News from the Doc...

Ok so I went to the doctor yesterday cause I was in so much pain. I have had a strange pain from my belly button straight down. Feels like a tearing pain. Anyway, the Nurse Practitioner saw me and did the test to see if you are producing the hormone that tells you the baby will be here within two weeks. Then she prescribed tributaline to slow down all of these contractions. So she checks my cervix, no change thank heavens. And sends me home to be on bed rest until she gets the results of my FFN test. Results came around 6pm and it was negative. That means I am not going to go into labor in the next two weeks. At least not spontaneous labor. She told me to take it easy. No heavy lifting and stop walking so much. Oh and I guess most of the pain down there comes from vericose veins that are swollen. Hmmm, gross! But now that I know what is wrong with me I know how to take care of myself. Way less walking and less sitting. Both irritate my condition. However, how do I go shopping and get stuff done around here without walking? At least they didn't tell me to stay in bed. I have another appointment next Friday.

I also teach at AdornIt (Carolee's Creations) next Friday. So since I am only on light duty not strict bed rest, I decided I am ok to teach still. So here is the journal that goes with my journaling jar class.
I am including the jar in the class too. So It should be a complete gift finished in two hours. I still have to get a make and take ready to go for the night I teach my night light class. I tore my craft room apart and sent everything downstairs. So now I have no place to create and all my stuff is in disarray. I guess I better get busy organizing so I can feel a lot less stress around here. Not to mention how terribly I want to get back to scrapbooking for myself. I miss it bad. And I am way behind in the challenges at Keepsake Trends. I am supposed to post five layouts a month, that inclused projects thank heavens or I would be seriously behind on my committment. So sorry Ginger. This next month should be way better!

My kids start school a week from today and I am excited for them. They are getting anxious. But, I am hoping everything stays ok physically for me so I don't miss Makenna's help so much!
