Christmas and Bad News:(

Christmas was great this year! Brett and I were at my parents house for Christmas Eve, we had a yummy dinner and opened presents with everyone. Christmas morning Brett and I opened gifts and headed to my parents again for breakfast and to watch Kirra and Tysen open Santa gifts! Then we went to Brett's parents for more presents and a delicious lunch! It was a great day we just relaxed and had fun with our families, I love Christmas and this year was one of the best!

I didn't take too many pictures this year, even though my mommy surprised me with a new camera!, we were trying out our new video camera.

Bad news:

Today I had my doctor's appointment and my doctor has been a little concerned about my blood pressure, because it has slowly been getting higher. Anyway, I had told him I didn't feel too well yesterday or today and he said it was related to the blood pressure, so... his best suggestion was to be on part time bed rest!! ahhh! I will go crazy! I get to work only in the mornings and hang out on my couch in the afternoons, if my blood pressure stays ok. But it is worth it for a healthy baby boy that is coming very soon!:)

Glad you had a good Christmas. Moms always get the best presents. At least your only on part time bed rest and only have a couple weeks to go. Before you know it he will be here. Let me know if you need anything.

Drink lots and lots! Go to the library and get some books you've been wanting to read or lots of movies and use it as an excuse for Brett to spoil you, although I'm sure that he already does! Take care of yourself! I can't wait to see your little guy!

sorry to hear about the bed rest. i started with all of those symtoms with about 6 weeks left and ended up getting full blown toxemia. They had to induce me a week early, so Jackson was here sooner than we thought. Just rest up, and take it easy. Hope your feet aren't too swollen...I think I hated that part the most. I had to wear flipflops in the middle of winter! UGH!!! If you need anything let me know!! :) Good luck!

Sorry to hear about the bed rest! It is too bad it comes at a point in life when you can't enjoy laying around! If you need help with anything let me know. We are always running back and forth so we would be happy to bring supplies if you need them! You have my number, use it!!!
