i'm a stay at home mom. i'm crazy about my little boys. in a past life i was an acting major. i love to read more than almost anything. if i could get a second degree it would be in art history. i love jesus somethin' awful. and i go to an amazing church who loves me well.

okay... just back from another stress test at osu. everything looked good for today. so three more days of bed rest and fetal movement counting and then back to osu for another ultrasound and stress test on tuesday.

chris is furiously trying to get the house ready for the potential of an anyday baby... and he is being wonderfully supportive and sweet.

thanks so my mom and dad for letting us crash here and to joanne and frank for taking the boys today. i'm heading over there around dinner time to hang out and spend the night. musical houses for now. i just like to be where the boys are. even though i can't do a whole lot i like to be available for a snuggle on the couch, reading a book or watching a show together. i just want them to feel like i'm still available.

i'm trying to enjoy myself. who knew enforced time off would actually be difficult? but for months i've been longing for some rest. so i better start savoring it. it probably won't happen again for a very long time.

will keep updating.

there has to be a better name than 'stress test', ya know? it's like, could we not emphasize the anxious feelings by saying the word 'stress' whenever possible?

geesh. silly doctors.

i should actually correct myself zena... it's technically called a non-stress test. does that make it better?

talk about silly doctors though... i actually had a medical intern say, in reference to why the baby was so small and my amniotic fluid low..."well, he may be starving."

holy cow... don't ever use the word "starving" when talking to a mother. all night i couldn't shake that one word. couldn't she have said... "he may be getting insufficient nourishment" or something less traumatic sounding.

starving...

anyway... tests have proven that he is not starving... so no worries there.
