Baby is due in 2 weeks - and I am praying that God brings her here sooner :-)

Hello everyone! This is Annie. It feels so nice to have access to the internet for a little while! I have a lot to update you on, so here I go.

Let's start at the begining. Thanks to our wonderful, amazing, SUPER church friends we were able to get all boxed up and moved out of our trailer on Sunday April 29th. It was exhausting and I couldn't have done it without them. We had to move out cause we sold the trailer (Praise the Lord!)

On Monday April 30, Josh moved in with his brother and I moved way over to Randolph to live with Josh's parents. We can't live together cause his bro lives extra close to work and the place he is building our house at. And his brother has a wife and 4 kids so his house is too crowded for me to comfortably stay (we'd have to share a tiny bedroom with a double bed, whereas now I have this huge room, private bath and a king size bed to myself)

Then, Wed I went to my Dr appt, and doc took one look at my feet and said the two worst words EVER - "Bed Rest." I couldn't do anything until today - not even go to work. So I lounged around his parent's house reading books, doing SuDoKu, and watched a TON of TV. She was concerned about the swelling of my ankles, saying it could be impending preeclampsia and she wanted me to rest in order to prevent it. I have another appt today to see if I can work again. Good news - my ankles are no longer swollen! Yay!

Oh, and I don't look it, but I feel HUGE. I want this baby to be here.

Josh came to Randolph to visit me, and I was sooooo happy. I missed him so much, especially the cuddling. Anyways, it rained, A LOT. It rained so much that we couldn't leave the log home - thier creek ran over the banks and we were flooded into the house until last night when Josh and his dad fixed it with gravel. It was frustrating having to miss church.

So right now I am here at Josh's office supposedly working on my 2 papers that are due this week. But I took a break to update you my friends. The semester is (thankfully) over, I just have to write these last 2 papers then I am officially DONE with my classes!! My last day at work is this Saturday - sweet :-) I don't like it there cause its so stressfull and my life has enough stress without this.

Oh, in other news, (very sad news) my grandfather passed away this weekend. The funeral is this Thursday 4 hours away. He died of internal bleeding that was a side effect of his cancer. Even though we were pretty close (he gave me away at my wedding) I knew this was coming and he isn't suffering from cancer anymore. But I really don't want to go to the funeral. People say, "he'd want you there, he loved you." But the funeral is for the living not the dead - plus, he's with Jesus, I doubt he cares who is at this funeral. One of the reasons I don't want to go is that it takes 4 hours to get there, so I'd be away from my Doula and Doctor for at least 12 hours straight. That kinda freaks me out this late into the pregnancy. I am 38 weeks along....not that I would go into labor this Thursday, but the slight what if makes me nervous.

Thank you for reading this rambling. God bless you all!!
