Welcome to the world.....

WOW what a week!

The past couple of weeks Amber's blood pressure has been high but would get better when she was lying down so they put her on bed rest. She also had been going to the Dr three times a week to get checked. On Wedsneday her blood pressure was high enough where the Dr wanted to monitor her in the hospital for 24 hours. She has been there ever since.

On Satuday they gave her a steroid shot to help the babies lungs develop.

This morning she started having mild contractions and when ever she would sit or stand up her blood pressure would go up and Zachary's blood pressure would go down.


The Dr said that it was time.

So I would like to have everyone meet our new NEICE!!!

Great Way to start the month!!!

Okay so does everyone remember that I won on Sept 11 all 14 Beatles CD's remastered? Well that started on 09-09-09 and ended on Sept 30th. They had 3 winners every day (not including weekends) and they had a grand prize of:

-The collector’s edition Mono and Stereo Boxed Set Catalogs
-The Beatles: Rock Band game, with an X-Box 360 gaming system
-A limited edition gold record, commemorating 9-9-09, etched with your name!

So this morning I'm listening to the radio with my headphones on (because Katie is watching her show while eating..I cannot take Dora at that hour of the morning) and the DJ says "We're going to call the winner of the Beatles prize in a couple of mintues" Since I am in the drawing I decided to get my phone (and put it on normal not meeting) I then went in to check on Randal and went to get something. Then I heard my phone go off....

and I thought "If this is Adam I'm going to be upset!"

Then I saw 214 area code

oh my GOD!

Teresa (Second Momma's) name not above it....

I answered and it was the producer of THE MORNING SHOW I LISTEN TO!!!

"Hang on Jody wants to talk to you"

OH

MY


GOD!!!!!


I WON!!!

I tried to be very calm while talking to him. After I got off the phone I called up Adam and just said "TURN ON THE RADIO!!! TURN ON THE RADIO!!! I WON!!! I WON!!! I WON!!! WE GOT IT!!!" I was squealing (and squeeking because I have a cold)

I was first going to drop off Katie and then go straight there but decided to wait until Monday. I need to have this sink in and I need help getting stuff in my car since Randal will be with me. So Teresa, and Rick (father in law who has an SUV), Randal and I will be going over there on Monday to pick up stuff.

Will post pictures on Monday.
