29 weeks and counting

Well, alot has happened in the past 2-3 months! I am already coming up on 30 weeks next Tuesday...hard to believe the time has passed so fast. It has been a busy couple of months and i have been ordered to relax and rest often. Back arouns 24-25 weeks we had a scary close call with contractions coming every 4-5 minutes and lasted over 8 hours before the hospital gave me some meds to stop them. Luckily the Dr. didn't put me on bedrest but he has advised me to use light duty as it seems my uterus contracts when i get up and walk for more than an hour at a time. Luckily i am not having any signs of an impeding labor and my cervix is closed and very thick at 5 cm. He thinks i am in good shape and should hold little Evan in to term...or later with my track resord previously, lol. If your wondering we have finally cam eup with a name, we picked it out on New Years Eve...seems so long agao now! Evan Andrew Steele. Evan after Jason's grandpa and Andrew after my dad. So our final child, our son will have a strong family name to pas on forever!

Our house had a healthy winter until about 2 weeks ago and then the nice weather started us on the yucky allergies and head colds. I ended up at the Dr. on Monday of this week with a sinus infection and allergy problems. I basically slept from Monday until this morning when Hailey ended up at the mec and she has strep throat. I am just hoping our house is on the mend and we get healthy soon.

The weather is gorgeous and i have shorts on, it feels so good and makes me wish we all were healthy and could play outside. I am ready to have the windows opened and fresh air coming in to blow the germs out of the house!

We have had birthday party after birthday party over the past month...and Haileys is coming up this weekend. Lots of GirlScout activities and me trying to get our scouts their cookie sale!It has been a challenege keeping up with all my volunteer activities. Everyone always tell me that i am a busybody but this pregnancy has made me slow down and it is super hard to do! I guess i like keeping busy and having to rest frequently and not walk much has made life super complicated. I know it is what i have to do to keep myself and m=out litle Evan safe though.

Our main computer crashed a couple of weeks ago and we are waiting for tax money to order a new bigger one so i don't have my normal photoediting software for my pictures. I have lightroom on my laptop but have never really tried to use it and understand it the way i should. I ended up taking some sexy maternity pics last week and used lightroom and i was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to use for basic lighting issues and fun changes. I have told everyone it might just be my new best friend, lol! I will post a couple of pics here for you all to see. I really like them! Hopefully i will write again soon, but more than likely i will get busy and forget until after Evans born....guess we will have to wait and see!

They are a little racy, actually alot racier than i originally wanted. Then i found the beauty in them....it is a growing baby in there and it is beautiful!
