Tuesday's Appointment

Well we bought ourselves another week! At the NST my bp was elevated but pretty much where it's been. Afterwards, we went to the doctor and I saw Dr. Murphy, she said another week was ok. I go back next Tuesday and have to see Dr. Short b/c I guess I am a little 'higher risk' b/c of the blood pressure so Dr. Short sees me and at that time will discuss inducing. We are more than ready to meet her so I would be ok with that! If they tell me I can go another week I will be a little sad b/c I'm pretty much miserable at this point. I sleep about 3 hours a night, my bladder is killing me, ribs, back, hips, etc. Not to mention the bedrest is SO SO boring (I know, appreciate it while you can) but I can only take so many CSI reruns :) Haha sorry to complain. We'll see what happens next Tuesday!!

Doctor Appointment

Well yesterday's appointment wasn't so great. My blood pressure was way up again so Dr. Strickland sent me to Porter for more labs and a non-stress test. I have to go back to Porter on Saturday for the same, then back on Tuesday before my scheduled appointment at the doctor's office. If it is high when I go back on Tuesday (I will be between 37 and 38 weeks) then Dr. Short told me last night they would probably talk inducing me. The nerves are kicking in a little! Everyone has said being induced is hard and painful but hopefully I can get an epidural and be ok :) So who knows...she may be coming next week!?!

Better Start Updating!

I have family that lives far away and in no time the baby will be here and I have had some requests to update the blog! So here it is :) I am currently on bedrest, a week ago today I went to the doctor after work and my bp was high and I had some swelling so she sent me to Porter for some testing. I went back on Wednesday and it was better but still high so she put me on bedrest. I go back tomorrow for my 37 week check up :) I'm feeling pretty good, just have a backache and occasional pain to the left of my belly button, not sure what that is but we are hoping not a hernia. That's about it, just a waiting game now. Hopefully tomorrow's appointment goes good. Alan is doing great, he is very excited for her to be here but a little anxious about the birth, he hates hospitals and everything that goes along with them but he'll be ok. I think these non-stress tests have helped him, he knows what we are heading into now :)

Guess who's having a....

baby!! :-) This past Tuesday I am supposedly 11 weeks along. I say that b/c I am not 100% sure of the last day of my last cycle so it's sort of a guess-timate. But, I think it's pretty accurate. I have my first exam tomorrow and then have to wait for the first big ultrasound...not for like 8 more weeks! Hope it goes fast! We are definitely going to find out what it is, I want to be ready and I also don't want all yellow and green clothes lol! And Alan could never be patient enough to hold out ;)

xoxoxoxo!

so long!

It's been a while....I'm new to facebook so that is more of what I've been doing, shame on me ;)
Me and Alan are doing great, going to start looking at houses soon so that is exciting. Then we can talk more baby talk!?! That'll make an interesting blog right! I'm still job hunting but remaining positive, something will come up soon. Other than that nothing much to post!! I hope everyone is doing well!!!!!

Who says...

You can't go home? ;-) A week from tomorrow me and my hottie hubs will be moving back home! He accepted a job there that is better pay and benefits and he couldn't pass it up. We love it here in BG and will miss it very much, but being closer to family and friends and when the time comes for us to try, having a baby (ahhh!) closer to them will be great.
We've been moving all around for a long time and I wouldn't change it for anything. We met amazing people, did amazing things, and now we're ending up back where we should :) It didn't take me long to learn that anywhere we are together, is home. 9 years and still get the butterflies in the belly. Thank you, Lord.

I'm a MRS! - PIC HEAVY!!!

Wow, I can't believe it's been so long since I posted! Time flies! So...three weeks ago this Saturday we officially tied the knot! I.AM.SO.BLESSED. I have an incredible husband! The weather was amazing, our friends and family are MIRACLES, and the day was great! The Honeymoon was just as fantastic, as soon as I upload pics I'll get them on here. We had a very casual day with a baseball themed reception that started at 2:00...and people were still there at 10:00! I really hope everyone had a great time. I would've posted sooner, but the computer has been in the shop for awhile now, just got it back today. Here are some pics, enjoy :)
