THIS IS NOT A PLEASENT POST- IM CRABBY- THIS POSTING WAS JUST SO I COULD VENT (in hopes it would lower that dang BP of mine).
:)
I have had a very crabby last couple of days, partly because im giant prego with raging hormones, and not working and being home all the time im sure adds to it. I cooked nice dinners all week, tuesday for example I made fried chicken (of course, cause its His favorite), home made mashed potatoes and home made gravy and I even cooked up a fresh zuchinni (of course, I was the only one to eat it, David is allergic to anything slightly healthy and fresh). So yesterday I worked a fricken long day, which good for me im not supposed to be workin anyway! I got home around 8, my legs are so swollen they are throbbing, I have a headache, I just feel sick period, plus some other things were making me crabby So I call my wonderful husband on my way home from work so I can talk and vent and let him know how icky I feel (he had been home for a couple hours by now) and as soon as I tell him how sick I feel he says "oh.. whats for dinner" Ughhhhhh! Its 8 at night, I dont want to make dinner. So I was crabby, and he did not get anything fancy for dinner. I made cheese tortillas with meat in them. Than we went and got ice cream and that made me feel less crabby :) Than we were in bed before 10pm. I love nights I can be in bed in the 9 o'clock hour! Today I thought I would be happier, hoping all my crabbiness wore off yesterday, but no, it did not. All the same people I hated yesterday I still hate today. My doctors appointment went awful! Im still sick as ever, and the doctor was in a hurry to go deliver a baby thats momma was 9cm dialated (this made me happy, I love new moms and babies). The doctor said unless something happens over the weekend we will leave him in until Monday at least UGHHHH!! I wanted him here today! I packed the car seat, and the diaper bag and the breast pump and all that jaz into to car last night so I would be ready! ALSO- I wanted to participate in 'See Spot Walk' this saturday, and the Dr. said NOOOPE you cant, Plain White T's will also be here Saturday and guess what? Yeah you guessed it, cant go to that either! So I will go see my momma this weekend :) The doctor did give me 1 scoop of good news though... im 75% effaced! Whooooooo!!! :)
Thats all for today- still pregnant :)
I feel better already after typing up my blog of crabby :)
Happy Thursday!

Going Back to Work with Baby..
So, My belly has been getting so so large im 35+ weeks now and I just fall more inlove with my stretch mark free belly everyday! My belly button has been flat since about 3.5months and now its not just flat but it pokes out. So. Adorable. :) Last night Dave drempt that we had our little baby 4 weeks early, so next week, and I named him Drake Shadwick Cole :) He weighed 6lbs and 11oz. In the dream the doctor sent me over to the hospital again and I was all alone and than surprise, they made me have a baby and I did it with out anyone being there so I named him by myself too :) By the way we had talked about Drake and 1000 other names but it didnt really move us, and we have been talking about Shad... not Shadwick hahaha So Im not sure where he pulled that from. I almost want to name the baby this now. If he is born next week than I think we need to for sure ;)
So I am not to be working anymore, says my doctor. I was talking to my wonderful boss the other day and she said when I work at the Meridian office (I work at Meridian, and Nampa offices- 2 of their 5 locations), because its pretty slow and relaxed than I can bring Baby Cole to work with me!!! Im so excited :) So I am going to try and work only at the Meridian office everyday its open which is only 4 days a week. Perfect ammount of time to work, lots of momma and baby time, dont have to worry about a baby sitter- or paying for one, I can breast feed just as often or MORE than I will have to pump! Im so excited about this opportunity and so excited my baby will be bonding and learning from me, his momma and not a babysitter (not that baby sitters are bad).
Speaking of breastfeeding, I went to my breastfeeding class and it was very..interesteing! Saw lots of naked boobies and they were not all beautiful hah :) But, Im glad I went. I have been very nervous to do it and this comforted me a lot and reassured me that YES, This is what I want to do! Im not as worried about it now, but its still very foreign to me obviously so I am still a bit nervous. Well, Thats all I have on my mind for today!
Happy Wednesday!

Dave, Athena, Momma, and Baby
I have been so busy lately, and I have felt like I have nothing fantastic to write about BUT I didnt want my next post to be me announcing the arrival of our baby boy soooo here I go :)
ABOUT DAVE: Dave has been doing his usual, he is the busiest person I know! He has his internship with the sheriff dept, full time school, and when he has time he works on his dads farm. He still finds time to help me clean the house, and take me out on dates though :) He is the sweetest! I lovehim!
ABOUT ATHENA AND PUPPIES: Athena has all her puppy energy back (she lost it all when she was pregnant and nursing)!! She is always bouncing around and playing and wanting to play with her pups, she is not the most gentle dog when it comes to playing with her puppies so when they get tired of it we yell her name so she calms down. :) The pups all weigh over 20lbs! SO BIG! They are fun, The ones that are sold are almost ready to leave us and its been emotional for me :) (cause im pregnant im sure!! (; !!)
ABOUT BABY AND MOMMA: So I am 35 weeks pregnant.. wow only 5 weeks left to go (if I made it to my due date..) Not my whole pregnancy but this last trimester we have really really been struggling with my health, babys health and preeclampsia (pregnancy disease). My BP has been high but nothing to crazy, My feet have been so swollen and my hands and everything else, its so uncomfortable. Some days I dont have much swelling and I try to enjoy those days and take advantage of it :) I was feeling really icky one day at work so when I got off I called the on care doctor and they said go to Labor and Delivery just so they can do a check up, we (the doctor, Dave, and I) didnt think it was anything serious but we just wanted to be sure, and nothing to serious was wrong :). Just a couple days before this I got a pimple in my armpit and I thought I would just tough it out and it would go away, OMG it hurt sooo bad! So I showed it to my doctor 3 days after getting it (the day after I went to L&D) and she said OMG! She didnt think it was a pimple or an ingrown hair, so she prescribed me a strong antibiotic that was safe for baby and said if it got worse to call her ASAP (this is Thursday). (Sorry this part of the story is sooo gross ) So by now ive had it for like 3-4 days its like 3 inches long and is sticking of my underarm like a 1/4 inch, it looks like its filled with black, its so sore I cant even move my arm, shave, or put on deodorant! AWFUL! It was hard as a rock also :( So I called my doctor on Friday when I got off work and she said go to Urgent Care and have them lance it open. So I did. It was so painful, they numbed it up. The stick of the needle killed me since it was so sore and tight, the anesthetic BURNED, when he cut into my arm I could feel it :/ than he had to drain it.. So he squeeeeezzzeeedddd the EFF out of it owwwwyyyy! That he did a pack dressing so he had to pack it with gauze, than they bandaged me up, I could not move my arm for like 3 days... and the next 2 days were Lamaze class :) yay! SO they sent the 'stuff' off to be cultured and told me to keep taking my antibiotics and to keep changing the dressing and come back in 2 days to have the pack dressing changed.
So we had Lamaze! It was so fun, met some great people! Learned a lot, saw a lot of interesting videos, toured to Labor and Delivery, and the Postpartum wing of the hospital! Im so exited :) I chose a good hospital, but I didnt really question which hospital to go to since that's the one Dave 'lived' in. So now its Sunday and I had to go to the clinic to have them change my dressing so they laid back on the table and took off the bandage than pulled the dressing out of it, holy cow I had the biggest hole in my arm :( ick! Than they said "Oh we got your culture back and you have MRSA" Great.. and they also said its resistant to every drug except like 3 and one is class x for pregnant ladies, one was class c, and one was class d (safety classes). X causes big problems for baby, D most likely will and C eh? it might. Wow I was so worried about it. So I talked to my doctor before taking it and toldher it was MRSA blah blah. I said where the heck did I get it!? I lysol my walls twice a month, I vacuum everyday, I never have dishes in the sink, I wash the windows regularly, I clean my shower once a week, blah blah you get the idea. They said "who knows?" :) Oh thanks Doc! So when I went to my weekly appointment on Thursday, They did my weight and my BP and asked how I was feeling, and I happened to be feeling very icky that day. The doctor came in the room and talked to me about me MRSA and my antibiotics than she said "Im admitting you to the hospital" and I said ughhhh?? What? Right now? and she said "yeah Ill have you walk over they know youre coming and ill be over in a little bit". OHMGSH I was at the doctor alone and I was so scared. I tried so hard not to cry but hey, I have a lot of emotions right now! :) She sent me over cause she was worried I might finally have full blown preeclamsia. So they hooked me up to all the monitors and just took the best care of me :) when Dave got there I was in high spirits even though I was scared to death they would evict my baby from his cozy nest in my belly. Joked around with the nurses and tried to be fun, and not worried cry baby. So we stayed in the hospital until I stopped contracting and until my BP dropped. The doctor came over and said she wanted to try to keep him in til I was 37 weeks....ughh what ? thats in 2 weeks! OH! Because I have MRSA I had to be in isolation.. so there was a sign on my door and everyone had to suit up before coming in to see me, I thought oh great everyone is going to think I have AIDS or something :( I also got assigned to do a 24hour urine test... If you dont know what that is its when you get to save ALL your pee for 24hours and keep in refrigerated yummm Dont come to my house and drink out of containers unless you are POSITIVE its OJ or something ;) So the next day, Friday (2 actual days ago) I had to take my pee in to the hospital lab :) than my doctor called and said we might have to start seeing eachother TWICE a week now :) good thing she is wonderful and takes such good care of us! AND I get to do a 24hour urine every week now. To have full blown preeclampsia your urine has to score a 300, mine was 2XX (XX cause I cant really remember the number) But she said I was so close to having it and Im not to work anymore.... :( So I told my full time job that my doctor doesnt want me working and they are great about it and said to do what ever I needed! When I have my baby I will also have to be in isolation and so no one can be in there with me :( SAD!
So here I am trying to keep it easy and relax since I have all this time to waste :)
ABOUT DAVE: Dave has been doing his usual, he is the busiest person I know! He has his internship with the sheriff dept, full time school, and when he has time he works on his dads farm.

Only 7- Weeks Until the Big Beginning.. :)
So I am probably the most tired person on the planet. Being pregnant is a HUGE job..literally :) My sweet sweet baby has dropped into position and when the doctor checked to see if I had started to dilate she could feel his sweet head and ALL his beautiful hair!! The week before when I had anther doctor appointment I had an ultrasound and you could see all his fuzzy hair on the ultrasound!! WOW :) Im so happy. The big boy weighs over 5 lbs, I really have felt this whole pregnancy that he will be early, and now with the problems we have and him being dropped so low he honestly could be here any time! Im so scared :) and Im sooooo uncomfortable. Try having a babies head crammed into your pelvis :) it does not feel good and it makes your bladder hurt like 24/7. Its so cool though :) we have Lamaze next week and I can not wait... But to be honest I dont want to have to let this kid crawl out of me. Yuck. Owwwy. Ickk. Dont have a choice :)
MY baby shower was beautiful! There is still so much I need to do! :( that makes me sad hahah There is still alot to buy though too.. I think I am most stressed out about SHEETS! He only has ONE sheet! I need to go shopping but im to tired, I know I know im a big baby :) I am working twice as many hours as before now and it wears me out too.
Our puppies are almost giant dogs already :) they love to pull my hair and pull my lacy shirts..little punks :) I love them. I cant wait to love on my little man, he will be here before I know it!! :)
