Stints and Stones may break my bones!

So it has been a long time since I posted. I thought I would give a quick update. I am having another little surgery on Thursday morning where they are going to be able to blast my kidney stone and remove the stint that has been so miserable! Yippppeee! I found out yesterday that they will have to put in another stint for 2 weeks after the surgery. But they promise me it won't hurt so much because it is smaller, bendy and I won't have a stone. (it is called the black beauty and jess really likes that) The good news, my little guy is just cruising around in there and being a wild man! He likes to go over and kick at my stint just to keep me aware of him. I am getting so excited to get him here! Only 12 weeks to go! Thanks to all my good friends and family who have called and brought meals and for Shamarie who drove me to the hospital as I filled my barf bowl, hung out with me for 4 long hours before I got the drugs, and tended my boys until midnight! Jess and the boys have been so good to me as well! And today my doctor hugged me and told me how much he wants to help me feel good. I am indeed very blessed! And you are all invited over this weekend, Jess will be making Stone Soup!

60 SECOND RUN THROUGH THE WAREHOUSE!

So Jess won the most hilarious trip ever! We went to Milwaukee and got 60 seconds to run through a wharehouse filled with awesome stuff! There were strict rules and some seriuos strategy involved. Jess even had a "conference call" a few weeks before all about it. Jess was in charge of gathering as many items as possible and putting them in the cart. I was only allowed to drive the carts. We had 20 minutes to make our plan at the warehouse. Then we had to run as team #6 (out of 45) so we were worried because we did not have much time to watch other teams. I strapped on my maternity belt and Jess made sure to break in his new running shoes that he got specifically for the race. We lined up at the starting line and we were Off!! When the cart was starting to fill up I would run and get another one and meet Jess on the next isle. We ended up filling 3 carts. The last 10 seconds was serious high stress! Our plan was that as they began the countdown 10-9-8 Jess was to run to the BBQ grill at the end of the last isle and lift it off the ground before the buzzer went off. We were doing so awesome and made it to isle 3 but the end was a long way when the countdown started. Jess took off 8-7-6 and suddenly was on his back 5-4 the panic has set in now... but Jess is an athlete and a fast thinker and so while on his back he reached to the isle next to him and grabbed a golf bag and lifted it in the air just as the buzzer went off!! We ended up with 17 nice items! 37 inch plasma tv, sony home theater, GPS, video camera, Nikon digital camera, pots and pans, edger, blower, Bose docking station, DVD player, a pack and play for the the baby.... a golf bag... an iron that Jess accidentally grabbed. My favorite part of the whole race was later when Jess explained his fall to me. He said that his body has never done this to him before, he thinks he was hyperventilating or else he did not breath for 60 seconds because he said that suddenly his legs just gave out, he did not trip he just went down! All things considered, we did really well! What a great memory! If you look closely in the picture you can see the golf bag.
