...not a good day

So today was a regular check up at the doctors today! I was excited to hear how well everything is going because I thought I had the perfect pregnancy.


My thoughts were wrong. Usually my check-ups consisted of peeing in a cup and then right after they would check my blood pressure. They did do that but found things in both my urine and blood pressure they didn't like. Found out my blood pressure was really high and that they found protein in my urine. My doctor then explained to me that I'm at risk of preeclampsia and the possibility of preterm labor.


So now I'm on blood pressure medication and I have to go in everyday just to see how my blood pressure is and if the medication is working and also I'm now doing every week visits to the doctor and have to get blood taken every time and bed ridden.


I guess the main reason I'm torn and upset is that i had this plan that i would basically work till my due date, because Dayne will have started school Oct 18th and who knows when EI will ever come in. And the fact that we have to get rid of my dog jax. It sounds silly but right now I have 2 dogs at my house. 1 is my own and the other we're babysitting for my in laws. My dog is very energetic and always wants to be outside and run around. The other....is older, but hates my dog and is very picky. I just have no more patience to give right now. I can't even go on a walk. Its quite depressing actually.


So ya, today has been a major down for me. And I feel terrible that I have to get rid of my dog and know that my husband is losing a friend. Dayne has been nothing but a support on my end and i guess that's why I'm having such a hard time with letting my dog go! Because Dayne didn't even hesitate to say no or say we can figure some alternative out so we can keep the dog.


Anyways...sorry to put a damper on everyones day I just had to let it out.

Oh....How Time Flys...

I've been so blessed with such a wonderful family...I know in the past i've taken my family for granted, but in the past few years lots of things have happened.

My sister and I have become very close in the past few year and I know one of the reason is becuase of that beautiful baby boy that she is holding. Nash came into this world almost a year ago!(His birthday is coming up) And I remember seeing him for the first time and just falling in love with him. I've got a greater appreciation for my sister and how she can be the mom she is under the circumstances of doing it all on her own. Karah is such a loving person and only deserves the best. I love my sister and my nephew with all my heart.

New Term....."Nesting"

So the past two days, Dayne and I have been going to pre-natal classes!
I must say I am sooooo happy that we went! We still have 4 more sessions, and i've already learn so much. I honestly find it so amazing how labor works and how the baby knows when and how to turn so that it can make down the birthing canal correctly. Dayne's been very supportive. I'm sure every mom knows the term "nesting"....thats something I learn yesterday! Basically i've been nesting for about the last 2 months....i've cleaned my house I don't know how many times, and i've been down laundry like crazy! I guess nesting is something you do to pass the time before baby comes! Anyways...pregnancy is going great! Hard to believe that i only have about 8 more weeks! eeeekkk......
