2/28 Doctor Update

Yesterday I had my weekly doctor visit and my blood pressure had actually gone down some...Praise the Lord!!! I had a sonogram to see how big Kaylee is and she is 4 pounds 13oz. WOW. She will definentally be a good size baby. She also said she has a lot of hair. We are still uncertain when exactly I will be induced, it just depends on how my blood pressure does each week. It won't be long now though. I go back on Tuesday so I will update with any new information.

East Pointe Baby Shower

Saturday we had our second baby shower at East Pointe. Thanks mom, Aunt Lori, and girls for putting this together. We had a lot of friends and family come out to celebrate Kaylee and we really appreciate everyone's generosity. We are so blessed to have gotten everything we need for Kaylee and more....now we are just waiting for her. Thanks to everyone for all the advice and letters to Kaylee, I can't wait for her to get here so I can read them to her.

2/22 Doctor Update

This one is a few days late, but I just wanted to let everyone know about our doctors appointment on Friday. My blood pressure was up a little higher than the week before (it was around 152/89 this week). My doctor has decided that she is going to try to get me to 37 weeks, but will not let me go any longer than that. If my blood presure continues to rise then she will take the baby via c-section before then. I am scheduled for an ultrasound Thursday so the doctor can get the exact measurements of the baby and see how much fluid is left. She said this will help her determine her decision on exactly when she will induce me. Please continue to pray that we can hold out a few more weeks. I am 33 weeks now and it would really be great if we can keep her in until at least 35 weeks. My next appointment is Thursday, I will update then.

If You Can't Say Something Nice....

...Don't say anything at all!! I know we all learned this as children, but it seems as if some people need a little reminder (your know who you are)!!!

Family Baby Shower

This past Saturday we had our first baby shower. Thank you Nana for putting this together for us. Thanks to Aunt Shirley, Staci and Lacie for traveling up from Ocala to spend the day with us, it was really great to see you guys. We had such a great time. Kaylee got a lot of really cute things and I can't wait to use them. We are truly blessed to have such a great group of family and friends that are so excited to welcome little Kaylee in to the world. She will be here before we know it!!!

Me, mom, and Aunt Lori....They were dressed up as babies for the game we played!!!

Thanks Aunt Lindsey for the cute outfits and socks. I can't wait for Kaylee to wear them.

Weekly Doctor Update

This morning I had my 31 week Dr. appointment. I thought since I had been resting more and eating better that my blood pressure might have been down a little bit...no such luck...it actually went up a little bit. The doctor said that he still isn't too concerned but he wants me to get some bloodwork done and continue to closely monitor me for pre-eclampsia and toxemia. I am supposed to continue to be off my feet as much as possible and monitor my blood pressure daily. I will also continue seeing the doctor every week until I deliver. Pray that we can keep my blood pressure down for a few more weeks until Kaylee is ready to come out...Only 8 weeks left..woohoo!!

31 Weeks!!

I am 31 weeks today and thought I would post a picture so everyone can see how big Kaylee and I have gotten. HAHA. Only 9 weeks left woohoo!! I have another doctors appointment on Friday so I will let everyone know how that goes. Please pray that my blood pressure has gone down and everything looks good.

30 week Doctor Appointment

This morning I had my 30 week doctor appointment. My blood pressure has been a little high at each appointment but all they have said so far is that they will keep monitoring it. Today it was a little higher than it has been and since I have also been having some swelling in my legs and feet, he decided that he wants me to start coming every week instead of every two weeks so he can keep a close eye on it, although he said he isn't too concerned at this point. He said he will continue to allow me to work, since I have a desk job, but he wants me to come straight home and put my feet up for a few hours each night and take a 45 minute hot bath every night. I was a little disappointed since I have had no problems thus far, but I'm sure everything will be fine. On a positive note we only have 9 1/2 weeks left until Kaylee is here. We are so excited. I also have my first shower next weekend which I can't wait for. Thanks to Nana for throwing it for me. I will be sure to post pics of the event. Please pray that Kaylee and I will continue to be healthy in these last few weeks.

Miss Sandalwood

Congratulations to my cousin Katelyn for winning Miss Sandalwood. She did such a great job and looked amazing. We are so proud of her.
