The baby woke me up at 4:20am. I felt really good and was surprised I was not sick to my stomach. I took care of the baby but didn’t drink my Monster Milk because doctor’s orders. When I returned him to his bed I went to take a shower because Scott was coming to get me for my 6am doctors appointment. I took a shower and got dressed. I came out of the bathroom and was ready to go. It was 5:45am. Matthew was sitting on the bed with Hunter behind him. She had her hands on his shoulders and was jumping wildly up and down. Scott knocked on the door and I answered. Scott said, ready to go. I said, yes. I turned to Matthew and said, got to go. Hunter was jumping up and down wildly and messing up his hair with her hand. Matthew said, Mommie your not going to leave me with her are you? He was grinning from ear to ear. I thought Scott was going to laugh. Scott had my wheel chair and said, have a seat. I sat down and Scott shut the door. At the doctors the nurse weighed me, took my blood-pressure, gave me a cup to pee in. After I came out of the bathroom from peeing in the cup she put us in a room with a table. She said, sit on the table I will be right back. She came back. Took my temperature and then took blood. She handed me a Muscle Milk and said, drink this and the doctor will be right in. The doctor came in and asked how I had been doing and if I was following all the rules? I told her yes, with out question. She had me lay down and she measured my stomach. She said, I will have you come in for a couple more Mondays and then if everything is going well I will spread it out to maybe monthly. I want you to keep up the protein drinks and slowly work back in to everything. Maybe today if you go swimming maybe, 1/2 hour. And maybe if you go to the gym Scott can tell you how long you can work out. Some women even run marathons when their pregnant. So as long as you keep the Christmas lights off you will be able to do a lot. Scott gave me this confused look. He still didn’t know what Christmas lights were. I asked if I had to stay in the chair and she said, no. I just want you to take it slow. The chair is there so you don’t wear yourself out. Also, I wouldn’t carry the kids around for a couple more days. You can go now and I will see you next Monday. I said thankyou. Scott took me back to my room in the wheel chair. Cindy and Amy had collected the kids and Matthew was getting ready for breakfast and packing for his trip. I went down to Mom’s room where Cindy and Amy had already got the kids dressed and ready for breakfast. Hunter was playing with her toys and the baby was happy in his crib. I sat in the chair and just watched Hunter play with her toys.
Out at the pool Jack and Daniela were not there so Megan brought her boys. Matthew came out just in time for food. He was wearing sneakers, blue jeans, a summer shirt and a baseball cap. The bag he was carrying was not very big which made me feel good about the two weeks. We had a really nice breakfast. Scott pulled Matthew aside behind a tree and asked him what’s Christmas lights. Matthew said, she has the ability to get into places with out being seen but it takes a large tole on her body. He said, that is why she was kidnapped because they wanted to study her and find out how she does it. Scott said, how will I know if she is doing it? Matthew said, weird things happen. Did you find a man behind a bush that had been knocked out? Scott looked strange at Matthew and said, A passed out guy in handcuffs came flying from behind a bush. That was her? Matthew wanted to laugh. Matthew said, ya that was her. So if really strange things happen most likely she has been jumping. Scott said, Jumping. Matthew said, ya jumping is what it is called. Scott said, Oh. I don’t want you to worry I will take care of your family. Matthew hugged him and said, thankyou man. I feel much better about going. Matthew came out from behind the tree and took my hand. He led me behind the tree. With my back against the tree. Matthew gave me a kiss and said, I wanted have a talk with you. I need you to promise that no matter what you here, what you smell or what anyone says to you, you will not jump. I said, even if you call me. He said, I hadn’t thought of that but no even if I call you. I might do it now just to test you. I can’t have you jumping and risking the baby’s life and your life. I have everything I have ever wanted in my life please don’t take it away from me. I said, I promise no matter what happens I will not jump. He said, I want you to also promise you will do everything the doctor and Scott tell you? I want you take really good care of yourself. I said, I don’t want you to worry I will do everything I am suppose to and take really good care of myself and the baby. He said, Ok then I am going to take you at your word and will not worry about you. We are suppose to be at the temple for two weeks but they say it is a long hard journey to get there. So I am thinking this might be three weeks or a little longer depending on the weather. He kissed me as Jean yelled, Matthew we have to go. Matthew looked around the tree and said, I got to go. He went around the tree grabbed his bag and he was walking away with Jean. I wanted to cry so bad but was waving and smiling incase he turned around. I said to myself don’t be such a baby he will be back before you know it. I went and sat at the table wiping the tears that were escaping. I saw Scott at another table watching me. Mom said, don’t worry he has gone on 100’s of trips and this one is not a mission. I looked at her and said, ya, this is a school and not a mission. Serena saw me moping and came and sat next to me. I thought this would get easier but it seems to be harder. I put my arm across her shoulders and said, I know but Mom was just reminding me this is a school and not a mission so everything should be fine. She smiled at me. Scott let me go swimming with Hunter for 1/2 an hour. When we went to go to our rooms the kids and I went to Mom’s room. I was laying on my pillow and thinking last time this was hard but once I got my head on straight I was fine. So I need to just take care of me and take care of the kids and he will be back before I know it. I shut my eyes and went to sleep.
