17 Weeks and counting...

Hey Folks! Hope everyone enjoyed the Valentine/President weekend... mine was good, but quiet. Started on Thursday with another check-up with Sam (midwife). All was fine, and we got to hear the heartbeat again- very cool. This time it seemed a bit slower and also more like a drum (last time there was a more swooshy-sound to it). Then we're out all day (errands, work), and I come home to... spotting. GEESH. All is fine now, though, but it landed me on the couch for most of the weekend. I was a tad grumpy about that, since I had been sick (sinus infection) earlier in the week and was T-R-D of sitting/laying around. But Jim and Mom were good company- we watched movies & played Scrabble. Oh, and Jeopardy on the PS2!!

T-R-D means tired. When our nephew Tali was a tad smaller, and would be getting a little sleepy-eyed, I'd say "oh, it looks like someone is getting tired". Fairly quickly, he started protesting "I NO tired". So I spelled it out, and would say to Mom or Jim "someone is T-I-R-E-D". That lasted about 2 times or so, until Tali-boy started arguing "I no T-R-D". How in the world he figured that out so quickly is beyond us!!! But he is a smart guy...

...who we miss. Along with the many Jenkins nieces & nephews up north. It looks like we'll be vacationing in Florida for a while, so it's hard not to see all those cute little ones (and the cute teens or pre-teens too :) We'll have to be content with all our past photos. Of course, anyone is welcome to visit... or to send current pics... or call with funny stories! (Shameless, I know!).

Oh, and before I forget, one last request: please keep my cousin Kelsey in your prayers. She's about 28 weeks along with a little boy, and this last week her placenta ruptured. While the little guy is stable for now, she's got to stay in the hospital. Which is more of a bummer since she has a great 3 yr old daughter (and loving husband!) at home... THANK YOU :) See ya next week...
