pumpkins

we started carving pumpkins the other day.

working on buying a house

we are almost ready to close on a house! its been a crazy process but i think its actually gonna happen now. we've been serious about buying for several months and finally got our credit high enough to be taken seriously. we realized how fast we would have to get things moving when we got word of our apartments being taken over by the bank. and then we ended up without a house to move into since we didn't want to rent when we were looking at houses and putting offers on houses. i tried so hard to stay in our ward for church but i guess thats not where we need to be anymore. its really very sad to me. but i think we found the perfect house for us. after we close on it i'll post the address or put it on facebook. but its 1400 sq ft with 4 bedrooms 2 bathrooms and fenced back yard. two car garage, and a possibility of making a 5th bedroom. its amazing what things fall into your life at different times!

crazy nite

so last nite, early this morning about midnite i woke up with very bad pain under my ribs. couldn't hardly move or breathe or anything. i eventually called the hospital to ask about the pain. i told them i am 36 weeks pregnant and where it hurt. they asked if i had any contractions. i didn't notice any at the time so i said no. they told me to come in if the pain didn't go away soon. so i tried to go back to sleep and i started feeling contractions mostly in my back. i started timing them, 3 minutes apart! thats never happened to me! so i let them continue for about 30-45 minutes then decided it was time to go be checked out to make sure things were either gonna stop or really get going. i was in the hospital for about 4 hours. with contractions anywhere between 2 minutes apart to about 7 or 10 minutes apart. i still got sent home cause they weren't doing anything but being a pain. i didn't figure i had too much stress that would actually try to cause labor. at least they didn't try to stop the contractions! she said i'm far enough that if baby wants to come, she can. but still so far no baby and very few contractions right now.
