High Blood Pressure.... Fluke

Yesterday I went in for a normal check up and my blood pressure was high, this was a first, my blood pressure (BP) is normally pretty low. My doctor took my BP twice then sent me over to the hospital to get everything all checked out. They hooked me up to monitor the baby and make sure everything was good with him. Then it went to get an ultrasound. I got to see this little guy and find out why my ribs are so sore... He is head down with his feet right by my ribs so every time he kicks he kicks my ribs! They hurt to the point that rolling over in the middle of the night is hard to do. Everything checked out and do far everything is good. My BP has gone down and I am praying it doesn't go back up. My Dr thinks it was a fluke or they are catching something (whatever that thing that might be) before it has started. My Dr also sent me home with this 

I get to pee in this for 24 hours then take it back to my dr tomorrow morning. Hopefully my pee checks out or I might be delivering this little guy the first part of June! 

34 weeks and Counting!

Yesterday was the 34 weeks mark, I only have 5 more to go! Yep that is right I said 5. No I am not counting wrong, I get to be enduced at 39 weeks. Justin and I are moving June 28 four hours north of us for his third year if medical school, so I asked my dr if it was possible to be enduced a week early so that way we have time to adjust with having a little one before we pack up and move. I have heard many peoples opinion about enduction and have read up on things and feel this is the way for me to go. I have no desire to be husband less right after I have this little guy. I am getting nervous just thinking about taking care of this child! I still can't believe that I am actually pregnant, don't worry I defiantly feel and look pregnant, but the fact I am going to be a mom and have someone depends on me. I know I will be ok, but it is still nerve racking! 5 weeks or less!!!!!!! 

The Heat and Humidity!!!

Well I will be 32 weeks tomorrow and fit the past week it feels like summer has hit South Florida!!! It's been close to or in the 90's here and my feet hate it! They have been swelling just about every day for the past week! I don't do much on my feet at work and try to keep them up most of the day, but it doesn't help. People tell me to drink more water but I average about 100 oz a day, which of course makes me have to use the bathroom every hour. The only thing that works is keeping then elevated which is boring! 

This is a picture of my feet at work today, they are huge and sometimes make me want to cry because of how big they are! 

Diaper Bag Issues

I don't know why but finding a diaper bag was the hardest thing I had to do for this baby! I am not a fan of the huge purses, never have been, I guess I don't have that much crap to lug around with me. I also am not a fancy purse girl either, the simpler the better. All the diaper bags that I have looked at are huge! This is the first baby for me and I don't think I am going to need to pack his whole room with me, so after returning 2 bags and a week or 2 of research I found the perfect bag! It's not considered a "diaper" bag. My only requirements was it had to be big enough to fit a changing pad, diapers and wipes and a spare change if clothes, oh and a water bottle spot for me, I drink a ton of water and take my water bottle wherever I go. So I found the Keen Taylor 13 in. messenger bag

It has many pockets 2 water bottle holders and is not insanely huge. The best part about looking at this bag online is they had a video of it to show you the size against a real person. I ameIting for it to arrive and hope I am in love with it as I was online! Wish me luck!

Maternity Photos

I was not planning on getting maternity photos done at all.  I am not a huge fan of being fat and pregnant, but my friend who is a photographer wanted to do them for me so I decided to just go for it. I am glad I did because she did a wonderful job!  These are just a few of my favorites.  Suzana Garrett  http://imagesbysuzy.blogspot.com

The Preggo Party

Some of my besties are pregnant along with me. We are all due in June minus 1 who is due beginning of August.  We all lived together in the same apartment at one point or another and got married around the same time. So it makes since to be having babies at round the same time😊 2 of them are on baby number 3 as for the rest of us this will be our first. It has been fun talking babies with them. We have come a long way from "do you think that boy likes me" or "I kissed him last night" or the best when there were break ups and we had slumbies and to help mend a broken heart. I love these girls and so happy we stay close.  If only I was I in Utah with them to share all the moments!

She Strikes and Fails

Gypsy, my first child who is a cat, is a great hunter. I actually think Justin started linking her more after she started bringing home dead rats. This one she didn't actually kill before she brought it up to the patio. She climbs up a tree to get to our patio with the rat in her mouth. I heard her playing with it early this morning and when I actually got up to see what she was playing with I see her staring up at our lights. I look up and see a blob, no contacts in, sitting on our string of lights. I yell forJustin and ask him if that is a rat, and yes it is! Now we will have to see if it comes down and she kills it
