Sometimes the best friendships develop before you ever meet.

Jeff and I stopped in Franklin, TN to do a radio spot with Way FM. We decided that while we were in the area, we'd try to get in touch with and meet up with as many friends as we could who are in the area and we got a great opportunity today to do just that. Stephanie and I have talked for almost two years on and off thanks to babycenter.com. Our sons had due dates in the same month and we have had the chance to connect with some absolutely amazing women because of it. Anytime that the ladies of our group are able, we try to meet and get to know each other in person to make those relationships more than just "an internet friendship". We met up today at the mall in Franklin and let Kamden and Dylan play in the play area while we got a chance to talk. After the boys wore themselves out, we had lunch at Cracker Barrell and got a chance to just chat. It was SUCH a good time. I really hope we'll have the chance to do so again someday. I do think that this friendship was a God ordained one more so now than ever. You can feel like you have a connection over a computer that's never proven in person, but it felt like I was seeing a great friend I just hadn't seen in person in several years or something like that.

Thank you Steph and Dylan for coming and hanging out with us. We love you guys!

The Best and Worst Night Ever

Image
We left for our church's annual Memorial Day cookout around 5:30 on Sunday afternoon, May 29th.  I was having a few strange pains when we got there, but it was over 100 degrees so I thought that I was possibly getting dehydrated again since I'd just gotten out of the hospital late the night before.  We spent about an hour there before I told Jeff that I just didn't feel well and thought we should go home.  I was continuing to have the pains, however now going to the bathroom wasn't helping them get any better. We got home around 7:30 and I drank some water and laid on my left side.  That way, if I were having false labor, the contractions would stop, and hopefully I'd curb any dehydration that was starting on me again.  Laying down helped things for about an hour and a half.  Around 9:15, I told Jeff I thought we ought to call Dr. S., just in case he wanted me to be observed or something.  After talking with him, we decided to force fluids and wait o...

I Blame Wisconsin

Image
Okay, being that I haven't lived in Wisconsin in over 3 years, I can't really say that I can place blame there.  I got a letter from my primary care doctor's office this week and was told that my bad cholesterol is high.  I am doing my best to not beat myself up but to not foo foo it away as nothing.  I only need to bring it down about 20 points, so I know it could be way worse.  I know that the first thing everyone thinks of is fatty foods, dairy overload or something similar but after reading up on it, I found out that stress can cause it to rise too.  Apparently when highly stressed, the body doesn't break down foods as well and can cause cholesterol issues. So, in addition to changes in my diet, I'm going to attempt to "de-stress" my life. I know that being stress free is impossible as there are both good and bad stressors we face daily, but there are things I can change to make things less stressful for me. Things like: Asking for help Gett...
