Me!!
I'm sitting in the hospital hooked up to all sorts of crap as we speak. Long story short my BP shot up to 185/95! They are giving me magnesium to keep me from seizing, and steroids for Harrison's lungs. They plan to induce on Tuesday after 2 rounds of each drug.
Baby is doing well and I feel fine. I'll have my laptop, so I'll try to get you posted. If you want to call my number is 316-962-3695.
Love you all!
Stop worrying about what might hold you down, and pay attention to why you're standing up.

Have you ever thought about what you'd want written on your tombstone??
This was our dinner conversation tonight. We talked about death, and when my sister died. Jonathan sort of remembered talking about her in the past, for Savannah it was all new, and she took it pretty hard. I think what upset her the most was the fact that Krystal never had anything. Savannah was shocked that she was 0 years old, she never had a bike, or a birthday, or got to play on a playground.
She asked if the next time we went back to Abilene we could visit her grave( thus starting the tombstone conversation). Savannah asked me what I would have put on my tombstone, and I said it isn't up to me it's up to Daddy. So I asked Jason want he would put.....My sweet husband couldn't even spit out what he would put on there. He was able to say "devoted mot.." then couldn't go on. It was humbling. After a few more tries and no more luck getting anything out he decided he didn't want to talk about it anymore!
It's something to think about though. Are you going to leave it up to your spouse or children to chose or do you want to do it yourself? I know we all think we are so young, and it's something we don't have to think about, but tomorrow isn't guaranteed.

Staci and I were talking today
and she said that she feels like she never has anything to say. I said just start typing and it will come. We all think were boring, but I don't read my friends blogs to get just the exciting news, I like the mundane as well. So here is my nothing exciting, go with the flow blog post.
The the shock of Jason's mother's betrayal is beginning to subside. I suppose it will take weeks, months, or even years for her to see and feel the full effect of her choices. Savannah brought home her school pictures today. They have super quick turn around time here, they were back in less than 2 weeks! She looks so grown in them, it's crazy. Jonathan is still all about football. His team his 1-2, but he's excited b/c his team last year never won a game! I am well. Just getting the tired bug easier than I used to. Today I did the dishes, did all the laundry, then had to sleep for an hour and a half. I don't think I could have functioned if I hadn't
I'm getting ready to start designing Harrison's birth annoucement. I'm doing to digital so I can have it all ready, and just insert photos and print. I haven't come up with anything I love yet, so I will keep working. I have my maternity photos scheduled for the end of October. I can't wait! She does wonderful work. Here is her website:

I'm totally doing the black and white with the color Froggie! She also said she'd try this look for me:

The one with the baby in the woman's abdomen. Too cool!! I also love the wedding rings on the baby's toes!

Can't Sleep, Must Vent....
Jason's mom stopped in for a surprise visit. Quite literally. He walked out of work today and there she was standing next to his car. As anyone who has been my friend for more than a day knows, Jason has never had a great relationship with his mom and it's only gotten worse over the past year and a half. Jason rarely returns her calls, and doesn't have much to say to her.
She flew all the way here "b/c it was killing her they weren't talking and she wanted to set things straight". When in all actuality she made things way worse! She basically chose a relationship with someone Jason despises over a relationship with Jason. He said she literally looked dumbfounded when he told her that pursuit of that relationship would have consequences.
In past few months she has refused to acknowledge Harrison. Today Jason asked her why she isn't excited about him. Do you know what she said?? She gave some lame ass excuse about reading on the blog and not hearing it from him. Did she find out from the blog? YES. Did Jason try to talk to her about him? YES. He talked to her the day we found out he was a boy , did she have anything to say? Nope. Since then he has mentioned "getting ready for baby" to which she promptly changes the subject.
But the real kicker is this:
She wanted to take him back to PA and put him in a treatment facility, b/c she thinks he is so depressed and off his rocker. She said nobody in their right mind would cut off family the way he has. Well, if your family is disloyal, secretive, conniving, untrustworthy and refuses to acknowledge your wife and the child growing in her...well I say you'd be crazy to stick around.
She had the opportunity to stay and watch one of Jonathan's football games, but she chose to go back to OKC early so she could meet up with her new best friend! Priorities, priorities!!
It bothers me more than it bothers Jason. He says he's used to it and almost expects it from her. He's never felt he was #1 in her life and the trend is just continuing. I love Jason and my children so much that of course I want to protect them and keep them safe. The children will be affected. They will no longer go to PA in the summers, she will have to come visit them here. And if she continues to ignore Harrison it could get worse. She will not be allowed to send gifts to only 2 of my 3 children. As much as Jason says he's used to it, it still has to hurt to know that your mother is picking a relationship with someone else instead of a relationship with you and your children. She is the one who is missing out, but it still makes me sad for Jason, Jonathan, Savannah, and Harrison.
I feel a little better now, maybe I can get some sleep :O)

And we're back!
Despite the children's protests of the laptop getting dropped...the only thing wrong with it was the hard drive was shook lose and wasn't connected properly. Which means I didn't lose anything from my hard drive!! Whoo-hoo!
Not much going on right now. Lots of football practice and games. We finally got info on girl scouts for Savannah. I'm trying to rest as much as possible, but it doesn't ever seem to work :O)
I have a few things to vent about, but since I posted a HUGE blog over on the baby's blog I'll wait a day or two. It's nothing big, just the in laws....

DEAD
That's what our laptop is. For now anyway. I have to send off to get a reboot disk to try and get it fixed. Tech support sucked. I'm so upset that 4 days after finally getting the net it died. I think Jonathan and Savannah killed it, but no one is admitting anything. It worked fine before they got on it though.....

Long time no blog!!
We FINALLY got our cable and net hooked up yesterday. This means you should be hearing from me on a much more regular basis again!! I will be posting house pics tomorrow. I have 1 last thing to take care of in the master/nursery! I even have my own little(messy) SB area!!
Jonathan's football games start this weekend. 8 weeks of pure gridiron! I got Savannah signed up for girl scouts. Now we are waiting for them to match her up with a troop. Hopefully we'll hear something soon. Jason's federal aid audit at work is over. This has greatly increased his mood!! I am getting settled back into this SAHM mom thing. I forgot how much I love it! It's even better living here. I go shopping and to lunch or breakfast with my grammie at least once a week. The house is always clean :O) I love that!! I have read more in the past 2 months than I have in the past 2 years! My friend Amy got me hooked on an author named Jodi Piccolt. I have already read Nineteen Minutes, and I'm over halfway through My Sister's Keeper. I have 3 others I checked out from the library just waiting to be read.
Be sure to check out the baby's blog. I will be updating after dinner!!
