Ouch!!!

So i had my dr appt and all he said was that everything looked fine, I'm right on schedule. There's a little protein in my urine which is a symptom for pre-eclampsia. We'll know more in 2 weeks when I go back to have my cervix checked for the first time (ah!)....Then!...later that night, I couldn't sleep b/c I started having Braxton-Hicks contractions. they stopped after awhile then started again a little after I woke up. Haven't had them since but I'm trying to do a lot of walking. We don't want him unhealthy, but we so badly want him here! So like I said we'll see if I'm dialated in two weeks, then we'll start a weekly visits.

Yesterday was crazy! Started out with doing an 1 1/2 hrs. of grocery shopping for chris graduation party, (oh-he's back from florida-don't know if i mentioned he left, but it was for his senior trip) met up with my mom for lunch, went to wal-mart with my brother for an hour to get last minute things, and some pics developed from his trip that didn't turn out. But i did manage to get all his friends pics online so he has a little to look back on. Came home, did laundry, dishes, watched a movie with my brother (on and off), watered all my plants and the backyard, fed the dogs, made dinner...Mushroom Pork Chops, Au Gratin Potatoes, Stuffing, and Pumpkin Pie. Weird combo but it's what the belly wanted. And what belly wants-belly gets! ok so this is where my Ouch! comes in....
I was leaning above the stove not thinking it was on to put some recipes I had just gotten off the internet away, and leaned too far over...or belly is just getting too big. I burnt my stomach on a pan and now have huge strawberry looking birth mark an inch away from my belly button. I've loaded it up with burn medicine...I've been fortunate not to have any stretch marks (on my stomach), and I really don't want this to scar! () around stomach b/c 2 days ago, I found 2 stretch marks on both theighs...their only 1/4 of an inch thick and dr said they'll go away, but I screamed when I saw them.
I don't have a pic of my burn but I did get some of my flowers.


The first is my sunflower plant that just sprouted the other day and the second and third is my turtle plant!
Tonight we decorate for Chris' party and start cooking the chicken. Then early tomorrow, Allan and I are in charge of picking up the cake and ice....loading up the rest of the food, his gift, our grill (if my dad doesn't come get it tonight), heading out to Brookville, and having some fun!!!!!!

oh-some pics of my brother in florida...one with friends on the beach...one with his girlfriend, morgan!


Until next time....
