Week 8

What a busy and wonderful weekend! And how I wish I would have felt a little bit better. Ryan and I renewed our vows this weekend and had such a good time with everyone who came. It was such a special day and everything turned out so well. I do wish I would have felt a little better though. By the time the evening rolled around, I was ready for bed - but I was a trooper and pushed on through the night!

I had a doctor's appointment yesterday for la bean. Doc told me I needed another ultrasound. I'll be going Thursday to do the ultrasound. Ryan is in training and won't be able to make it which, pardon my vulgarity, sucks. Doc also sent me for more blood work. Something about checking my hormone levels. I could have told him my hormone levels in a phrase without them drawing blood: out of control!

Somehow I managed to make it through our ceremony with just misty eyes a couple times. But the next day, Ryan and I watched a video that mom made for us again with all the pics of our families and I lost it. I also found that The Velveteen Rabbit is probably one of the sweetest and saddest books I've ever read. Riley and I shared that book after his bottle last night and I barely finished it. What a baby. (Me that is, not Riley.)

Am very interested to see what the ultrasound says. Hopefully we'll be able to pick up a heartbeat. We definitely should be able to by now. I would also think that this time we'll be able to get la bean's first pictures, so stay tuned!
