Aloha!



We leave in the morning for Hawaii. I'm looking forward to it, but to be honest, we could be vacationing in Barstow and I'd probably be just as excited. There's a lot of turmoil in the lives of some of our friends and that's been stressful and heartbreaking for us. DH is worn out at work. We're still tired of waiting on the adoption stuff. And it's blazing hot here. So, we're just glad to get away, period.

DH is really excited about Hawaii though, and so I'm excited for him. We're staying with my college roommate, so I'm really thrilled to see her. But at this point, I'm almost too emotionally exhausted to even be excited about the trip. The good news is that most of the packing and errands are done so I can keep a relatively easy pace today. I hope I can get some good sleep tonight so I can be fully rested for the next couple of weeks.

We'll be back in 10 days! Hope you all have a great next couple of weeks!

  4. Have a great trip! We stayed with them for a couple days when we went to Hawaii last fall, too. Make sure Dave takes you on a tour of the base! It was fascinating.

  6. Hope you're having a great time in Hawaii - can't wait to see even more pictures! The steroids are just two rounds of shots in the bum and are something you can get at 24 wks if the mom is at risk for preterm labor like I am. They help mature the internal organs of the baby - most importantly the lungs of the baby. It causes the baby to produce more surfactant which helps with breathing in a newborn (especially newborn preemie). That way the baby when born early has less breathing problems from being immature. Hope that helps :-) For me it's kind of just an added precaution - like having an extra safety net for little Spot. ((hugs))
