Another Manic Monday...

I think that keeping busy is good for me. I've been getting up, checking my email with a cup of coffee and then jumping into projects over the last few days. It's helping to keep my mind and body busy which is quite nice.

In true Manic Monday form, I have kind of been all over the place. Jim got up early and took the car to have some work done. Luckily the dealership gave him a rental instead of us having to try to play musical cars tonight plus he was able to come home for a few hours before having to go back in to work. After the kids went down for their naps I decided to start purging a bunch of stuff. Problem lying in the fact that I still haven't cleaned up completely from the room re-arranging. I did four loads of laundry that needed to be put away and when I went to the basement to do the laundry, I noticed that it really needed to be cleaned too. And you know what? Now, nothing is clean except for the bathrooms and I wouldn't even call them "clean". They are clutter free but clean takes on a whole new meaning when you're in the midst of potty training with a little boy! Oh well. I've found that my most successful "cleans" create a gigantic mess in the process... kind of feels like my life sometimes!

On a serious note, my friend KayCee is 25 weeks pregnant with her rainbow baby... those are the babies that come into our lives after a loss. She has been on bed rest for weeks and just after her nanny left this afternoon, she got up to use the bathroom and slipped on one of her 2 year old sons cars and landed on her back. 10 minutes later contractions started. She was taken by ambulance to the hospital and that is the last that I know. In this situation, it really doesn't feel like no news is good news. Please keep her and baby Genny in your prayers. Genny has already shown to be in a precarious situation with slow growth, a loose knot in her cord and pre-term labor. Many prayers have gotten them this far and I hope and pray that the prayers can sustain them even longer.

Update in KayCee's words:
my contractions stopped an hour ago, i am 4cm dilated. i have a non-reactive nst and a positive ffn test. they are starting steroids for lung development and there are talks of a c/s soon, as genny has not grown any since my last appt.
if anyone wants to do anything i just ask that you please pray hard, PLEASE. we really want this baby and have been through hell and high water so far to get her. right now we are asking to be alone. the kids are with family, and hospital staff has been asked to stop calls and refuse all visitors for us, except our pastor.
also a friend of ours in the choir lost a baby several years ago at 23wks - his name was tj. every year our choir does the march of dimes walk for him. if there's anything you want to give, please donate to the march of dimes or a small victory.
i will be back as soon as i can.
