Hosptial Shmosmital

So...today has not been the best of days for this mommy...I could NOT sleep last night--I was up almost evey hour (despite the nurses attempt of two ambien to help my situation) I finally threw in the towel at 4 am and pulled out the laptop and did some Christmas shopping. Being here is definately beginning to take its toll on me...I love every morning when Tj brings Thomas to me--but its almost bittersweet b/c I know they will have to leave as quickly as they came...Thomas IS THE HILIGHT of my day...once that's over--I pretty much hit rock bottom. I can't help but cry every time they leave and I know poor monkey is totally confused. I know this is the best place we can be--but I didn't realize just how hard it would be to be away from my little family for so long. Tj has been soooo great at being "Mr. Mom"...Thomas has become permanently attached to him--I am sure it's just all the changes making him extra clingy. When I called this morning TJ was folding laundry and feeding Thomas--who knew he was capable--hee, hee! Please say a prayer for mommy and Finley...we are ready to go HOME!

Texas Ranch Hand

Happy 2nd Birthday to my little Texas cutie! He LOVES his new Gator...he is such a big helper with Nana and his daddy in the garden--this birthday present will sure come in handy! I can't believe how fast the last two years have gone--he is certainly not a baby anymore!

Pretty much the cutest boy in uniform...EVER

So...today has been a very eventful day...Thomas started his new school and has to wear uniforms (which I LOVE b/c less planning on my end :-)...I was a little anxious about the day b/c I know how my little monkey does with change (NOT GOOD)--he did have a rough start--but I get to watch him as much as I want via the internet--so much to my surprise--by the time I had arrived at the office he was playing and happy (PHEW).

On another note--Miss Finley has started to act up a little...I had to go to the dr. today b/c I have had contractions ranging from every 5-25 min's for two days now (not good at 26 wks preg-o)...my doc isn't happy b/c while I was there they were only about 7 min's apart for the whole hour and a half...so--I had to get a Progesterone shot (to stop the contractions) and will have to go every Monday until 34 wks to get these. I am also grounded from most anything fun (my poor hubby). I am on bedrest right now--but as soon as the Prog. kicks in and we can get the contractions to stop I will be able to drive, work, etc. unless they pick back up--then we will have to have a new plan of action. As of today Finley weighs 2lbs and looks just like her brother :-) We just need her to stay in the oven a little longer!!!

Luckily my mom is here making dinner, hubby is taking care of Tomahawk and I have a job that can be done from the couch. Praying the drugs kick in and I can be back to the land of the living by tomorrow--why must my babies always scare me sooo much :-)
