Hard...

It's often times harder to get feeling better when you are pregnant.. This time is definetly the case.. I've had this yucky stomach bug since last tuesday and it's still going strong.. I finally have started some dissolvable zofran, sadly the first time I took it though I was too dehydrated and it wouldn't even dissolve, so I ended up just putting a tiny water in my mouth and swallowing it down. Thankfully I have moments where I do feel okay. But the energy level is just in the 'negative zone'. My sweet husband has been doing all he can to make me comfortable-- letting me sleep in, letting me take naps, and picking up drugs to try and get things to help the situtation.
The Park City retreat was fun-- Jared was very patient with me, and just let me stay in the hotel while he took the kids swimming and/or out and about. It was relaxing to not worry about house work, chores, the cares of life. But just to sit and watch tv, relax on the bed. I was determined to feel good enough to go shopping, after all the Park City outlets are the BEST! My goal was to go to 3 stores (knowing me this is a very lame number.. I love to shop!) AT carters I wanted to get Briggs  a few new outfits, and a 'take home from the hospital' outfit. I found 3 really great ones. Some warm jammies, 1 outfit, and 1 outfit with a jacket. I also grabbed Lexi lou a new shirt as she accidently fell in  a mud puddle, and I somehow didn't pack her an extra shirt (the boys on the other hand had 2 extra shirts each)... WE also went to oldnavy and found Jared some pants, and mikey a zipuphoody.
Then I was beat, I was ready to sit in the stroller. lol. .. I couldn't do it anymore. So Jared ran into the Columbia store, while I stayed with the kids in the car watching a movie and enjoying the AC. He sent me a text asking me to come look at a coat with him. WE have looked EVERY winter season since we were married to try and find him a coat he loved, so I was SUPER happy for him when he found one he liked. After looking on the racks for a bit, I found a different one, and he liked it even more-- plus it was on sale-- plus his work was going to pay for it! DOUBLE AWESOME! We quickly bought the coat and headed back to the hotel. I find such great comfort in the many kicks, moves, and somersaults Brigg has been doing. So I know he is still growing and doing great, despite me being under-the-weather. I go into Dr. Sage on Monday, and from here on out we are down to weekly appts. 27 days until induction time! Can hardly wait. It's been a long road full of patience on our part, but we are excited for great event of his arrival :) Love you sweet son!
