Between 34 and 35

Jones asking me to "sit seat" so I can help him open and close his plastic eggs.





Loot from the church Easter egg hunt.



I feel like I've gone from high-functioning to low-functioning in a matter of weeks. I went into triage on Wednesday to have the baby monitored and I ended up having low blood pressure and a high heart rate. I was told to rest for a couple days (no swimming...boo), but now I feel like I need to rest all of the time. Walking is really uncomfortable and standing is becoming uncomfortable too. I can only fall asleep at night if Scott is rubbing my hand or back and even then it takes a long time. I'm becoming a real baby about it and I get frustrated a lot. Scott has had to step up his game big time and I appreciate it GREATLY. I can't imagine another 5 weeks of feeling like this, but I don't have much of a choice. :) This sounds like a big whine session.

Things that are going well...Jones is well behaved for the most part and talking more and more every day. He still sleeps well and I really enjoy his company. I can't run after him outside anymore, but he does a fairly good job of staying where he should. Scott is done with the semester in a few weeks and I can't wait for him to be home more. Mostly so that Jones has someone fun to play with. Well, here's to another 37 days.

You look great Whit! And 37 days sounds a lot shorter than 5 weeks to me...I don't know why. I can't wait to see this little girl...or at least pictures! Good luck with everything!
