... sigh ...

Ok, quick post for some updates. Last Thursday my stepmom ended up in the Critical Care Unit at the hospital. Don't really want to get into all the details, but she's still there and things are ... well we are staying as positive as we can. She was in a medically induced coma for several days and (gosh, what day is it??) a few days ago the doc decided to take her out of it. We are waiting for her to wake up. My sister flew up from FL on Sat. and is still here. Not sure when she is heading back. I'm on a hiatus from work so I can try to keep my dad and stepmom's business somewhat functional... My dad and sister have been crashing on our two couches in the living room. Life is a bit upside down right now. Hoping to be up-righted as soon as possible. Prayers and positive thoughts are greatly appreciated!

I'm keeping myself as rested as possible and thankfully my appetite has not decreased in the slightest. Tuesday, 2/22/11, I hit the 22 week mark. :) I took pics, maybe I'll get them uploaded today. We had our 4th Hypnobirthing class last night and it was good. The little relaxation/hypnosis session at the end of the class was really good for me. I needed it. And, what's most exciting, last night Super Bean was moving around so much, I felt her with my hand on the outside! Tons of times! And Brian did too! :) I can tell she's getting bigger in there because I'm feeling her pokes and jabs on my sides and stuff now, when up until a few days ago, I only felt them in the front right under my belly button. So this is making me happy. We had our checkup last week and all looks good. Heard the heartbeat again, so that was awesome. Oh and I've gained about 15lbs thus far, which is in the "good" range. My friend Melissa found out she is having a boy, yay!

::Sigh:: I guess that is all for now. Not sure when I'll get around to my next post but hopefully it won't be too long...
