Mandi's hospital stay (premature labor)

Mandi went to the doctor two weeks ago on a Tuesday (Aug14th) and was put on complete bed rest at our house because she was dilating and having contractions. She is not due until Sept 21st. She had two shots to strengthen the baby's lungs. Then after her doctor appointment that Friday, she was admitted into the hospital. They gave her medication intravenously to try and stop her labor. She was in the hospital Friday, Saturday, and then came back to our house on Sunday, Aug19th. She is on a pill now to slow labor down. So we've lasted another week and Mandi is now taking predictions of when she will have the baby and how much he will weigh. I say Sept 1st, 6lbs 2oz. So Mandi and Brooklyn have been living with us and we wait in anticipation for that wonderful day when Boston will come!

Mandi and Brooklyn waiting to see if Boston is coming!

Still waiting

These are my friends, the Laurels. For those of you who aren't LDS that is the name of the class we were in at church. We recently had a reunion after 35 yrs. Our lives have taken many different paths, some of us might not have spoken to or seen each other for most of these years, yet we remain sisters in heart and in the gospel. We spent the evening reminiscing about our teen years, college, marriage, kids, and what is going on with our lives now. How much fun was that! We brought photo albums to look through, ate a terrific dinner and played a game where we wrote 3 things about us and then we drew them out of a jar and read them and tried to guess who wrote it. There were some really funny things, spiritual things, and just plain fun things to learn about each other. I think this is a little taste of what heaven will be like when we are all reunited again for eternity! Not many people can say they have friends like these and I am so grateful to be a part of their lives.
