Is it over yet?

Well....it has been a very long week already for us!! Monday afternoon found me leaving work in the middle of the afternoon to race to the hospital. My cousin Lori, who like her sister Lisa has always been more like a sister to me had been in the ER the night before having contractions and being 2 cm dialated. She has 10 weeks to go with her pregnancy. Our lovely Blessing sent her home and just said to call her doctor and try and get in the next day. She went to her doctor at one that afternoon and he told her she was in labor, had been since last night and needed to get to the hospital IMMEDIATELY. Needless to see it gave us all a scare as we patiently waited in the waiting room. Her dr did not think they would be able to stop it at this point and that the baby would be coming. Luckily, they gave her and the baby a shot and were able to stop things, she had to go back on Tuesday for a second shot and has orders to do nothing and go back to the dr on Thursday. All is calm for now, but they have to hold off at least another 5 weeks or they said the baby would have to be flown to Springfield for being too premature. So please keep her in your prayers! Now today her sister is in the hospital, she went to the ER last night for severe dehydration even though she is drinking and was not sick, but is now having severe pains and they think there is something going on with her kidneys. They have so far diagnosed her with a bad small intestine infection and will be doing more tests in the morning so please keep her in your prayers as well that it is not more serious. So.....other then visiting the hospital far too many times in one week, the only other news around here is my new project :-) I have left the bathroom to Rocky (he is just about finished by the way and ready to begin putting up the new drywall and shower door) and ripped the carpet off our stairs. Turns out there are pretty nice hardwood floors underneath, that I believe (with Grandpa's advice and expertise) I should be able to refinish very nicely. So.....sometime next weekend I'll probably be calling you Grandpa to come take a look and let me know what you think. Other then that we are getting ready for our trip down south, I'm ready for a weekend away, it's been far too stressful of a week!! Well, I'm off to bed early....had to be at work at 7 today and have to again tomorrow for meetings......I know most of you are thinking 7 is not that early, but it is for me!!
luv you all and have a happy easter!!
