The start of summer

 The month of May was filled with weekly hospital visits for me for pre-term labor/UTI/dehydration. I was also started on medication called Terbutiline to stop my contractions. I have been taking this medication every 6 hours for contractions for about 3 weeks until my last visit on June 1st. I also had a UTI which was terrible pelvic pain that made the contractions even worse, but thank goodness for antibiotics. At my appointment in the last week in May, I was told by my Dr. that I need to stop working to prevent complications and to continue bed rest. This has been very difficult for me both financially and mentally as I have had to take Aubrie out of daycare to save money as well as practically do nothing at home (which has been tourture because I just think of all the projects and organizing that I could be doing) and paying over $1000/month for insurance. It also is difficult because I am having to start my maternity leave early without a baby, which means I will have to return to work sooner. As of my last doctor's appointment on the 1st, I am still planning on my C-section date of June 18th unless any complications or bleeding occur.

Due to my high pregnancy risk, we were unable to go to Hatch for Memorial weekend because of how far away from a hospital is was. My parents were kind enough to change our trip from Hatch to Park City for a few days. We stayed in the Marriott and spent each day fishing at a different lake in the rain.
 Lots of babies to feed at Daybreak Lake.
 Last day of Swimmy lessons! Aubs has learned to jump off the side of the pool, kick, float on her back, and walk along the wall as well as going under the water.
 Since I am now home all day and can't do a lot, Aubrie has spent lots of time playing outside and in the sprinklers. I had to laugh as she was playing in the water and she yelled, "best day everrrr".



 On June 3rd, we were coming home from me getting IV fluids and pulled into the garage and heard a crack. We lost 1/3rd of our big tree in the front yard from a huge wind storm. Luckily nobody was around when it happened.
 Having fun with Aunt Shannon(who was Bluffdale city's first attendant) and Stevie during Bluffdale Rodeo.
 We made a visit to the Payson Temple for the open house. Even through I was technically supposed to be on bed rest, I was able to make it through the temple. Jeff had a big part in helping to build all the woodwork for the temple, he specifically did the baptism font, brides room, and sealing rooms.
