All Sorts of Things Going On

Here's our latest updates:

Rooms: As of a few days ago our rooms are now ready to prime and paint. Can't wait to pick up the supplies at Menards and get started. It will be so nice to get the nursery and our room done and everything in the house back where it is suppose to be instead of the fun game of everything in the living room. LOL :)

Well: The well is finished and we hooked it up last night, however everything seemed to go wrong all at the same time. By the time we were able to start covering up the pipe going to the house it was practically dark outside, but Jeff got right after it. I felt very bad for him being out there by himself, it was only 4 degrees outside. Brrrrr... I helped by turning on lights in the house in order to cast light on the yard, pointing a flashlight down the trench for a brief time, and offering kleenex to my hard worker. He was able to put the initial layer of loose dirt on the pipe, then turned on the bucket tractor to push the rest of the dirt in. While the tractor was warming up, Jeff came inside and while we were sitting in the living room, the power went out. After a while, Jeff decided he may as well go outside and push the dirt in. Not long after he got in the tractor it "jelled" up and quit running...not good. Now the water was already pumping through the line and we had no way of insulating the pipe to keep it from freezing. We tried to keep water running in the sink in the entryway through the night, but at some point, it stopped. When we got up in the morning there wasn't anything coming out. I tried to take a shower before going to work and we barely had any water coming out of our shower faucet either. :( So as of right now we have no idea what is wrong, could be frozen pipe, broken pump in the well or that our brand new well is dry. Obviously the last would be the most devastating, let's hope that is not the case.

Baby: We had a little scare yesterday with the baby. I noticed some spotting and hadn't felt the baby move the entire time from when I woke up until 10AM when I called Labor & Delivery at Trinity. They told me I should come in to make sure everything was okay. So I left work and kept my hands on my belly the entire way to Minot to check for movement while Jeff drove. About half way there, I finally felt the baby do a few rolls which made me feel better about the situation, but was still concerned about the spotting. After at least three hours hooked up to monitors, six tubes of blood drawn, and discussing the situation with Trinity nurses and my UND doctor, it was decided that there wasn't anything wrong with the baby or myself. The doctor said that the spotting was more than likely due to the baby wiggling around and normal pregnancy bodily changes. So, the baby taking an abnormally long "nap" and the spotting occurring at the same time was in the end just a strange coincidence. Everyone is doing well, even soon2be Dad. :)

Our next appointment is December 19th, so I will post again later. :)
