A Bit of A Scare...

     We had a bit of a scare during the Christmas Holiday.  I had a Dr. Apt on Friday the 23rd and my blood pressure was high.  My Dr thought I could have preclampsia, which causes the mom's vital organs to stop working as good.  If not treated (delivery of the baby), it could cause her organs to shut down.  It is a big deal, my Dr. was making me pretty nervous!!  She had me go to the hospital and get some tests run and to also monitor the baby for awhile.  Thankfully Wesley's heart rate was fine and he was moving around and kicking.  It was determined that I didn't have preclampsia but I did have pregnancy induced hypertension (high blood pressure).  She put me on bed rest until my next appointment today the 29th.  My blood pressure is still high but I do not have preclampsia.  My next appointment is on Tuesday and if my blood pressure is still high she is going to induce me on Thursday night.  I could still go in to labor naturally but if I haven't by next Thursday I will most likely be induced.  So another week on bed rest... not looking forward to that!!  Thankfully I can do some work from home, but I'm a planner and this was not in my plan!  I guess this is mother natures way of preparing me for a child...  things don't always go as planned!  We are nervous but mostly excited to meet this boy!!

     On a funner note, we got the last big thing for Wesley, a stroller and car seat!!  I actually found it on KSL, new and still in the box for about $30 cheaper than if I would have bought it from the store.  My parents picked it up for us in Salt Lake and brought it out to us in Tooele.  My Dad wouldn't take the money for it, so THANKS MOM & DAD!!  What would I do without them, they have been so awesome!! 



     Also, here are some pictures of Wesley's room mostly done and decorated...
