Well you can see that I am much larger than last time you saw any pictures of me! That was taken at 34 weeks exactly. I am very uncomfortable the majority of the time now. Especially when I am sitting for long periods of time or riding in the car for some strange reason. Life has been very busy and crazy lately.
My cat, Little Kitten, passed away finally. He's been in our family for years and years. In fact, his mom died when he was a kitten and we raised him on a bottle. He was my cat. I used to sneak him in the house and we'd sleep together on my bed upstairs. He'd been really sick but he'd always been a fighter and my Mom and I didn't want to be the ones to put him down since he's always fought to live much of his life. So I kept praying that he'd pass on his own. He finally did. Tosh was the last one to see him alive and pet him.
Tosh's Great Aunt Madge also passed away. I never get to see much of Tosh's extended family and I always thought it was because they just all didnt' get along or something. But at the funeral for Aunt Madge I got to meet many of them and figure out more of his family tree and they all were wonderful! It was such a good time to see them. They had old pictures of Tosh and his family when they used to do reunions and apple butter making. I wish they still did those things. Aunt Madge was 95 1/2 :-) If you were at my wedding and can recall a little old lady on a walker with short white hair and glasses and a TN license plate strapped to the front -- well that was her. She was such a joy to be around!
We celebrated Coy's (Tosh's dad) birthday on Sunday too. We are supposed to be taking him to this nice seafood place tomorrow when I go for my next Dr.'s appointment -- IF we can get out from all the snow and ice. I'm going to make him a birthday cake today.
My granddad is doing some better. He is supposed to get a cast on his wrist tomorrow if everything goes as planned. Mom and Dad have been spending the night up there every other night and taking him food. His sodium level is coming back up -- he just doesn't seem to want to eat unless you make it for him. He is 86 I believe and lives alone so he gets lonely by himself.
I think we are almost ready for this baby. I keep staring at the ultrasound pictures again and thinking about him/her. I am so excited some days and scared to death other days. The times when the baby gets its little arms/legs up under my ribs I'm ready to get it out already. But other times I'm kind of sad that soon it will be out in this big world and I have to learn how to teach it and feed it and raise it up in the Lord. Daunting task...!!
Maybe you folks up in Lexington will get something besides ice soon. :) Love to you all
