I'm finally in the last month of my pregnancy! Yes! It will all be over soon. haha I'm referring to the waddling, the uncomfortable sleeping, the accidental farting, the tickling of my hips and ribs from all the kicking and squirming of this child, etc. To those, I happily bid farewell. I wish I could put mood swings and uncontrollable crying on that list, but there will be more of that in the future. Speaking of which, this past week has been alittle more trying for me than most. Trapper left on Thursday to go down to Houston to figure out what to do with our house and leftover boxes and things. He didn't come back until Saturday evening. It was only 3 days, but I DID NOT want him to go. I had this fear that he would die in some accident and leave me all alone with two little boys. I had a rough time that day after he left. To make me feel better, Trapper had flowers sent to me. : ) It paled in comparison to having him with me, but it was a nice subsitute.
Then, the night after Trapper left, Jackson developed a high fever and was up most of the night. We were both cranky the next day, and I didn't know what to do for him. I had a hard time controlling my emotions that day too. By the end of the day (Friday), my visiting teacher came over and encouraged me to take Jackson down to the clinic just so I would sleep better that night not worrying. She also came with me and stayed with me the entire time. She's a wonderful woman. Anyway, it's a good thing we went, because his temperature went up to 104.6 degrees. That's when we spent about 2 hours in the ER. I so much wished that Trapper could've been there with me. It's tough trying to stay strong for so long without having my rock by my side. I honestly don't see how single mothers do it, and I feel for them. So Jackson has a virus, but we're not sure what kind of virus. Nothing else seems to plague for the poor kid except for the fever. Hopefully, it will soon pass.
So that was my weekend, but it has ended on a better note since Trapper has come home. He is my sunshine and my day goes so much better when I know he'll be home with me at the end of the day.

You look so cute! Oh man, sounds like a rough three days. Having a sick baby is terrible! I totally agree...how do single mothers do it? Glad that your hubby is home with you now!
Oh, how sweet! You are so lucky to have Trapper. And Yay for the new baby. Everything will work out fine.
Accidental farting? I sure am glad I've never had that issue during pregnancy! We are going to be busting out the sprinkler for the heat today so if Jackson is feeling better feel free to come over.
That is exactly why we have husbands. To take the blame when we accidentally fart in public or help us through the ruff times at home and with the kids. I hope thing next month will go well for you.
