Happy four year anniversary!

Today I have been married to my best friend for four years! Wow! I can't believe its been four years already! I am so blessed to be married to you, Jason!

I love you Jason and can't wait to share a the next 80 years or more with you! :)

Happy Birthday Jason!!! We love you!

Cantina Loredo with Jason's Dad and family to celebrate last night! I LOVE their salsa! Corbin loved the birthday sparkler! (These pictures aren't great quality because I took them with my iphone! I forgot my camera!)

Our little guy fell asleep on the way to grocery store yesterday! :)

Today is Jason's 28th Birthday! Corbin and I very excited to celebrate Daddy's birthday! We are going to go to Chuy's so Jason can get his yummy New Mexican martini! Corbin has been yelling "BIRTHDAY!" for weeks! Whenever he sees candles he screams "BIRTHDAY!" We are going to come home and have a yummy birthday cake from Central Market afterwards!

We love you Jason! Have a wonderful birthday! :)

Today is my first day on bed rest... I never expected to have to be on bed rest for Jason's birthday or our anniversary which is Thursday. Luckily I am on modified bed rest and my doctor thought that being home and just relaxing would be good for me. I went to the doctor today and had a non-stress test where they monitored Grayson's heartbeat and he sounds great! My blood pressure was a lot better too... resting has done wonders! I just feel super guilty because I really want to be spending this time with Corbin before Grayson comes. However, Jason and I decided to have him still go to daycare because we are 1) paying for it! and 2) and I really need to focus on being healthy and making sure Grayson is alright! 3) Corbin loves going to "school" and seeing his best friend, Nevin!

Bed Rest here I come

I went to see my doctor on Monday. I had already lined my substitute up to come two days this week because Dr. K told me to taper off work after this week and to plan on going on bed rest starting Monday. So that is the plan right now. Dr. Kuhlmann just doesn't want my blood pressure to rise anymore and have to deliver Grayson earlier than he needs to be here. He said since I am 35 weeks that a huge milestone but he wants to keep Grayson out of the NICU and be healthy, so bed rest is the way to do that. If anything were to change for the worse with my blood pressure in the next few weeks the option would be to deliver Grayson early.

I go back next Monday to have an Non-stress test where they hook me up to the fetal monitor and see how Grayson is doing for length of time. Then the week after I am having an ultrasound to see how big our little guy is. I am looking forward to seeing him again and Jason is coming to see him too! ;)

I am just sad that I have to start bed rest on Jason's birthday and then on the 19th its our 4 year anniversary. I really want to go out and celebrate!

Bed Rest?

I went to see Dr. Kuhlmann again. My blood pressure was 140/90 again. I now am required to go to the doctor every week now because of my high blood pressure. There wasn't any protein in my urine, which is good, and I have no swelling in my hands or feet (these are a few telltale signs of preeclampsia.)

During that appointment Dr. Kuhlmann had to reposition the Doppler a few times which kinda freaked me out. He reassured me that everything was ok with Grayson but his head was staying in one position and he was having a hard time getting a good heart beat reading.

Dr. Kuhlmann did tell me that probably after next week I am going to have to go on bed rest, which can help lower my blood pressure. I had blood work done today too though so if something shows up that's questionable, bed rest maybe sooner. I guess I will be ok with that because at least I will almost be 36 weeks at that time. I just really don't want to stop working. I had planned on working until Grayson comes. Bed rest would be VERY hard on me because I don't like to be told I can't do something and I start freaking out about household chores that aren't getting done etc. Since Jason has been home today he has made me stay on the couch! I love my husband!

Our sweet boy cracked Jason and I up this morning! He has started saying "that nice!" We were getting him ready for school this morning and Jason had this show on called "Sunrise Earth." It shows different sunrises in exotic/cool places around the world. Corbin all the sudden said "Wow, that nice!" We were so proud he put together 3 words!

C-section scheduled

I went to the doctor this afternoon for a checkup. I am 33 weeks! The bad news is that my blood pressure was 140/90. I have seen this before! The nurse was like "Oh Dr. Kuhlmann is going to make you stop working!" I was like "GRREAAT!" (I was a little worried about that because I want to work on until I have the little guy!) Luckily Dr. Kuhlmann told me to rest as much as possible and then see what happens next week.

I really hope I don't end up with preeclampsia again! The sad thing is that people typically get preeclampsia with their first child. With my luck I will have it with both! (High blood pressure runs in my family!) I have to go back to the doctor again on Monday to get my blood pressure redone and do another urine sample to make sure I don't have protein in my urine.

I totally forgot to ask Dr. Kuhlmann about the scheduled c-section because at my last visit he told me that someone would call to schedule it. I called on my way home and the nurse said the c-section was already scheduled! NO ONE CALLED US! I was a little mad about that!

On a more positive note our c-section is scheduled for December 9th at 9:30! We can't wait to meet our little Grayson!

Picture Day!

This week our sweet boy had picture day!!! He looked so handsome!! I can't wait to buy the pictures this week! I saw the proofs and oh dear I need to buy them all! :) He took some really cute pictures! Apparently he was one of the only students in his class that would take a picture! Our son loves getting his picture taken! :)

Pizza!!

The other night I helped Mommy cook for the first time! Mommy wanted to do this special activity with me because Mimi, my grandma, used to cook and bake with Mommy ALL the time and she has very fond memories of cooking with her Mommy! She wants to pass on that tradition and create new memories with me!

We made a homemade pizza!

First we poked holes in the dough so it wouldn't rise too much!

Didn't I do a good job?

Then we put the pizza sauce on! I was really good at spreading it!

I helped sprinkle on the cheese! I liked to eat it too!

I helped put on the veggies! Mommy told me she thinks she should have thought of this idea long ago because I was trying and eating new veggies I have never eaten before!

I love being Mommy's helper! :)

Caught with an olive in my mouth! ;)

Ready to bake!

I did a really good job making the pizza! I even helped Mommy make zucchini bread for my teachers at school for teacher appreciation day!

Something I'm really enjoying lately is having Mommy and Daddy crawl in bed with me and read stories before bedtime. My favorites right now are "Good night Moon" or as I call it "Night Moon", "No, David", and "Brown Bear, Brown Bear." I think Mommy has been feeling a little sad though because I am really favoring Daddy or as I call him "Daaa Yee" right now! I wouldn't let Mommy read any of the books last night. Mommy knows I still love her and I send her vibes to tell her not to take it personal!

I have also been talking up a STORM latey! Last night while in the bathtub I kept asking Mommy and Daddy "whats this?" I am very curious! I also say "I sorry!"

I also like to play the game "Where is Grayson?!" When Mommy says "Where's Grayson?" I lift up Mommy's shirt and kiss or blow raspberries on her tummy! I like that game! :) Grayson freaked me out the other night he was MOVING A TON and was pushing a foot or a leg out and I put my hand on Mommy's tummy and had this look of terror on my face! Mommy and Daddy laughed at me!

Mommy got to see me get my first kisses today from a girl when I got picked up from school! My friend Piper kept giving me kisses when I was leaving! Mommy thought it was really cute!
