HI HI HI:)

Hi my friends:)
I am slowly getting back into the swing of things! Here are a few updates

* I am blogging from home today.. still supposed to take it easy and relax and keep off my feet for most of the day!

* I have been spending sometime laying by my parents pool which has been nice

* My back hurts a bit from laying so much but all worth it for Cate

* My cute mom nicknamed Cate, CupCate:) I LOVE it:)

* My friend Erin, calls her Cater-Bug:) Love it too:)

* My husband has proven to be quite the lil cook... he has made me pancakes with blueberries, strawberries and powder sugar, ham, egg and cheese toaster, really good fruit salad, really good dinner salad and a salad with fruit and veggies:) gosh, how did I get soo lucky!

* I am still waiting on a few test results, which should be in sometime tomorrow:) My glucose test came back good.. just gotta take iron pills and watch my iron!

* My Dr told me to rest and take it easy for a while and said if my blood pressure stays high I may just need to rest and take it easy till she comes... I have moments where I feel selfish and down about having to "slow down," so much, but gosh the end result is having a healthy baby girl arrive in Sept! So then I snap myself out of it!!

* My mom is soo much fun to be around and I will probably be spending most days resting with her!!! Thanks for taking such good care of me momma!

* Oh and my sister too... she came over Saturday and cleaned my house with Ryan! What would I do without a great family! So blessed:)

* Sunday Ryan's family came into town because his aunt and cousin were driving thru town on their way home:) here are a few pics:)





* My Lil Brother just got back from Italy and he brought us all back presents, Cate got a soccer jersey, Ryan cheese and a rosary blessed by the Pope and my sister and I got crosses and wine openers....




* I have been staying up to date on every one's blogs... via my iPhone:) But haven't been able to leave many comments.. once I get a laptop and wi-fi hooked up... Ill be back in commenting action:)

* My blog friend Lyndsey just found out today that she is having a little baby girl too:) Yeah:) I am soooo excited for you guys:)

* My blog friends Erin and Whitney could be meeting their lil men any day:) Be sure to keep them in your prayers as they carry their little ones a bit longer:)

* Also, keep my blog friend Crystals little daughter in your prayers as she recovers from heart surgery! Things have been going very well for Bentley... so lets keep our prayers a coming:)

* Lastly, not only am I blogging here, I am also blogging at a new blog called The Baby Cove. This blog is mainly about our little family and our happenings as a family and the Baby Cove is everything baby, everything about Dr. apts, about being pregnant, about being a first time mom... etc.. etc... Come and stop by and read what I have to say and what two other moms have to say too:) I was asked to be a part of The Baby Cove and I am soo excited and hope you guys will follow along:)


Happy Tuesday and I hope everyone had a happy and blessed Memorial Day weekend:)
See tomorrow for Wordful Wed:)
LOVE LOVE LOVE
