Count Down....

So my due date is Nov 13th, 2010....
I can't believe that its getting so close, I do have a feeling though that I'm going to be induced a little early. My BP keeps on going up and down and the doctor doesn't like that. So I've been doing alot of running around, going to appointments to the clinic and also to the hospital to get NST's (Non-Stress Tests) done for the baby. Its been going good. Baby is not at all stressed, she likes to move around lots.
And today I get yet another ultrasound...Dr. said that this ultrasound will determine whats going to happen in the next couple weeks...eeeek!
Any whooo....part of the reason I blogged today was because I wanted to here as much helpful ideas that i could use while I'm in labor. I plan on doing all natural, plus I'm having the baby in Taber so they don't have all the good meds like lethbridge has.
So, please if you have any helpful ideas that i could use that helped you ladies out during labor then I'm all ears. :)

Rest In Peace Jax

If you've read my last post you would have read that Dayne and I had to give up of your dog. When I found out I had Preeclampsia I knew part of the stress was Jax, as much as I loved him, it was hard to keep him happy. Most days he had to be on a leash because we lived in town and Jax would just run off if he wasn't chained up. Jaxy loved to run and play and I felt I couldn't give him that! Especially now that the doctor told me I needed to be on bed rest. So dayne and I decided to give him a new home to a family that lived on a big farm and had another dog to play with. We would here from the family how much fun he was having and that Jax and Snookie (the other dog) would snuggle together at night. They were best friends. Sadly, I got a phone call on Monday saying that Jax was hit by a potato truck and passed away. Jax was running along Beckie (the new owners) vehicle, so she stop to go pick him up and take him back to the house. But it was to late, the potato truck didn't care to slow down and hit jax, and almost hit Beckie as well! My heart goes out to that family, I know they loved jax, as if he was their own. And for this incident to happen in such a short time I can't even imagine what they went through. Especially Beckie because she saw it happen. I know things happen for a reason, but i couldn't for the life of my think of why this could have happened. Luckily I have a mom that told me something that put me at ease. This could have happened for the simple reason as the driver needed a wake up call and jax was it. She said jax could have been a life saver. Who knows that if this never happened, it could have been either Beckie or one of her kids that got hurt. So thank you mom for telling me that. I'm glad jax went sudden and didn't suffer! Beckie said, jax just looked like he was sleeping. Makes me feel alot better knowing that. Jaxy will always be remember and never forgotten! Loved ya Buddy!
