These are my friends Jody and Rebekah...they brought us a delicious home cooked meal...thanks girls! And come back soon!

Last night I started taking a different contraction medicine...I only lasted about 3 weeks on the Procardia. But the Procardia was totally messing with my blood pressure, and irritating my stomach, so hopefully this other medicine won't have such bad side effects for me. I always get so nervous when I switch medicines...I just don't like change.

I am excited about the long weekend...not because I have any big plans besides laying on my couch, but b/c Stephen will be off, which means Kaylyn will be around. I swear when she is around the day goes by twice as fast...I just watch her wander around, read her books, and try my best to take care of her without picking her up, or getting up too often. I try to remind myself that she won't remember when mommy had to lay on the couch for 3-4 months...but sometimes I wonder if I am scarring her emotionally. Stephen has been taking Kaylyn to the sitters house in the morning, and she has been crying...she never did that before...so I wonder if me being so "unavailable" is causing her to have trouble. I also wish I could get up and do stuff with her before the other baby comes. If I was having a normal pregnancy I would love to take her to do fun stuff and give her special attention before the shock of having a brother. But then again, maybe it is a good transition, if there is such a thing. Prior to bedrest Kaylyn was very dependent on me and wouldn't let Stephen put her to bed or dress her or anything...but now she will...so maybe I should look on the bright side (I am not to good at doing that).
