We are so well taken care of, that it is virtually unbelieveable! The ward flew into action. Before I even got a chance to figure out what I was going to do with the kids, the ward had meals and child care already planned. We will be better fed and watched over than ever.
The baby is not in any distress and everything seems fine. This is a preventative measure to make sure that I don't have a baby that is too early. If it seems like it's not working... then I have other options to consider (medication, etc) I figure that this will be a big fat pain for all those who help, and for me, however it is way better than having to leave a little one in the hospital.
NOw lets laugh at how much I remind myself of a walrus. My nose is constantly suffed (pregnancy symptom) so I snore like a fog horn. Dave says I snort too, but this I cannot believe because that's just gross. My belly feels like it is so huge that I have to flop from one side to another, much like a walrus. I waddle to the water, the bath tub, about once a day for the relief the water gives, like a walrus. The bigger I get the nicer people are to me like a walrus. The similarities are endless. Although I don't think Walrus's buy Thrifty brand Mint and Chip icecream by the truck load just in case the store runs out. I would take a picure of myself flopped like a walrus but I don't think that I would be able to get up...ever so just imagine me laying on the icy tundra moaning and snoring and you should get a good laugh. I know Dave does. He thinks this is hilarious, and reminds me that this was my idea daily. I blame Grant Jensen (bless his soul) whose whole funeral was about how wonderful posterity is and how families are the greatest blessing of our lives. I felt so inspired that I went home that day and told Dave it was time to finish the family off. He's probably laughing his head off in the Spirit World right now. Thanks Brother Jensen, I hope you and the baby are getting well aquainted.
Now on a sadder note I just wanted to let all those Corona natives know that Ryan Shumways dad passes away the funeral is tomorrow Tuesday at 11:00. I won't be attending but I will be thinking of all the times we were over there. The funeral is at the Corona Oak St chapel.

Walrus is a nice visual. I'll be spending the next several days tring to get it out of my brain!
I'm glad you feel taken care of. I'm still gonna give you a call. Love the walrus comparison. I do think you are much cuter than they are. But I bet they wish they were eating mint chip ice cream.
Sad about Ryans dad. I thought they had moved away.
You sure don't look like a walrus! You look cute and pregnant!
I will see you on Wednesday around 2:00pm Cassidy can't wait to have her playdate with Willow!
My prayers were answered. You are being taken care of. So you feel like a walrus. The little one will be worth it. I am sad to hear brother Shumway has passed away. I wish you were able to go to the services just to see Ryan and review old times. But you can't. mom
Love the Walrus analogy Meliss! Suddenly...I have no desire to ever be pregnant again! I'm glad everyone is taking care of you down there. Hope things go good with the rest of your pregnancy!
Sorry to hear that your laid up for the rest of the pregnancy. I am glad to hear that the ward is taking care of things. I hope these last weeks go fast for you and eat lots and lots of mint and chip cause it's the bomb!
i'm terryn's long-time friend who just wants to compliment you on how hilarious your descriptive walrus comparison was...however it sure didn't put me in a hurry to have kids :)
