Mama Knows Best

I am becoming a major slacker on this updating bit. 

Last Wednesday was my normal doctors appointment and my NST.  Everything went well and looked good.  My blood pressure was of concern for both appointments, so we have yet another thing to keep an eye on.  Lovely, no?  Oh well, that’s life.

The days have been flying by and I’ve been having a hard time keeping up with them! 

Saturday was my 2nd and final baby shower, thankfully.  I do not think I could last through another baby shower.  It went extremely well and the issues I thought would occur, never did.  I’d write more about it, it’s just that right now isn’t the apropriate time to discuss the issue.  Everything we didn’t receive at the last baby shower, we received at this one.  We now are completely set and ready for Ethan to arrive!

Sunday was my NST appointment at the hospital and I was seriously nervous when I first got there.  My blood pressure did some major sky rocketing since my last appointment.  My doctor had them take my blood pressure continuely and it continued to drop down, thank goodness!  My doctor said that had it stayed up where it was, they were going to induce me yesterday.

Yesterday was just a crazy day to begin with.  Normally, I do not drive, but Jeff was exhausted from pet setting my parents two great danes.  So he slept in the car on the way to the hospital and got himself in a little nap to and from.  On our way home, I got pulled over, but the officer was amazing!  He let me go with a warning.  My hands were shaking so bad and my eyes were watering.. I figured I was getting a ticket.  After all, I was doing 15 over the speed limit.  I could have almost kissed that police officer, but it probably would not have been appropriate.

Instead of coming straight home, Jeff and I picked up a couple of things at Wal-Mart, including my prescriptions.  While walking towards the pharmacy, who should we run into?  My doctor, who lives almost 40 minutes away!  I’m not sure why he was in this town, but it was pretty odd, but nice seeing him.  He busted me for being out of bed.. but I promised that just as soon as we left, I’d be going home to bed. 

But I lied, sort of.  We took a small nap, then I got hungry and we went up to the fair to grab a quick bite to eat.  What can I say.. I’m a sucker for fair food!  I love their fries and corn dogs.. plus I had to have some cotton candy.  All in all, it was an awesome evening.  When I got home, I took some ambien and passed out. 

Today.. I’ve been putting off homework, but I’m getting off of here to get it done.  Plus, I need to call my father and see if he can come fix my computer sometime this week.  I’d really like to get my mp3 filled with music.. and without my computer behaving, it’s hard.

Anyway.. goodnight =)  Will try to update in a few days.
