its getting close...

so everything is going okay with my pregnancy. i had a sorta scary day last friday, i went to the dr and my blood pressure remained high, i also have been measuring pretty small for how far along i am. so the dr. put me on bed rest for the weekend and had me do a urine protein test. (it was a huge like 1 1/2 gallon bucket, matt said it would not be big enough. he was going to get me a 50 gallon drum) on monday we went back and they did a non-stress test and an ultrasound. she looked so good. i was worried she was small, but she measured about 5 lbs. so that was very reassuring. my blood pressure is still high, so i have to stay down as much as i can, but kyle has been awesome, and made it easier for me. matt also has been cooking and cleaning. he is awesome and very cute. well, i have a funny little story. debbie told me to let kyle know that if he was really good and helpful until the baby came, they would buy him a basketball goal. he looks at me, like he was thinking about it and says " and a basketball?". i laughed so hard, it was like the basketball was the deal-breaker. well, i have to go. i will let everyone know if fancy comes.

Marathon Post




i should start off by apologizing for this long post, but i thought i would just get it all done in one shot. it has finally started to get nice here, so we have been outside playing so much. it is so nice to be able get out and play. it does make for a pretty dirty little boy though. for instance, tonight it was a combination of dirt and pudding. he has been so busy, it makes me tired. on saturday kyle and i went up to Rexburg for a little airshow that they have. it was so much fun. we brought a little picnic and just watched the planes. he loved that the trick planes had smoke, and they do tricks that look like they are going to crash. i think kyle was hoping that that the firetruck would be into action, but i explained that when planes crash it is not good. it was fun though. i have had several requests for new pictures of Roxy. she is getting so big, and very cute. she is doing much better with learning to behave like Dodger.(that is our goal) the last picture is of my 35 or so week belly. i can't believe how close it is getting to having her here. i had a dr. appt. last week and my blood pressure was high, this happened with kyle, but i was hoping it wouldn't happen with her. i am feeling good, just uncomfortable. i guess htat is to be expected at this point though. i also thought i would tell everyone about matt too. he is doing great. he had a good fire last week, so i got to see him on the news. it is always fun to see him. it makes me so proud, and reminds me how hard his job is.( it is not just ping pong and water fights) i also finally finished making the baby's bedding and covering her chair so i will take pictures as soon as i get the room set up. so all in all, we are good, and finally feeling summer.
