Emma's Thanksgiving Lunch

Emma's school had a Thanksgiving lunch and program for all of the families.  She was soooo excited for us to come. The kids sang some songs and then they had a lunch for everyone. Emma did so good with her songs. She was practicing for me all week and was so excited about singing them. We took videos of two of them. She had so much fun!

 

Here she is right before I took her to school. My videos would not upload, but here are some pictures of her performance. She sure loves to sing and dance!

 

Happy Thanksgiving!

 





 

 

After she sang we had to rush off to Laramie for my OB appointment. My blood pressure has been really good and all of my labs are staying in the normal range. The Dr. did a growth ultrasound. We didn't get a picture so I don't have one to post :(.  Not only is the baby growing, but it looks like he could be a big baby. My C-section is scheduled for December 20th. 3 weeks and counting! I can't wait! I'm so excited! I actually had a dream last night that the Dr. delivered him and then said he wasn't ready and put him back. Oh, I think I'm going a little crazy.

 

 

Baby update and sick little girl!

So, as many of you remember when I was pregnant with Emma I was diagnosed with Preeclapsia at about 30 weeks. Well, at about the same time with this pregnancy my blood pressure started to get a little high. So, for the last 2 1/2 weeks I've been on semi-bed rest. Basically I need to be laying down and resting most of the time unless Emma needs me. I still take her back and forth to preschool, but am resting most of the time. It is helping and my blood pressure has stayed down. My labs are still normal so I technically don't have preeclampsia. I'm sure the rest is helping with that. So, basically I get pretty bored and frustrated, but I just try to remind myself that being on bed rest is better than having my baby born too early. He is doing great though. He moves around great.

 

My poor Emma has had a rough weekend. She woke up at about 1 am saying she didn't feel good and then a half hour later started throwing up. That kept up until about 530 and then more sickness at about 1030 this morning. My poor baby was pretty miserable. I'm glad Robert was home to help me. It was definitely a blessing that it happened on the weekend. She's already back to her normal happy self. What a weekend. Things might be pretty boring around here until baby boy arrives. I'm doing all of my Christmas shopping online and Robert has been a great help at keeping up with things.

 

 

 

Halloween Fun!

We had a great Halloween this year! Since I am on partial bed rest it was pretty simple, but we had fun. Emma and Daddy carved pumpkins.

 

Last week was the Trunk or Treat at church. Emma was very excited to wear her Merida costume.

 

 

Halloween day was busy and fun. I tried to rest as much as I could, but we decided to go to Pizza Hut for a Halloween lunch.

 

Then as soon as we got home we had to race to get ready for Halloween at preschool.

Such a beautiful Merida!



 

After school my friend Mindi took Emma trick or treating downtown. Then we had some chili and Daddy took Emma trick or treating around the neighborhood. I joined in at the end when we drove around to a few friends house. We had a great Halloween. I loved handing out candy and just enjoying the excitement of the night.
