Almost 36 Weeks!

I suppose the unexpected manages to happen when we really aren't expecting it; isn't that why they call it the unexpected? Well, on Friday morning it was pouring out so Brian got a rain day. When we got up Brian said that he felt like someone had just punched him and asked me if he had a black eye. He didn't have a black eye but his face was red and swollen and looking somewhat rashy. So I took him to the doctor. The doctor decided that it could be shingles so we got medicine that was supposed to help the shingles run their course faster. Well, on Sunday the rash had only gotten worse, Brian's eye had started to swell shut and the rash was a flaming red. Since the "shingles" were so close to his eye we had to worry that they might infect his eye and so we took him to emergency where another doctor said that it might not actually be shingles it might be a bacterial infection which could be treated with some antibiotics. So we got Brian the antibiotics and since then the swelling is gone, the red is gone and he is healing up nicely. THANK GOODNESS it isn't shingles and he is healing so nicely! That was our weekend adventure. Oh and I was able to go to the Canada wide Stake broadcast and really enjoyed it. Brian had to miss it because we still thought he had shingles and that is contagious to people who haven't had chicken pox.

I am now almost 36 weeks pregnant and I have my doctors appointment today. After today's appointment I start having weekly appointments until the baby gets here. I'm getting so excited. I can hardly wait to have my baby and to start being a mommy. I am of course nervous excited, I suppose with any big changes like this that's normal. I keep asking Brian if he feels nervous, but he's not, he is just as calm as ever, nothing ever riles him, thank goodness, he is my rock. He is getting excited though, everytime we talk about having this baby and we realize how soon it is he smiles his adorable grin. I know our families are all getting really excited too. This baby is the first grandbaby on both sides and the first great grandbaby on my mom's side so there are a lot of people anxiously anticipating this little ones arrival.
