The countdown is on!

10 DAYS!!!!

After a friendly prompt --you know who you are ;-)-- I decided to do an update before we leave on Sunday.  It's so weird to think we are leaving in less than two days!! 
This week has been nothing short of chaotic.  Yesterday I had my last dr. appt and had a scheduled non-stress test (NST).  I woke up at 5 that morning with stomach cramps, which led me to have a mini-panic attack.  I was hoping it wasn't contractions and that it was something else.  When I arrived at the dr.'s office, I told them that I was having stomach cramps and didn't really feel "right".  So, when I went down to the hospital to get the NST they were able to see what was going on.  Turns out I was dehydrated, leading me to have small contractions.  But, I think I have a stomach bug, because I still feel a little yucky.  So, I was hooked up to some fluids for a while to get me all hydrated.  The dr. came down to the hospital and checked me.   I am not dialated at all, praise the Lord!  That calmed some of my nerves.  But, I was given strict orders not to do anything.  The dr. said, "I know that you probably have a list of a million things to do to get ready to go to San Francisco, but you can't do any of them.  Make a list and have someone else do it for you"...uh...is that possible?!  We've been managing and I've been trying not to be overly picky about how things get done.  You  know, I like it my way! ha!  Mitch is honestly the best husband ever.  Not once has he complained about it and not once has he had an attitude about having to do all the things that I was going to do.  I am so blessed to have such an awesome partner in life.   So as of right now, all we have left to do is one load of laundry, pack the baby stuff, and pack Mitch's stuff.  That doesn't sound too bad.
Tomorrow is going to be a busy day as well.  Daniel has his soccer pictures at 2:30.  Then, at 3:00 we go to the fundraiser that some awesome people are doing for us.  If you have ever been to our town, you know that a town favorite restaurant is Las Margaritas (Las Mas to us locals).  It's a Mexican restaurant (duh Heather!) and they are doing a taco feed.  It is going to help us financially as we make trips to San Fran starting Sunday.  We are so blessed to have people do this for us and to think to help us in this way.  Our community has been so awesome and it's so neat to see everyone come together.  That is one great thing about a small town, everyone joins together when something needs to get done.  So, we are excited about the taco feed tomorrow.  They are doing a silent auction, raffle, bake sale, and of course, selling tacos!  Sounds like it's going to be a good time.  I'll be there...sitting...drinking my water! ha!
We'll be updating our blog pretty often once we get to San Fran and especially once PJ is born.  The blog posts will probably be bombarded with pics.  Hope that's ok ;-)
