Last day of 2010

Well today is the last day of 2010 and tomorrow we will start the first day of 2011. This year has had a lot of ups and downs, good news and bad news, but the one thing that I will never forget is when I found out in the month of June that I was pregnant. My brother Jeff getting married to Talia in October and Jason taking the supervisor's position for Transystems. The one thing that I am very pround of is the weight that my dad has lost when he started the diet in July. He has so far lost little over 80 pounds. Jason has been maintaining his weight also. He is so pround of his self for losing the weight and that he is going to be a father in 2011.


Everyone Have a Happy New Year

Very Happy

Today we had our last appointment for the week and everything looks good. Nothing has changed with the lab work, blood pressure still is jumping around, Riley is moving around a lot and last night he would not let me sleep until I got into the right position then I was able to relax and sleep.

I can not believe the weather that we have been getting the past few days..... Roads are slick and the wind is blowing which it does not help out when the snow is falling. I can not believe that there is one more day left in the year 2010....

Jason got to put the changing table together

Here is the finished project.....

Here is Jason putting it together......

Jason was wanting to put Riley's crib together but when we go pick it up it will already be out together. So I ordered the changing table and we got it delievered on today. Jason started as soon as he could, he was so happy about it.......

Baby's Room

The baby's room finally got painted even though I did not get to help. My parents came one day and cleaned out the room and put blue tape around the room. Dad put the yellow paint on the wall and Jason, Kelly and Aunt Marcie finished putting the green on yesterday and Jason put the second coat on today. Now all we need to do is get the border ordered and start moving things into the room. The room is going to be decorated with John Deere tractors. Jason picked the decore and the paint we picked together not knowing want we were going to have. They did a really good job and I will thank them a lot for getting it done while I have been on bed rest. Thanks everyone that help.... Love you a lot.

Christmas with my husband & mother in law

Jason, kelly and aunt marice came down to celebrate christmas with me since jason and i do not want to take the chance of something happening with me and the baby. We had pizza with my family and then we all opened gifts. Jason gave me a new camera with a carrying case. Baby Riley got gifts to. He got 2 bibs and 2 burp cloths (one has john deere tractors and the other has cow print), socks that look like sneakers, camo pants and a shirt that says my dad rocks, and 2 toys. We got a couple of gift cards also. Jason got shirts, the expendables, coffee mug, and a few little things in his stocking. I got a knitted scarf, gloves, cozy socks, the rest of the harry potter books in hard back, a few little things in my stocking also. It was fun and I enjoyed the fact that they came down to celebrate with me.

The other thing is that I will not be going to Jason's dad's house to celebrate either. I feel really bad but I am just looking at for Riley and myself.

Jason and I went to the dr today for my non stress test and then we visited with the dr. During the non stress test, Riley behaved again and the nurse loves it. She always comes in and says how well he behaves everytime. My blood pressure did not look good before we left for the dr and when we arrived. They retook my blood pressure before seeing the dr and it did drop. Part of the problem is that the bottom number was slowly rising.

Deep down I had a feeling that this appointment was not going to be a good one. When the doctor came in we talked about my blood pressure and I showed him what my blood pressure was doing while I was at my parents house. He mentioned that he thinks that we will have to deliver Riley early then what we were hoping for. He then asked us if we had the choice would we want to go to Ogden, Ut or up to st. lukes hospital downtown instead. We picked Boise cause we have family up there and would be closer for other family members also. He went can call a dr up there to talk about my blood pressure and what to do. He came back and told me that they are going to repeat my blood work and the 24 hour urine collection again, put me on a blood pressure med to help lower it. He did stated that if we go to Boise that they will admit me there for the rest of my pregnancy and will not let me go past 37 weeks.

I will say that I am scared but the decsions that are being made are for the health and safety of Riley and me. We keep hoping that for the best.

Christmas with a uncle & cousins

Today my uncle, his wife and son came up from utah to spend christmas with grand since they will not be here for christmas eve. Dad did dinner with ham, cheesy potatoes, veggies and corn then cheese cake and pumpkin rolls for desert. One of my uncles daughter, her husband and 2 kids came down also. It was fun watching the kids open up their gifts and then playing with the toys.

I have been so wore out since saturday with everything that has been going on that I think that I will be heading to bed early or take a nap, one of the two.

Celebrating Christmas early with the parents

Today dod cooked scones and bacon for breakfast and then we opened gifts. Jeff and Talia came down to celebrate with us. We do christmas early with our parent cause the rest of us have other christmas's to go to between and christmas. It was a good christmas..... We got some really cute things even for Riley. He got camo boots, camo pants and 4 different oneises from Jeff and Talia. From my parents he got a john deere tractor toy with a little farmer. Jason and I got money and two wii games. For dinner dad cooked prime rib, mash potatoes, corn, salad and home made rolls. Dinner was really good. Jeff and Talia headed back home due to the weather and then later on that night they had family friends over to play cards and did not get done till 1 in the morning. It was a very fun day

Getting things done

I am finally getting some of my projects done while I have been on bed rest. I have finished my gift to my brother and his wife, got pictures printed and got my christmas shopping done. I have other projects to do but those are going to have to be done by Jason and the rest of our family. We need to finish painting the baby's room and get the dresser repainted also. I have been trying to keep up on blogging but I have been slacking a bit on that also.

Today I go in for my non stress test and then I think that I will come back to my parents house and take a nap.

Update

We went to the doctor today to have our non stress test and then to visit with the dr. Everything went really good. The nurse likes how well behaved he his when it comes to montioring his heart beat. I have notices that he likes to kick and move around when they have me hooked up to the montior. The first time that we had to do this Jason kept asking me why I was laughing. I told him to just watch my stomach and he would see why. The next thing that I know Jason starts to laugh. I asked him what was so funny..... He tolded me that he seen Riley move across my stomach. Jason loves watching and feeling Riley move. I smile everytime when he puts his hand on my stomach and then wraps his arms around my waist and puts his ear to my stomach.

We met with the dr and he told us that everything looks good with the ultrasound and that the only thing that came back not looking good was my urine along with my blood pressure. He still wants me to monitior my blood pressure at home, monitor fetal movement, and watch for any symptoms that can cause me to have to go in. I have to watch for a headache that won't go away, pain on my right side (pain that feels like my gallbaldder, liver pain) or in better terms pain under my right breast. I can not let my blood pressure go over 160/105 constantly.

I am resting and staying at my parents house during all of this and I will admit that I am having a hard time trying to get into the swing of being on bed rest and not doing much. We go twice a week for the non stress test and we visit with the dr once a week.

28 week ultrasound

Here is a 3D picture of Riley.......

After having a good christmas party with my department over at MMH..... We went over to the hospital to have our ultrasound. It was a fun to see Riley and how big he has got since the last ultrasound. He had his back pushing outward and he was folded in half cause his legs were up by his face along with his arms... It was cute.. I think that he has a personality coming through already. He is doing good and his growing right on schedule. He weights 3 pounds right now. He is going to be a long baby when he delivers.... enjoy the pictures

got bad news

Jason and I drove down to Burley to turn in my collect of urine to the lab.... Later on in the day I got a call to schedule our ultrasound and then around 3:30 pm I got a call from the dr telling me that my blood work came back fine but was my urine that came back abnormal, so I will have my ultrasound tomorrow at 1 pm and then I will go and visit with him. He is going to have me visit his office twice a week to keep and eye on me and the baby. One day I will visit with him and the second day I will go in and they will monitored the baby's heart rate for 20 mins. He also started my on a steriod today to help the baby's lungs to mature if we have to deliever him early. I will have one more steriod shot tomorrow. I now have to monitor my blood pressure, count baby movements, and I am going to be put on modified bed rest also. This is really hard to take in..... I never planned for this (but every prenancy is different) all I was planning for is if he comes late. We will find out more tomorrow.

Not a good apoointment

Went to the dr today and my blood pressure is still high even after the second repeat... The dr had them draw blood and then I have to do a 24 hour urine collect and turn it in the next day. We talked about what will happen if the test come back abnormal. Modified bed rest, may have to deliever early, but we are trying to figure out why I am having this problem early in the pregnancy when it is more common towards the end. We will be having an ultrasound to see how he is growing and developing too. I hope tthings turn out for the best and we can check this off and put it behinds us. I am keeping my fingures crossed and praying.

In shock

I can not believe that I have less then 3 months left before Riley comes into ours lifes..... I'm shocked, happy, and nerves all at the same time. Last saturday the 4th, my parents came over and helped tape off the nursery and started painting. We have one more color to put on and then we need to add the border and the curtains. I am hoping that I will have pictures to post on here of everyone having fun getting things ready for the nephew, grandson, and son.. We are having fun and so are the grandparents....... I can not wait to meet the little guy in person.

Our Christmas tree

I put up our christmas tree tonight and yes, its a small one....... Jason and I have been so thankful this year even for our little Riley that is not due till the 26th of February 2011. We have not decorated this much for christmas but thats okay.
