I know it has been quite a while since I have posted...I guess life has been crazy lately. I really hope to go back and post about the fun things we have been up to. For right now, I just want to say thank you to all of you who wrote and called with birthday wishes--I appreciate it so much! I love this picture of the girls--they were helping me make a birthday cake.*
I also wanted to give a little update on my pregnancy. The last time I saw my doctor, she told me to call in if I had a headache that wouldn't go away because headaches are another indicator of preeclampsia. I am prone to headaches, so I wasn't surprised when I ended up with one last Friday. It continued to get worse as the evening went on and was so horrible though the night that I didn't sleep at all...I honestly don't know if a headache has ever kept me up for an entire night before. I called in Saturday morning and spent the afternoon getting evaluated at St. Joe's. Everything was pretty much the same--I still had protein in my urine and my blood pressure was higher than it should be. They sent me home with some sleeping pills to help me rest, and by Sunday afternoon I was starting to feel better. I went in for a follow-up on Tuesday to find out more of the same...nothing is really changing. They want to keep a close eye on me and told me to take it easy when I can. I go in again today for another check--hopefully all is well!
