It was actually kind of nice that my mom is dieting and watching her weight for the holidays because she is a super good cook and likes to make fudge, cookies, hard tack, and cashew brittle and lots of other goodies. She did not make all of that this year which is good because I have really been trying to watch what I have been eating too.
When I was out today to take the boys to piano lesson I passed the local vets office and the sign read : Confirmed coyote with rabies shot in local area.
When my 13 yo was out hunting with the neighbors two of my other neighbors said they both shot a coyote with rabies (and that was on their own property right next door to me.)
I went to see my OB for my weekly visit and I am now on three times a week visits. I will be 30 weeks along on Friday. I have to go on Tuesdays for a fetal stress test. Wednesday's for blood pressure and blood sugar tests/reports. Then on Friday's for an ultrasound. My blood pressure has been up and yesterday it went up more. I was really hoping to make it a lot further before I had to worry because I did so well with DD and she was only one week early. I had preeclampsia with my 6 yo pretty bad and he was born at 36 weeks and he was just fine...so I am really hoping to make it to 36 weeks this time.
Prayers that I can make it to 36 weeks would be greatly appreciated!
OK PP
this is where you start to take it easy.
start to put those feet up every chance you get and relax. there is plenty of time for junk chores in this life LATER...baby comes first of course and everyone's health.
you slow down, you hear me!
And of course you are in my prayers hoping for everything to work out perfect, which it will! But you put all effort to making sure you take care of yourself to get that great result!!!!!!!!
I have already cancelled all piano lessons, band practices and such until after the baby is born. The boys have Tae Kwon Do tomorrow and I am going to tell him no more classes for my older boys...my mom takes my 6 yo...until after the baby is born. I am going to skip Wednesday night church...DH is going to take the kiddos (YAY for absolute quiet time!). The kids have their Christmas play this Sunday then I think I am going to start skipping some Sunday mornings too and just let DH take the kiddos! Once I get through Christmas next week....Christmas Eve services at my MIL's church and then exchange gifts at MIL's afterwards. Christmas day my family is coming here for dinner....DH does all of the cooking. The only things I will have to do is go to my OB appointments. My 13 yo is so responsible and he LOVES to cook so he is on dinner duty from now on. The kiddos have fixed their own lunches and breakfasts for years now! The boys have also done their own laundry for years now so it will not be to hard to bring my life to a stand still since I cut out the kids extra curriculars until after the baby is born.
