Nursery and update...

Yes, it has been a while. Sorry. Well two weeks ago my blood pressure jumped and they made me go to the hospital for observation. What an experience. Don't even get me started on the inefficiency of hospitals right now. I was amazed at Kade's patience. I have never answered the same questions over and over again within a few days. I also had my blood taken three times within 5 days. Can that be healthy I ask? I also had the pleasure of collecting my urine for 24 hours. Has anyone ever thought of how much you actually pee in 24 hours? Well, its a lot! The story about taking my urine to the hospital is a whole different story where Kade may have lost his patience a little, but the lab deserved it. Anyway, after all of that they decided to put me on bed rest which I will blog about later. Bed rest is an issue all it's own! They checked me at 37 weeks, because they were thinking about starting me but I was only dilated 1 cm and 50% effaced. So we are waiting until this thursday and she will check me again. Everyone keeps asking me if I'm ready but how do you answer that? I don't know if I'm ready. I would have freaked out if they started me last week. I planned on this kid coming April 10....it isn't April 10 yet. But oh well, of course I am excited whenever she comes.

Nursery.... I was supposed to go on an annual golf trip this week with Kade's family but my doctor obviously wouldn't let me go so I told Kade he could still go and my fabulous mom came up and spent the weekend. Not only did we eat a tremendous amount of food but she cleaned every room in my house and got the nursery all ready. Kade had set up the furniture and moved everything around but she washed and put everything away and did all of the final touches. It was fabulous! I don't know what I would have done without her! Anyway, here are some pictures of the nursery.
