What's going on here.....

So, many of you know that John is in Mexico right now and will be there for a few weeks. His job sent him there to repair a plane that went off the runway and damaged both wings. Jude and I are doing ok, but we miss him. Jude definitely is missing him even though he doesn't express it like someone older would. He just isn't quite himself a lot of the time. He isn't sleeping well at night, and he often asks for his daddy. Last night we were at a friends house and he found a male figurine toy and was calling him daddy and having conversations with him. It was kind of funny, but it also made me really sad. It's hard because I can't really explain to him where daddy is and what he's doing. We were able to video chat the first night he was gone, but since then we haven't been able to get any of the programs to work. So that has been frustrating.

I had a doctors appointment yesterday and she was concerned that I was having too many contractions too close together. She said that it was perfectly normal to have them in the third trimester, but becomes a concern when they happen this often. So she told me to stay well hydrated, try to take it easy and keep my feet up as much as possible. Unfortunately, that is hard to do with a house and a toddler to care for and a husband in Mexico, but I am trying. So anyway, that's what's up in the Laurie household. Nothing exciting, just trying to make it through the next couple of weeks:)

Surely makes you appreciate your husband, eh? It's sweet that Jude misses him so much, but it is sad, too. It's so hard when you can't explain things to him in a way he can understand.

When you come to visit, you can put your feet up and keep them up!

Aww...poor Jude! I hope putting your feet up helps! Good timing for this trip, I guess! Did you drink your water today?
