Most of you know, but for those of you who don't...Ella is going to be a big sister! I know the picture is not that great, but my camera is broke so we have to take what we can get. I have been pretty sick throughout this one. Maybe even worse than with Ella. I just got a pickline put in yesterday and am home bound on an IV 24 hours a day for a bit. I look pretty awesome pushing my pole around with me everywhere I go. =) Don't worry. Brady has pictures already. It is a pretty weird experience. Getting the pickline was a lot more of a procedure than I would have thought. They put me in a hospital room and I thought they would just come and put it in. Well no, they take you down the hall into this crazy high tech huge room that looks like people should be on their death bed to go in there. They transfer you to the surgery table and use an ultrasound and xray machine. The weirdest part is that they let me watch it happen on the x-ray screen. Weird. Brady was in the waiting room and came in when it was all done. We went home and then a home heath nurse comes and teaches you how to change your iv bag and give yourself meds. Then she left me to do it alone this morning and won't be back until tonight. It's a little freaky that they teach you all this stuff that you have to do perfectly in order to not get infection and then leave you to do it alone. It's a crazy experience that is for sure. They are not sure how long I will need it. I may get food through it too if I can't eat by tomorrow. If all goes well I will be able to get out in a week and only hook it up at night. Not sure how long I will have to do this, so we will see.

Yuck. That's pretty much all I have to say.
Other than that I'm thrilled to be getting another neice/nephew. And thrilled for you all to have a new baby to love. But yuck to what it's taking to get him/her here.
Do you know your due date?
oh my gosh that stinks so bad! I'm sorry :( whens your due date?
As far as it stands right now the due date is set for Sept 4...but we are all hoping for it to be delivered in the end of August if everything lines up right. =)
WOWWOW, big sister??? I can't believe you didn't tell me. Congratulations!!!! It's exciting, I hope you feel good soon though. It's probably harder to be sick when you have a 18 month old to take care of too. Good luck! Love you and miss you.
