Rough Weekend

Ok so I ended my last blog noting that I had just gone out and shoveled a little bit...that really wasn't the best idea.  Saturday afternoon, Spencer and I went grocery shopping, while we were out, I started to feel some pain in my stomach and lower back.  The pain just got worse throughout the evening.  However, Spencer had a work Christmas party so I had to put on a  happy face.  By the end of the night, as we were picking up the kiddos, I was hurting pretty bad.  I am the one that usually gets the kids all ready for bed and tucks them in, but Spence had to step in a do it.  I did not get much sleep saturday night and on Sunday I felt even worse.  Not only was I cramping, I was reallys\ nausiated.  All i wanted to do was throw up.  Spence ended up taking the kids to church by himself (which I don't think has ever happened).  The whole time they were gone, I just laid in bed. After church we went up to my parent's so my dad could help give me a blessing.  I think its been a long time since Spencer and I have both just cried during a blessing.  I usually get choked up because blessings are so amazing, but when my husband could not hold back the tears, my flood gates opened too.  He could barely get through it, but he did.  Basically, I was told that my Heavenly Father loves me, and he knows I am in pain.  He also said that according to my faith, i will carry the baby full-term.  What reassurance.  Anyways, the blessing was wonderful and Spencer and I just hugged for a long time afterwards.  I am so lucky to have such an amazing, loving husband who cares for me and the kids as much as he does.

Around 8:30 last night I started to feel a little better.  I was starting to feel a little hungry.  The baby was probably starving to death, since I hadn't really eaten anything since dinner the night before.  I slept much better last night, and I haven't had any more cramping since last night.  Still don't feel 100%, but I am much better.

One of the nice girls in the ward just called and asked if she could bring dinner to us tonight.  What an amazing  person.  She said she noticed I wasn't at church yesterday and my family was so she new something was up.  I love people like that.  Those who notice small things like that and then do something about it.  I hope to be more like her.  Anyways, that's enough rambling for now...
