Aspen's doctor's appointment in Cypress, and taking them to Lili's soccer practice back out in Katy). Ashley flew in from Atlanta first thing Saturday morning to come take care of me/lift my spirits and help out. Beth came over Saturday as well (in town from California) and brought wine and flowers). It was like old times hanging out and catching up with both of them and definitely was wonderful for this weekend. Brett and Beth were able to get the GT game streamed through the internet on tv for us. Brett then hit the grocery store and cooked it up as usual..we had cheese fondue, steaks, and then chocolate fondue for dessert. Delicious. I missed Lili's soccer game yesterday, but pictures are below that Brett took. He took Aspen this morning for some shooting practice out at Ted's house while Ashley, Lili and I bummed it and just hung out. Thanks again too everyone for checking in and thinking of us during this time.

No Heart Beat 9/13/10

We went in for my last ultra sound with Dr. Kristiansen and got news that we were not expecting. The heart beat was gone, and the baby was not the size that it should be at 9 weeks. She estimated that it stopped growing about a week ago. Now we have to decide whether to let nature take it's course or schedule a D&C. If we do the D&C, they can do testing and may be able to find out what was wrong. Of course there is the small chance of scarring.

I bit the bullet...maternity pants are here 9-11-10

After a morning of shopping at the craft show at the Berry Center with Amy and Kim (and lunch at the Tea Room), we made a stop at Kohls on the way home. They convinced me that I may as well skip buying pants a size or too bigger than I usually wear (since I can't wear any of my pants anymore), so I went straight to the maternity pants. Yikes...

Our First Baby Gift 9-9-10

We got two great surprises on Thursday! The first was a box stuffed with big avocados that John sent from Florida. The second was our first baby gift from Susan and Emma. A cute little USF onesie!!
