...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......

The Prego Life....

The Latest!!

Sooo exciting....I saw my stomach move for the first time 2 days ago! And now thats all I wanna do is flip up my shirt so I can see my stomach and just watch for any little movement! I still find it sooo amazing that I have something living inside of me.

This past weekend my family and I went up to beaver mines to go camping! it was a blast....besides me having to get out of bed at least 2-3 times a night to go PEE! Grrr....I hate that part about being pregnant. Oh and dont forget the fire-blowing heartburn! Durning our camping trip I had a little scare though, I hadn't felt the baby move at all that day and it was really starting to scare me! So of course i'm all worked up all day trying not to make a big deal about it. So I decided to go into the camper and have a nap and hope that by laying down she'd move maybe once...Nope! So I did end up falling asleep for a couple hours and still after waking up I still couldn't feel anything. I ended up saying a little prayer because I didnt want to have to worry anymore. Sooo by bed time while I was laying down to go to sleep.....OF COURSE....shes starts moving like crazy. But I enjoyed every little movement because she gave me a good scare that day.

Boy or Girl....

Last Friday my mom, sister, dayne and I all headed up to Pincher Creek in hope to actually find out what I was having...Boy or a Girl. The deal was, was if I let my mom come she would pay for me to find out what I having...of course I said YES, I was sad that I may have had to wait until I had my baby to find out. This ultrasound experience was so cool, she explained exactly what we would be seeing with the ultrasound. So it was very informative and I could understand thing alot better. It was also nice because there was a couch and a tv that would show every what the tech was viewing inside of me, so it wasn't just one of those little screens where you would have to almost squint to see anything. My favorite part was when she stopped and took a picture of a certain part of the baby...and i knew exactly what i was looking at....3 lines which indicated a GIRL!!!! I was right....my instincts were right! So yes dayne and I and everyone in my family are thrilled to be adding a little girl into the family. And i can not wait to meet her!!!!!

Ultrasound....

Going to my ultrasound was probably one of the coolest things i've been able to do in a long time. Beside the whole having to 'chug' what seemed like a gallon of water, i have to say it was quite painful to have to hold my pee in. Besides that, being able to go with my bestfriend/the love of my life to see this little thing that was growing inside of me. The tech took about 20 mins just doing all the measurements and examining of the baby while dayne and i would looked at each other trying to guess what the heck was on the screen. But soon after she turned the screen completely to me so I could see the baby, it looked so snuggly! :) as soon as the tech had a full view of the baby I of course started to tear up a bit...i know i know...such a baby! I blame it on the hormones. But it was an exciting thing for the two of us to be able to see. Close to the end of the exam I asked the tech if she knew what the sex was....she said no, the babys legs were all curled up and was covering the area we needed to be able to see. Oh well im hoping that she did know and just didn't want to tell us until the next dr. appt. But I already am in love with this little thing inside of me.
