Contractions, Shrek and Land Navigation?

Jenna and I have been staying back and forth between home and my mom's house. Lindsey has been staying with us during the week. We are so ready for Matt to come home!!

Last week I started having some contractions and some pain in my kidneys. I went to the hospital for them to monitor us for a little while. I was having a few real contractions but nothing major. They also did a few tests. All came back negative but one. It showed that I had blood in my urine. I have kidney stones and they were moving around in my kidneys and causing some pain. They sent me home after a few hours and told me to stay off my feet. Ha! I have a 17 month old and my husband is out of town...good luck with that. I go back to the doctor on Thursday. I'm anxious to talk to her about it. And also we'll be getting another ultra sound to see if my placenta has moved up.


Jenna is at such a fun age! She is learning new stuff everyday. Her new favorite thing in this world is Shrek. All you have to do is mention his name and she'll go on forever about watching him and who all she's watched him with. We were wanting to get away from Dora some but uh..Shrek? Is that any better? Now we have Dora and Shrek! She has also started playing with her baby dolls ALL the time. She wants to feed them, give them lotion, give them juice, read to them, cover them with blankets, on and on and on...what she doesn't realize is that she is just practicing for the real thing. Here is Jenna watching Shrek and the Campbell's house. :)


Matt is doing so great at WLC. I get to talk to him twice a day..maybe. Last week he was able to e-mail a lot because they were in the classroom but this week not so much. They are doing lots of stuff in the field and are very busy. (I hope the time is going by faster for him than it is for me!) They have 4 tests to do while they are there. He was very nervous about some of them. He did great though! I knew he would. He had to teach a class and get graded on it..he made a 96! He had to lead PT one morning...he made a 95! He got graded on troop leading and made an 87. He was bummed about that until he found out that it was the second highest grade in the class! He also had to do Land Navigation and got all 3 of his points! He was most excited about that one. He says it's one of his weak points. As you can see, he's doing GREAT! Having said all that..He's ready to come home. He's so tired and burnt out. He has been going non-stop for weeks! He comes home on Saturday night and we can't wait!! He also starts his new job on Monday. He was able to send me this pic and I thought I would share it. I really like it.
That's all for now!
