Randomness

Well Dave left again this morning for North Dakota.  I'm not excited.  Quite frankly I'm sick of this.  I know this is really wearing on Dave as well.  Originally talk had been that he was going to stay this trip until a week before my due date.  Thankfully that has changed and he will most likely be coming home the first week of October.  It sounds like work is supposed to be picking up in Rochester with all the projects the Mayo Clinic has coming up.  I hope it is true because this would be so good for Dave and others like Dave that have been without jobs in the area for over 2.5 years.  Crossing my fingers!!

Andrew had a heart cath last week to balloon open one his arteries.  I was so nervous.  I did a lot better then I thought I would.  I didn't shed a tear until I heard his raspy cries in the recovery room.  He did so well and I'm so proud of him.  He was so ticked off for most of the time but towards the end of the stay he was getting better.  They scheduled an echo for the morning.  They were going to try it unsedated.  I thought, good luck!  This kid hates stethescopes and you are going to expect him to sit still for an echo?!  I laid with him on the bed and he did so good!  He was a little whiny at first but let them get all the pictures they needed!  I was amazed.  Hopefully for his next echo in 3 months he will do just as well.

My pregnancy is going good. 34 weeks now!  This pregnancy is different then the last 2.  I'm really feeling this one!  I'm beginning to think about labor and how that is all going to go.  I'm hoping to go into labor on my own as I was induced with both boys.  I want the excitement of not knowing when she is coming.  My fear right now is that for some reason I will go into labor early and Dave won't make it here.  I wouldn't want anyone else in the room with me and I wouldn't want Dave to miss it.  He is 12 hours away and I think they say your labors get shorter with each child.  Good thing he'll be home sooner then originally planned.  It will put me more at ease!  I have a few other fears right now but I'll have to post on those later.
