Pregnancy update

I had a Drs. apt. yesterday and lately Ive been feeling great. So I was a little suprised to find that my blood pressure was high and I had protein in my urine. My doctor was very concerned, especially about my BP. So for the weekend, I am on bed rest and I have a follow-up apt. on Monday as well as an ultrasound. The symptoms I have are typical symptoms for preeclampsia. Which in extremes can cause problems for both me and the baby. Hopefully, these symptoms clear up by Monday, and I am not on bed rest the rest of my pregnancy. I'm 31 weeks right now, so I have a few weeks to go until I'm considered in the clear if they need to take the baby early. Hopefully that will not need to happen. Despite everything, I am feeling good and have not had a lot swelling today either. I will update once I find out how things on Monday. God is in control and I know that he will protect our little girl. Ive been praying for wisdom on how I need to take it easy and being careful what I do. I want our little one to be as safe as possible.

Its summer and the belly leads the way!

I love this time of year, its beautiful, warm and I feel like I have a ton of energy! Even being preggo I feel pretty good. Although I try to stay out of the heat so I do not swell too much. My hands and feet swell a little when I am on my feet and in the heat. Our little girl moves around all the time and Jonathan can see her actually move outside my stomach now. Its so cute to see her move. She has been kicking my ribs like crazy. We have decided to name our little girl Addison. We are not sure on a middle name just yet, but we think Addison will fit her well.

Since I last posted we have been extremely busy. Between work, working on the house and cars, Jonathan and I barely have time for anything else. Jonathan finally was able to get our Jeep fixed last weekend! We are so happy about that. He basically had to rebuild the entire engine, so it was a lot of work. He is so good with that stuff, and he did a great job on it! We're going to start getting the baby's room in tip top shape and are anticipating our little girls arrival.
