Good News / Bad News

THE GOOD NEWS...
is that Kaitlyn's one year pictures are done!
I've been so excited to share these. I think Blair did a great job!
I hope you enjoy them!






































NOW FOR THE BAD NEWS...
I'm on bed rest. Out of the blue at a routine OB check-up yesterday I had high blood pressure and some swelling. I was sent up to the hospital for a non stress test and some blood work. I was sent home with a 24 hour urine test to look for protein, fun times! And I have an ultrasound on Monday. They are wanting to confirm preeclampsia.
The non stress test (NST) went great! The baby boy was very active and passed in the first 20 minutes. I will have a NST twice a week until I deliver. I'm not sure what next week will bring, I am crossing my fingers for delivery. Bed rest and a family with small munchkins doesn't work so well. We are taking it seriously. Blair is staying home so I can rest. It all feels very surreal. I feel 100% fine other than being exhausted. I think that is normal considering I am 38 weeks pregnant though. It is stressful to say the least. It is hard to sit still and watch life go on around me. I'm a SAHM and to watch my husband do my job is difficult. He is doing a great job, but much differently then how I do things. I know he has the hard job right now, so I stay quiet and let them do things his way.
Please pray things go smoothly the next days and weeks!
I'm ready to meet this little guy!
Well I'm off to the hospital to drop off my 24 hour urine test. Boy was that fun, so glad that is done with.....(smile)
Enjoy your weekend, I will from my couch!
Hope you enjoyed the pictures!
I was so excited to share!
