We Like Sleep

Last night Abigail slept from 10 - 3:30, 5 hours straight! When she woke up she was hungry and wanted to eat,and I don't blame her because she's never gone this long without eating before. She ate for 45 minutes, until 4:15, then went back to sleep for 3 hours and 15 minutes, until 7:30. We got 8 hrs of sleep, thank you Jesus! This is her first night of only waking up once to eat. I pray that there are many more to come. Now if she would only fall asleep, without a huge struggle, for her naps...

Contractions, YIKES!

On Wednesday during youth group Joy's stomach was run into full speed ahead by a Jr. High boy and it knocked her to her knees. She called the nurse in the morning and had to go into labor and delivery at Kaiser. She was having contractions and was given a shot and to stop them. We were at the hospital from 1:30 - 5:45 and when we left the doctor said that Joy, the baby, and everything were fine. After leaving the hospital we had to rush to our childbirth class where we had to watch ANOTHER birth video. We have an appointment on Tuesday to check up on everything. Phew...what a week!
