Finally...pictures and a kid post!
Oh to be 9 years old and carefree.
Yeah! Grandma Eccles came to town at the beginning of March. She was able to go into Brady's classroom for his "Poetry Coffeehouse" and Reader's theatre performances. It was a special treat for both of them.
The last couple pictures are all about Fat Tuesday. I really LOVE the holidays and learning all about them. So, when Brady had to make a Mardi Gras float for school out of geometric shapes I thought it would be a good opportunity for us to learn the history of the holiday. So, we had a bit of a cultural FHE and then enjoyed King Cake for a treat. Our local bakery made them and since they were safe for Emma we indulged. It was a lot of fun. Ellie (our baby) got the piece with the baby so she was king for a day at our house...meaning she got out of her chores the next day. Next year, we're going to do it again. Fun for all ages.

Baby Update
I figured it was about time I gave a baby update. We just received several test results so I figured I'd copy my brief Facebook posts into a blog entry.
(Last night) Darn...do you think that the reason I keep getting positive test results is become I'm trying so hard to have a positive attitude? Anyway, the doctor called and said my Fetal Fibronectin test came back positive. This means that my already high chances of going into preterm labor have significantly increased by 30% of actually having this baby within the next 14 days. Sometimes women get false positives, but since me and my doctors office took all the necessary precautions to avoid this, it is believed to be more accurate in my case. The best thing I can come up with is that this little boy is really anxious to meet his mama. Oh yeah...and so the strict bed rest and the drugs continue.
I was blessed last night with a short reprieve to my Relief Society Birthday dinner. Yes, I was highly drugged and yes I laid on one of the foyer couches that was moved to the entrance of the gym so I could be a part of things, but it was all still wonderful. For the first couple of minutes I was there, I was a little embarrassed and worried that all the sisters would think..."what is she doing here...why are we doing all these things to help her if she's able to be here tonight?" I have to say that those feelings were quickly replaced with feelings of love and concern...not judgement. I haven't been able to have any social contact with these wonderful ladies since January and it was exactly what I needed to give me that little boost to happily stay on bed rest. I found it interesting that my doctor called with the positive test results during the RS dinner. If I would have been at home all alone on my couch when I received that discouraging news, I would have started crying and probably become somewhat depressed. However, my experience was totally the opposite. I feel so strengthened by the love I received last night that I know I can handle whatever the Lord has in store for me. Thank you to all who were there. Thanks for lifting my spirits and giving me the strength I need to carry on. I love you all.
