Baby showers and bed rest

Sorry about the lack in posting recently.  As I'm sure you've guessed, I've been pretty busy with getting ready for the new baby.

Saturday, my family through a surprise shower for me.  It was really nice.  I had a great time and the food was so good.  Earlier in the day we went out for pizza at Antonio's in the River City Market.  It's such good pizza!!! Then, we went to Costco.  While we were shopping, I started to feel funny and it got to the point I thought that I might pass out.  Shawn's mom checked my blood sugar and it ended up being quite high.  I've never had blood sugar problems.  We checked it a couple more times as the night went on and it was normal again.

Sunday, we just kind of lounged around the house.  Around the same time of day as the day before, I started to feel funny again.  By the time I let Shawn call the doctor on call, they wanted me to come in to Labor and Delivery to be checked out.  They put me on the monitors, drew some blood and checked my blood sugar.  My blood sugar was fine and the baby was fine.  I was having some contractions, more frequently than I knew about.  They weren't big, but there were a lot of them none the less.  My blood came back low in iron and potassium. 

Monday, once again, I felt funny.  The doctor had me come in for a glucose screening. 

Yesterday, I had a doctor's appointment in the morning.  He told me that my iron is still low but I'm not diabetic.  He also put me on bed rest, which is where I am now.

I'm exhausted, sore, and don't feel to well but I'm hanging in there.  The rest of the family has been wonderful and very concerned.  I get lots of phone calls and facebook messages asking how I'm doing.  I have less than a week until Sydney gets here.  It's really starting to feel real.

Blogmas 2014 - Day 8 What Is On Your Wish List This Year

Oh my goodness, I'm really pretty easy to buy for.  I have pretty much everything a girl could want.  I mean of course I have a few things but I'm not really counting on anything because I already got a huge gift of the new car. I really love scarves, especially infinity scarves right now.  I'm beyond obsessed.   Fun gadgets, appliances, etc for my kitchen are always a win for me as well as cookbooks and decorations.  I'm so into all of it, and it's the best go to gift idea for me. A nice pair of rain boots or wellies.  I just bought some for all of my kids for Christmas, and I've been dying for my own for years. Vera Bradley!  I'm so in love with Vera Bradley.  I'd like a bigger purse, as well as a library tote bag. And honestly I've not asked for any of even these things because what I want more than anything else in the world, is our own house.  I want to buy a house for my kids to grow up in an...

Blogmas 2014- Day 1 Favorite Christmas Tradition

This year, I'm participating in Sandra's, at Diary of a Stay at Home Mom, Blogmas 2014.  If you want to join in, you can go over to her post, by clicking here , and see what it's all about.   When I was a kid, growing up, we never had fake trees.  I loved everything about them. The smell, the way they looked, and even more so, the going out as a family in the cold.  It was always a hunt whether at a tree far or a parking lot full of precut trees.  When I was younger it was the parking lot.  There was a place about a mile from our house that we would drive to.  We'd walk through tons of trees leaning against walls and fences.  My dad would hold each one up, shaking them a little bit and asking what we thought.  We all got to be involved in finding the perfect tree.  As we got older, we started going to tree farms instead of the parking lot.  We'd get a sled and a saw and walk between aisles and aisles in fields, full of gorgeou...
