Sleepover and Temple Trip

Tonight will be Aubrey's first night away from me!  She is getting so big and so smart lately.  I can't believe how many words she says now and repeats everything we say.  Adam and I had made plans to go to the temple so Terri and Phillip offered for the kids to spend the night and go to Tannehill in the morning.  They all had a blast and were worn out when they came home.  Aubrey was the best sleeper at night and slept in till 7:00.  Unfortunately, I was up at 6:30 having to pee and couldn't go back to bed.  So, I started to paint, and paint some more, and paint some more.  I would have finished, but I ran out of paint for the dining room.  I'm painting all the hallways and dining room a beige color called "Gobi Desert" from Home Depot.  After the kids came home and took a nap, we just relaxed by playing in the yard, going swimming, andgetting ready for church.  A great, productive weekend!

P.S.-So at the temple, I just got this feeling come over me.  I wasn't sure what it was, but I just started to tear up.  The night before I had a dream about our next ultrasound and the news was that the cysts were not isolated and we would have problems.  I think I have prepared myself for news that our child has down syndrome, but I have not prepared myself for the reality of living it.  On the other hand, I am not prepared if they tell me it is the more worse condition.  It just seems like such an unknown and debilitating condition that I would need time to figure it out.  Adam still assures me that the baby is fine and nothing is wrong.  I hope and pray he is right and to have enough strength and love and patience if he is wrong.
