Moving day


I just wanted to post this cute picture of Will on the blog--no good reason for it, really, except that I wanted to. We are moving this morning. Last night was a long night for me. We were packing and went to bed around 11:30. Around 1:00 I thought I was going to die. I felt like I had knives in my stomach and for a minute I even wondered if I was going into labor. It was awful. Instead, I just threw up. I've thrown up many times in my life (most of this happened in 2005) but I have never felt anything like this. I am feeling a little better this morning but still feel these crazy phantom stabs of pain every so often. I got about 4 1/2 hours of sleep last night. Anyway, we are excited to move today.

Oh, man -- been there, done that. Slow down a little and put your feet up. I once had a doctor really get after me when he told me I had to lie down so many minutes each day (when I was pregnant with Lance) in order to keep him safe inside of me. I laughed at him and said, "Yeah, right -- I have six little kids running around. Do you know what would happen to our place if I laid down even for five minutes?!" He didn't think I was funny and said, "The single most important thing you are doing right now is creating a life inside of you. That's more important than dishes or vacuuming, or anything else you can do. You are doing something important just by letting that little person grow inside of you." That sobered me up considerably -- especially since he was Catholic. I learned to slow down a little bit and paid more attention to the need for rest. When our bodies react like yours has, it's a good indication that you have gone too far too fast. Please take care of yourself! Will you have a new phone number? Is it hooked up yet?
