A Few Updates

Peter's ankle is slowly healing. He is starting to realize that it is going to be quite a while before he is 100%. We are still icing it and keeping it wrapped so hopefully he can get back to his normal routines in about three weeks. We'll see.

It seems as though our entire household is under the weather lately. Earlier this week Koa and I developed a cold...on the same day! I took off from work early on Wednesday since I wasn't feeling well and by the evening Koa was coughing up a lung. I never knew dog coughs sounded so horrible! I feel so bad for her. Anyway-Koa and I stayed in bed all day Thursday. The rest was definitely nice.
Yesterday I felt good. Blake was over so we dyed some eggs. The Easter Bunny also made a visit which Blake decided to tell us about at about 6:30 this morning! He said, "I just knew he would come!" How cute.
I guess maybe I should have rested yesterday too, because today I am not feeling too swell. My plan was to do some cleaning but I could barely even walk from the kitchen to the living room without needing to sit, so that plan got shelved. Hopefully tomorrow I will feel better.
Koa on the other hand, wants to try to still play with us, but it doesn't take her long to start hacking. So we are trying to keep her calm (HA!).

And now that Peter is incapacitated...to a point, we have had to put our plans to get rid of some furniture and move some stuff around on hold. We are still trying to get out and buy a glider or recliner to put in our room, but this will have to wait since he can't really be moving anything like that.

My doctors appointment earlier in the week went well. Everything looks good he says. Apparently I have been experiencing Braxton Hicks contractions and didn't even know it. I told him I hadn't had any, but when he was checking her heartbeat he could feel on my tummy that I was having one right then! He told me that that feeling was a contraction! Oops. hehe. I thought it was just the baby sticking out her butt or her head or something. How funny. This makes me feel a lot better though because I was starting to feel like I was going to be pregnant forever. At least now I know that my body is "practicing" for the real thing.

Next Sunday is my baby shower and I can't wait! Whitney will be in town and I can't wait to see the new addition to their family!! It will be so nice to see everyone all at once.
I'll post pics as soon as I can.

Love to All
