23weeks!!

Sorry I have neglected my blog, we were away on vacation in the Poconos. It was wonderful! I have lots of news and I will start with the most wonderful news of all.

We left for vacation last Saturday the 16th. At 11:30pm I received a phone call from my mom that my dad was getting a liver transplant!! This was the most blessed news our family could have ever received. At 4:30am my dad went in for surgery and came out at 11:30am. He is doing well and getting better every day. Doctors said he was only days away from dying. We are very thankful that another family in their time of sorrow loosing a family member chose to donate their loved ones organs and in turn saved my dads life. So to that family whom ever you are we thank you from the bottoms of our hearts and hope you find comfort in the ultimate gift you gave.

I had my level II ultrasound on the 14th and both babies look wonderful!! And said they are measuring on target. And no we didn't find out what they are.

Well vacation was very nice and fun. We went with Bruce's whole family which their were 10 adults and 10 children altogether. With 6 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms it really was a great place for all of us to stay. Only thing that put a hamper on things for me was the fact the my feet swelled to an enormous size which left it almost impossible for me to walk, so I just hung around the house and read and knitted.

School here begins on Tuesday. Hard to believe summer is just about gone. Josh has started flag football and Sam is in full swing with field hockey. the routine around here is nice to have again.

Fantastic news about your Dad! So glad to her that he's improving now. Belly's looking great. I know it's hard to be pregnant in August, hopefully the cooler fall weather will be easier for you.
