Tired of Being Sick & Various Updates

We have all been sick. We have all been sick more in the year we have lived in California than in the previous 4 years we have been married combined. Not sure what the heck it is, but we just can't seem to shake it. One of us will get better, then the second, but by the time the third is getting better one of the others has it again. It is so frustrating. We are just hoping that we are well enough to travel by Thursday so we can go to Oregon for the weekend to be with Nathan when he receives his Endowments. Only time will tell.

We have been trying to get Hannah's new bed ready, but with being sick and just so tired at the end of the day I have yet to sand the dang thing so I can paint it. We did read an article at Rachel's last Doctor appointment that said when you think it is time to move to the real bed test the child by leaving the side of the crib down. We decided to give this a try, and she hasn't climbed out one night. She won't stay in it for anything during nap time (a fact very disapointing and sad for Rachel) but she seems to do great at night. She won't even climb out in the morning most of the time, even though she is awake. She waits for us to come in and get her still. I'm sure it will be a little different when she actually has the bed and there is no restraint at all (she still has to climb a little to get out) but we'll see how things go. Maybe I'll get the bed done before our Anniversary.

Our Anniversary. Hard to believe it has already been almost 5 YEARS!!! Man how time flies. We don't realy have a whole lot planned since Rachel is pregnant and our "built in babysitters" are going to be out of town for a business meeting. We don't have anyone who can even watch Hannah for us. The only thing we had really planning on was ordering a small cake that was the same as our wedding cake since we each only got one bite of it 5 years ago. However, since we haven't done that yet I'm betting we won't be able to have it done before our Anniversary.

"Little Peanut" seems to be doing good. Nothing showed up in ultra-sounds that were cause for concern, and nothing in any of the other Doctor visits has been of concern either. Now, for the last major test before delivery....the pregnancy induced diabetes test thing (I forgot what it's called, sorry). We are supposed to do that 1 week before the next check up which is on May 18th (I think). I'll try to get a picture of Rachel's belly up since it has been almost 5 weeks since the last one.

I should probably head to bed now though, I really need to get sleep still as I'm trying to recover from this crappy sickness.

Hey I guess that I'm not alone with pulling long nights and busy days and feeling a little under the weather. I got a cold in my sinus's and just really tired but that is how it has been for the past few weeks. Can't wait to see you guys. I know that Hannah will do well with the new bed, maybe we can move a mattress down stairs instead of the crib and try it out in the computer room. See you soon.

I think you mean glucose test. Our family gives each other colds and stuff too, but the best way to keep it from moving from one to the other is to wash hands all the time, and don't share anything to drink or eat. You probably already know that, but that's just how we keep it from going around.
