Tuesday, April 13th

Another week is ending and as of tomorrow, I will officially be 36 weeks.  Not long to go, but it feels like forever!  Had a really bad last few days, contractions all through song service at church and playing piano and singing was REALLY rough, but we got through it.  Yesterday I almost passed out in the bathroom.  My friend lent me her blood pressure tester and mine was really low.  I had a wicked charley horse and pressure in my right leg and Josh spent an hour massaging it for me after Derk had already spent about the same time.  Still hurt at bedtime, but is much better this morning.

This morning, we are supposed to get rain and it's gray out there.  They even predicted a possible thunderstorm!   Supposed to be 15C and windy today.

Still have sick kids, Zach had a high fever yesterday, Jenaya was puking on Sunday with a high fever, we've gone through a bottle of tylenol already sigh... Audi is doing better today and so is Jenaya.  Haven't seen Zach yet.  Had a terrible dream this morning that we lost him while out in what seemed like Regina where I used to live.  Awful dream trying to find him. 

Feeling a bit better today and hoping to get school accomplished since Josh is home today all day.  tonight is Michael's lessons.  Derk found the leak in our pipes yesterday but in order to fix the issue, we have to gut the bathroom and redo it.  It's because of the way the tub surround was put in.  Dad did it, sick and in the dark because I was coming home that night with Zachary just 24 hrs old and in the awful ice storm.  our power and heat were out and he kept on working intent on finishing.  So stupid, but now?  5 years later almost?  We are still paying for that hasty job.  We can't fix our living room ceiling until we fix the leak and we can't fix the leak unless we gut the bathroom.  WHAT FUN!!!  Well, my room is finished being drywalled and is half mudded and taped for the first coat.  Derk hopefully will work on that tonight.  We have some decisions to make too regarding when to start the parental leave, when to gut the bathroom etc.  sigh... it's going to be scary for a month or so, but we'll make it somehow.

Time to get dressed and get moving I guess.
