Pregnancy Update......Finally!!

Does anyone even read these updates? If not, can I stop writing them? I will take no comments as a sign that I can stop.

The doctor ran some blood tests last week. I was having night sweats coupled with my migraines, he was afraid that I might have pre-eclampsia. If the results came back positive, I would have to go to the hospital and get steroid shots and be induced. Luck for us, the test came back negative which meant that out sudden trip to mom and dads was still on for last weekend.

I fell off of the exercises wagon last week, I can't really tell you what happened but I just didn't do it(I am lame, I know). I did start up again last night, just cause I am determined to come out on top. Plus it helps me to feel good.

I mentioned that we went to Mom and Dads last weekend. The main reason that we went, was so that I could get all of the baby stuff together for Mom and Dad to bring up this weekend. It also gave Jon and Dad a chance to build a big boy bed for Brett, so that he can get accustomed to the bed before sissy needs the crib. I got to sew all weekend, for anyone who knows me knows that I don't sew at all. I was going to get a picture as proof but you will just have to take my word for it. On the list of things to sew was: 10 receiving blankets, a bath towel for Brett, nursing cover and some nursing pillow covers. Of all of that I only got the blankets done, which means that I will be sewing all of this weekend, and quite possibly(hopefully not) the whole week that Mom stays with me. With all of the sewing that I did, I lost my ankles(well they're swollen).

I am having TONS of braxton hicks contractions, which is no big deal. It only makes me more excited that we are getting closer. I am working like a mad women to get prepared, I feel like I don't have any time to do anything else.

36 Days to go!!

even your long lost cousin reads your updates. i feel the same way though. I am prego with twins and so everyone tells me...keep us updated. So i do the blog thing and no comments. They say they still love it though. Especially when you are not feeling well, it is good to know that you and the baby is ok.
