Things are going better in a lot of ways. I have been going to my OB every 2 weeks since 24 weeks due to my high blood pressure. He put me on 250 mg of Aldomet 3 itmes a day at 25 weeks. Then at 27 weeks he he increased it to 500 mg 3 times/day. That is what he had me on at the end with Dawson and Emmalee and it didn't help. Well, thankfully it is working right now! My last 2 appts, I have had readings of 125/70 and 112/73! I am very happy and I can tell a HUGE difference in hopw I feel. I really notice it when I forget to take a dose.
The only thing now is that my whole lower body hurt really bad. I dread getting out of bed, sitting too long, walking, turning positions in bed, etc. Thankfully Mike and the kids have really stepped up to help me.
I am right at 30 lbs now and hope not to gain more than 40 *crosses fingers*. I had failed my 1 hour glucose test. I t6ook the 3 hour a few weeks ago and found out on my b-day that I passed. That was the best b-day present. I was so scared of getting gestational diabetes. I couldn;t handle having 2 reasons to be classified as a high risk pregnancy. Diabetes runs in my family and I will be 30 next year, so it scares me a little. Okay it scares me a lot.
I have made a pact to start losing weight againa week after Peyton is born. I plan on exercising 4 times a week or more. I will walk Emmalee and Peyton to pick up Dawson from his bus a mile away. Then I have some workout dvd's and I told Mike I want an exercise bike for our anniversary. So I can mix up the workouts. Then we have my brothers weight training system because it didn;t fit at his house and I will do that 3 time a week. That with weight watchers will do it again!
Peyton is doing great. I had a 32 week ultrasound just to make sure my hypertension didn't decrease my fluid levels or do any damage to him. He look wonderful and healthy. We got some great headshots of him. His face is shaped and aligned like Dawson's from what I can see. It made me so antsy to see him. Oh and the second ultrasound confirmed that the first one is right and he is a boy!!!
Here are some shots of my little man!
I also threw in a few holiday ones of Dawson and Emmalee. They are from Christmas eve in their new PJ's and a few weeks before that when they made a gingerbread house. They had a blast this Christmas. their fave gift is definetly the trampoline. They play on it every chance they get!
Mike got me some great gifts this year! He got me a new dinnerware set that I love! I got some porcealin bakeware, some new glassware and flatware, curve crush cologne and a nice fleecy robe. For my Bday he got me a web cam and a sewing machine! My Best Friend moved to North Carolina and we had talked about getting web cams to talk for free and so our kids could talk and see eachother. Now we can! I am slowly learning to sew. It is gonna take a while, lol. Then with my bday money from my mom and in-laws I got a new iPod shuffle! It is a 1 gig and it is sooooo much smaller and nicer than my old one. The kids took off with the old one and I have yet to find it.
Emmalee is getting a little easier lately. NOt sure why, but I am happy. things have been a lot less stressful. dawson is doing great in school and is reading a little more and even doing basic adding and subtracting! My baby is growing up *sniff-sniff*.
Well the benadryl is finally kicking in so I am out. I hope everyone has an incredible and safe 2007!!!
