This weekend we celebrated Jeff's birthday with my family. Big Man had been over to Grandma's earlier in the week and he planned the whole party out. He made a list of games to play and a grocery list of stuff that was needed for the party. So last night, he was in charge of games at the party. It was hilarious. Some of them included: jumping, hula hoop, bingo, and pin the nose on the bunny. The kids had a blast and Jeff and my brother were good sports. Jeff had big man on his lap and told him that this was the funnest party he'd ever had. Big Man gets a smile on his face and says thanks dad, that makes my eyes water a little. He's such a cutie-and quite the event planner too.
I've been having trouble sleeping the last few nights. I went to bed at 10:30 last night, but as midnight rolled around, I was still awake. All of the sudden the alarm on the clock went off. I jumped up and turned it off. Before I knew it Jeff was out of bed and had picked up his phone. He was checking messages or something. He went into the bathroom and then headed downstairs. I waited a few minutes to see if he was coming back. Finally I decided just to go to bed. I actually fell asleep pretty quickly after that. So this morning I asked him about it. He told me went downstairs thinking it was 6 a.m. and was so tired decided to go back to bed for an hour. When he woke up an hour later, he wondered why in the world he was downstairs in the middle of the night. I can't stop laughing. I'm sure he'll be thrilled I shared this story, but it was pretty good.
Finally the last noteworthy event of the weekend. Sunday morning I woke up at 4:45 with a stuffy nose, sore throat and a major side ache. I laid in bed for a while to see if the side ache would go away. When it didn't I went downstairs and decided to read for a while. It only got worse. Little Princess's labor started out as a stomach ache that got progressively worse and turned into contractions, so I was kind of curious if this would be the start of labor. From 5 a.m.-1 p.m. my back and side were killing me (during which time I had to teach a gospel doctrine lesson-ugh) . It was a constant pain though and not starting and stopping. I called labor and delivery and she said if it was false labor to take a hot bath and it would go away. So I did. The pain lessened a lot and once I laid on the bed the pain came back in short little bursts-about 3 seconds every minute or so. It was really bizarre. By about 4:00 it went away completely. Through all this, I was really tired and ornery-sorry family :( Since then I have felt fine. I've never had false labor before and I have to say it's really disappointing. It gets your hopes up all for nothing. Not to mention being in pain for that long only to have it go nowhere. Oh well, I'm hoping this week we'll have some real results. Stay tuned.
