Change...

Earlier this week, I wasn't feeling very well. I had my sister bring over a blood pressure monitor since at my last doctors visit I was told my blood pressure was a little high. I checked my blood pressure and it was 160/105. I called the doctors office and since they were closing in 5 minutes, the nurse told me to go up to labor and delivery to be monitored. Two and a half hours later, after having my blood drawn and being given some Tylenol, they sent me home and told me to do a 24 hour urine sample so they could test for proteins. I still haven't heard back about the results but I'm assuming it's fine.

I am so anxious for the arrival of our little angel. I'm nervous because I know everything is going to be drastically changing in a few days. Every time I get upset and think this baby will never come out, I stop myself and think.."Enjoy these last few days, relax and take it all in." Only a few more days of lounging around with my husband, sleeping in, making split second decisions and being able to be somewhat selfish. It scares the heck out of me, thinking that my whole life is going to do a 180 in a matter of a week! Justin is so supportive and calms me down and reassures me that everything is going to be okay. He's so great. I always get myself in such a panic and he's always there to get me grounded again. I honestly don't know what I'd do without him. He's SO excited to be a dad!

Despite all the nerves and panic, worry and anxiety, I can not wait to meet my little girl. I can't wait to add another person to our family and I wouldn't change a thing. I know the second I see her it will all be worth it!

Long night...

Last night was a long night. I'm sure I only got about 2 hours of sleep. I woke up every single hour. Either I was too hot, my arm or leg was asleep, my back or knees were aching or Bailey was kicking me. I'm sure I jinxed myself because a few weeks ago I was saying "I don't know why all these pregnant women say they have such a hard time sleeping, I pass out in 5 minutes and sleep like a log!"
I haven't been feeling well since last Wednesday at my doctors appointment. They said my blood pressure was high and to lay on my left side and that should help with circulation. Maybe my blood pressure will be high at my appointment tomorrow so they'll induce me! A girl can only hope right?? ;)

Trying this out...

This is my first time using a blog. Hopefully it will help pass the time.

My husband and I have been together for 3 1/2 years and just got married last February in Las Vegas. It was soo much fun and I wouldn't change a thing. I wish we could go back soon on vacation since we didn't really get a honeymoon.

I am 9 months pregnant and my husband and I are expecting our first child any day now. Our daughter is due on my husband, Justin's, birthday (November 21st). I have been on bed rest for a month now. This has been the longest month of my life and I really hope that this next 2 weeks goes by fast! I have been to the hospital twice with contractions which is why I am on bed rest now. The first few days of bed rest were great and then it really sank in that I'm stuck in the house, with no one to talk to all day until my husband gets home from work or I get a visitor.

We have a puppy named Harley. He is a 5 month old chocolate lab. He is more than a handful and keeps me sooo busy. It helps the days go by faster until Justin gets home.

I am so ready to meet my daughter! I'm very anxious but so excited! So until I have my hands full with a puppy and a baby I will keep posting. :)
