Headed to Texas
30/11/05 22:15 Filed in: Steven Says
As most of you have heard, my grandmother died of
cancer a couple of days ago. I waited on posting,
until I knew Jason had received his red cross message
in Iraq. I didnt want him to find out through a
webpage. So tomorrow I fly home to Texas to attend
the funeral, and see my grandfather, parents,
brother, and the rest of the family.

My Water Broke...

That got your attention didn't it, hehe. Actually it
didn't. I went to sleep with an almost full open 16
oz. bottle of water in my hands (not on purpose) and
I woke up really wet and cold. So I sat straight up
and said "My water broke" to my husband. I thought it
was pretty funny, he didn't though.
Lots of other things going on around this house. Mostly trying to get ready for holidays and baby. Steven should write in the next couple days. Just thought I'd give a funny.

Is there anyone that fails?
Is there anyone that falls?
Am I the only one in church today feelin' so small?
Cause when I take a look around..
Everybody seems so strong.
I know they'll soon discover
That I don't belong Read More...

My First Post

Well since Steven's been writing quite a bit about me
I thought I'd put in my two cents as well. Let's see,
I got back on Saturday, November 19th from
Washington. It was quite an eventful trip (a little
too eventful as you can see from earlier posts). I
had quite a bit of fun though. I saw several people I
had not seen in a while, spent time with family,
learned Josh outgrew me (sniff, sniff), met my nephew
for the first time, went to some fun restaurants, and
had a baby shower. BTW I wanted to thank everyone who
came to my baby shower and my mom and Lynda for
throwing it. It was pretty fun and the gifts were
much needed. Read

Märia is coming home!
18/11/05 22:34 Filed in: Steven Says
Yeah! Somehow Märia fooled the doctors at Madigan
into letting her come home! So I will be picking her
up at the airport tomorrow, late at night. Say yeah!
Here is a quick military joke... Read

Going home again...
18/11/05 10:10 Filed in: Steven Says
They are sending Märia home again with more meds to
stop the contractions and delay labor. So I guess I
won't be getting on a plane today. Yeah, thats the
news. Read

Märia is back at the hospital...
18/11/05 07:24 Filed in: Steven Says
Yeah, I just got off the phone again. She is having
contractions again, and this time she can feel them.
Last time she couldn't feel them at all; she only
knew she was having them because a computer told her
so. =) So she is on the way back to the hospital,
where she will probably stay until Seporah is born.
More news in the next few hours. I will post if I fly
home (and give Lynda a call=). Read

Seporah's in a Hurry =)
17/11/05 14:30 Filed in: Steven Says
Märia is safe at her parent's house, technically on
bedrest. She says that she is having contractions
again, slowly, and there is no way that Seporah is
waiting 6 whole weeks for birth. =) I guess she is
just in a hurry.

Märia is home now
16/11/05 19:20 Filed in: Steven Says
Well, they let Märia go home after her mom promised
to keep her in bed. She is technically on bedrest,
and still not allowed to fly, so it will be a bit
before we see each other again. She has another
appointment on Friday. That is it for news.

2 more days in the hospital, minimum
15/11/05 23:35 Filed in: Steven Says
Well, it looks like Märia's contractions have stopped
completely. They have stopped the anticontraction
medication, and the contractions are not coming back.
They want to hold her for at least 2 more days, and
possibly up to 5 more days, just to make sure
everything is fine. I don't quite understand why they
are holding her.

Labor has stopped...
14/11/05 20:51 Filed in: Steven Says
Well, it seems the medicine they have been giving her
has stopped the labor. They will cease on the
medicine tomorrow morning, and possibly hold her
another day to make sure the labor doesn't come back.
It seems that she isn't having gestational diabetes
afterall. Apparently the steroids they gave her just
before they took the tests threw them off. So the
cause of the preterm labor is really up in the air,
possibly just germies. Will update when we get more
news.
As of now, we will not be moving to Hawaii after all, at least not until after the baby is born. So I will be putting a crib together over the next few days. =) Read More...

Quick Märia Update
13/11/05 23:30 Filed in: Steven Says
---Quote---
To Whom It May Concern:
Mrs Märia D Rushing was admitted to Labor and Delivery unit at Madigan Army Medical Center due to preterm contractions and concern for preterm labor. She is currently undergoing treatment to stop labor. She is currently 33+1/7 weeks gestation. She was scheduled to fly to Georgia on 16 Nov 05; however, this is not medically recommended.

Well, it's Gestational Diabetes
13/11/05 17:39 Filed in: Steven Says
Apparently Märia has had it the whole time, but she
eats so well that no one picked up on it. She says
that she didn't eat too many sweets yesterday at her
baby shower, but I am guessing that is what
aggravated everything. Read

May be having a baby...
13/11/05 14:57 Filed in: Steven Says
... but probably not. If you havn't heard, Märia is
in the hospital with pre-term labor. She was having
contractions and everything when she woke up this
morning. They are trying to stop the contractions.
Maybe she will be able to come home, maybe not. They
are saying they don't want her flying anymore, so she
may have the baby in washington state. I will keep
you posted. Read

Quick Update

Thoughts
Well, It's Monday night at 7:50, here in Iraq. And I
figured I'd drop you guys a little update on my life.
Today I woke up at about 7:30 and quickly dressed for
work. I loaded up on my bike and then rode the mile
and a half up to my van where I fix radios. I forgot
to wake up Jason and Dan though . So they weren't
happy with me, but luckily they got their rears in
gear in about 10 minutes time, dressed and then rode
the 2 minute ride to work. So we all made it (almost)
on time. Read
