Took a slight break from blogging. Not that we don't have a lot going on, but we are not supposed to have internet at home. I cancelled this a month ago. So we put the lap top away and forot about having internet at home. That is until we received our Charter bill. We are still getting billed for internet and we still are hooked up. So I called 3 days ago to complain. I was told that it was for sure cancelled this time. Hmmm 3 days later and I am on the internet. So I am going to take advantage of it before I call once again!!


We are doing well as a family. Tim has had his reversal surgery. He only required 2 nights in the hospital this time. What a trooper he has been through all of this. He is doing great afterwards. Took 3 weeks off from work. Today was his first day back. He is still a little under weight but getting stronger every day. I thank God every day that he is still here with us. After all of this he has absolutly no diet restrictions at all. I think that is awesome. He is still a little leary about eating certain foods. And I don't blame him!!!


Layne had a great birthday and we all had a good time having the whole family over. Serena's birthday is up next in August. She has already started a count down! Right after her birthday she will start kindergarden. It is so hard for me to think about my little Rena to be going to school. She is beyond excited. She wants to ride the bus with her big brother!!!


I am doing good with the pregnancy. As of tomorrow I am 28 weeks pregnant. My little ticker is off and I need to re do it. We have scheduled our c- section for 10/3/11. I am nervous about it but I competly trust my doctor and God. Payton is growing at a fast past these days. I was doing really well on weight gain up until about 24 weeks. Now it seems like I am gaining about a pound a week. I am up to 9 pounds now. Yikes! Really that means I am up 5 from pre pregnancy weight. The average weight gain by now is between 17 pounds and 25 pounds. Thank goodness I am not up there. I am hot and uncomfortable as it is. Payton measures about 2 weeks ahead of where we are in the pregnancy. I guess this is what happens when mom is 5'4" and dad is 6'3"!!! We are going to have a long baby!! I am so excited to meet the newest member of our family. I wonder what he will look like?


I only have 2 weeks left for school. Every day is one step closer to finally being done. I am so excited. I do love massaging but the school is HOT and I am uncomfortable bending and leaning. I know once I no longer have a squirming baby in my belly I will be more thatn willing to massage. Want to know something crazy? After the first of the year I am going to continue with my education. Yea you read that correctly. I want to be a registered nurse. I would love to combine massage therapy with nursing and help as many people as I can! I am going to take it slow and easy. Classes maybe one week a night. The goal is to have my degree by the time Payton goes to school.


Sorry this turned into such a long post but I had a lot to catch up on. I am sure there something that I am missing. Hopefully it won't be as long until I post again.
