Pray for my mom please

I found out tonight after talking to my mom that the mass that they removed along with a portion of her kidney on Monday was definately cancerous. She is home from the hospital, and they have to do tests and such to make sure that it has not spread anywhere else. If that is the case then she for the next 5 years has to have chest x-rays, MRIs and CAT scans, and blood work to make sure that it has not surfaced anywhere else.

So please pray that it has not spread anywhere else, and that they caught it early enough that it won't be an issue.

29 week ultrasound

Well today I had my weekly ultrasound. I have determined that I have a very stubborn son. Thaddeus would move when the Ultrasound Tech needed him to be still, like when she was trying to get a recording of the heartbeat in the umbilical chord. Then when she needed him to move around he would not. She tapped on my belly with the wand and he still would not move, she finally had me move over onto my left side and that got him moving again.

Then it was off to the OB office. I was told for being 29.5 weeks, the echo stress test on the baby was great, my lab work I had done on Friday was at least normal. My proteins on the 24 hour urine where a little above normal. Normal being 300 or lower, mine was 318. Which is ok, considering I do have the beginnings of Kidney disease. The doctor just wanted to get where I am at now so they know when to freak out later on.

I will post the ultrasound pictures and maybe a belly picture a little later, but right now Jeremy and I are off to have dinner at Applebee's!!

safe again

Well yesterday I got a letter in the mail from work, I missed being layed off, due to the fact that I am on short term disability due to my pregnancy. Praise God, because I wouldn't be able to go out and get a job now, and I still need those paychecks. But on my expected date of return I should expect to get layed off, due to an extremely slow time at work. With the hopes of being recalled in September when things are supposed to get busy again. This is the second layoff at work that I have missed. Was told that if I had been working and not out on short term disability I would have been layed off this last Thursday. This is just another way for God to confirm that He definately takes care of us. When I should expect to get layed off is ok, because Jeremy and I have been seriously talking about me not going back to work, so I can go out to Washington while he is away at boot camp and AIT, which is 7 months long total. So am definately thankful for all of this.

Just thought I would share how things are going. Oh and we were able to get the downstairs rented out quickly and to a very sweet young married couple, who are quiet!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hope you all have a great day.
