Pain, Sleep, Cheer and Legos

Daddy pretty much handled things today since I had an unexpected surgery last night. Just been in a little pain today and am thankful he was home to help so much. We ended up keeping the kids home from school because we didn't have the van but Nic got it all taken care of and our van is happily parked in the garage tonight. Daddy took Juliette to cheer practice today so I didn't get to see what she worked on & have no pictures. However, he brought home a sheet of her cheer moves and another sheet with the actual chants. Are they even called chants? Anyhow ~ she was excited to go this time and came home, ready to eat and go to bed. That means she must've worked hard, right? Tayla and I worked on her enterance questions for the FLL (First Lego League) Robotics Club that she wants to be a part of. Tomorrow she will submit the form at school and we should hear something next week. Next week also starts the beginning of her 2 week long, before and after school Safety Committee (Crossing Guard type thing) Duties. Jacob really wanted to be a part of the FLL Club but he isn't old enough yet. So we will keep our ears and eyes open to get him started in some type of sport or club. All of these opportunities for the kids is an affirmation for me that moving here was the right move for our family. I definitely had a peace about it and believe fully that if you have peace about something after praying then the Holy Spirit must be guiding you in that direction. Next Wednesday, Sept 5th, we will have our "big" ultrasound and first meeting with this high-risk doctors group locally. I'm ready to meet these doctors and see what they have to say. They specialize in 'advanced ultrasounds and testing' so we'll see what happens. I am just ready to have them tell me this IS a boy. Because I already know it in my heart and believe fully that the Lord spoke to me and told me I would have a son, and was to name him Noah, two weeks before I even found out I was pregnant. So here I am, ready to bed (again, because I had a nap today) and in not as much pain as I was earlier thanks to my 'friend' Norco. I'm definitely ready to NOT have to take these stupid pills, but I'll keep them on hand for after the c-section. Anyhow ~ I hope you're all having a great night. A big thanks to everyone who has helped us get closer to getting the equipment we desperately need for our Cayleigh. I can't wait to see how much she lights up when she can see. We've had glasses before, but they weren't special fit, custom glasses and they squeezed her eyeball, her face and just weren't right for her. Time for me to get to bed!
