A dear friend from high school came down from Olympia yesterday to visit. My dear husband spent the day with the boys and we went out just the two of us. We spent most of the day together just wandering around downtown Portland. It was so good to see her and visit, as we haven't spent time together like that in forever it seems. We had a wonderful time, walking, talking, and just catching up with each other. I am so glad I got to spend time with her before our baby came. We ended out afternoon at The Tea Zone which is a wonderful little tea house in the Pearl district. I had a tea called Evening in Missoula (A blend of Chamomile, rosehips, raspberry, papaya, peppermint, spearmint, strawberry leaf, vanilla, passion flower, red clover, star anise, and wild cherry bark) Oh my, it was absolutely fabulous! I drank it with some milk and sugar...oh so good. The guy at the shop said it had a complicated taste and he was right. However, I didn't pay enough attention when I drank it to be able to describe it, but it is my new favorite. I am going to try and buy some online or something. Definitely reccamend it:) So yeah, we did a bit of walking, at least much more than i am used to. I usually nap every day, so skipping my nap caused me to just be quite tired by the late afternoon early evening. And then i had a hard night. I fell asleep alright, woke once or twice to turn and go to the bathroom, but than I woke up at like 4:30am and my belly and hips were just so sore. I had a hard time getting comfortable and going back to sleep. Needless to say I kept Ryan up to as I needed him to massage me and help me get comfortable. So we slept in and didn't go to church today. I took a bath this morning and that was helpful. Very relaxing. We're just going to rest today. I am feeling so big and achy...I am just praying this baby comes soon...i don't know long I can go on...oh the woes...I know the Lord will give me strength, i just need to take it one day at a time. The end is in sight and I know we will be holding our baby soon...the end just seems so long...
Good news about baby's kidney. It's not better as far as I know, but I met with the specialist this past Friday and it was good to hear what he had to say. About 50% of the time these things clear up on their own. They will do some test a day or two after he is born and go from there. Usually they just like to wait and watch it, and do another test a month later. As long as things are not looking worse, we'll just wait and see. The thing he kept saying to me is not to worry and we'll just see how things are after he is born. And if they need to, it is a fixable problem. So, that was good for me to hear.
Okay, so I thought this was funny. It's a quote by Benjamin Franklin, on a napkin that says,"Beer is proof the God loves us and wants us to be happy."
