Our last week in Texas included a trip to the aquarium where the kids loved looking at the fish and loved even more getting to tough the sting rays! They would have stayed in there with the stingrays getting soaked all day if we hadn't made them go eat lunch.
We got to have our friends the Tiltons over to swim and eat and have fun. It was great getting to see them again and fun to watch friendships pick right up where they left off.
Friday, we headed out on the long drive back to Colorado. We made it in late that night and crashed!
The next day we spent unpacking and cleaning and getting things ready for Sunday. Sunday started out wonderful, we had a great time at church and a nice afternoon together playing games and reading. Dan got home from church early and I got to go take a nap. When I woke up, I wasn't feeling very well. It kept getting worse as the evening went on, by 9pm, I was in enough pain to ask for a blessing and then head into the ER. After a VERY long evening spent in pain in the ER, I was told that I was pregnant and probably miscarrying the pregnancy. Around 2 am, they sent me home, told me to take Tylenol and come back in if I started bleeding.
Monday morning, I was bleeding, so I went back in. I sat in there in immense pain with no painkillers until about 2 when they said I was probably miscarrying and sent me home with a prescription pain med. Dan picked up the pain meds for me and by 3:30, I could do something other than whimper in bed. So I spent the afternoon working on my computer.
Tuesday, I went to see my OBGYN who said that it looked like things should be done soon and if pain lasted too much longer that it wasn't a Gynecological problem, it was something else.
By Thursday, I was still in pain, but with Tylenol, I could manage to let Dan go to work. That evening, we went to Wicked (which I wouldn't have missed even if I'd been in twice as much pain as I was) The show was amazing and made better by getting to watch it with Dan and Newell and Becky. We also went out to dinner before - but I still wasn't feeling up to eating much.
Friday was Anna's birthday party. I struggled to find the energy to make the kids clean up the house before the party, but with Dan't help and threats of cancelling the party, it finally got done. I went visiting teaching around 3 and then got back in time for the party. Anna had a couple friends over to party and one got to sleep over too. They played outside, then had a pizza and movie party. Then the younger kids got sent to bed and the older girls got to play glow in the dark tag, glow in the dark hide and seek and glow in the dark Marco Polo, They had fun!
Saturday was again a day of preparation and fun. Anna went out for Ice Cream with Grandpa and came home with a ukelele. She is very excited about it and has been trying to take some online lessons on Dan's tablet...
Sunday was nice. Church was wonderful with wonderful lessons and great people. After church, we went home for lunch, then mommy took a nap again. I had a meeting to help prepare us for girls camp (coming up in just over a week!) then we ate dinner, then I went visiting teaching and got home to have fun playing games and eating yummy treats with Becca and Jeremiah.
