Vandi Visit

We had our Vanderbilt visit today and we got great news.....we were so excited that everything looked good and the doctor told us they did not have to see us again! YEAH!! They were very nice and all, but man the drive was getting old! He is head down and weighs approximately 5 lbs 7oz. We got to see him moving all around in there, which ofcourse we love!! He even pulled one of his feet up to his mouth and wiggled his toes for us:) It was too cute!

I am feeling pretty good. My blood pressure is starting to rise up again and I'm having more swelling in my hands and face so I will let Dr. Ottman know when we go see her on Monday. I know he needs to stay in there longer, so I hope we can get my BP under control again. I can't believe my ticker is down to the 40's now! I remember when it was in the 100's-- just like it was yesterday! Things have really been going so fast lately! I'm starting to have trouble sleeping at night. My legs get restless and I can't get comfortable. So I have been pacing the house and falling asleep on the couch so I don't bother Jill. When I am in there I usually drive her crazy because I am now snoring like a banshee!

Jill and I are on Spring Break this week and we have thoroughly enjoyed being off work. We have taken it easy, but we've also been pretty productive with our time too. She has even fixed me dinner every night- yummy stuff on the grill:) We had burgers Monday, Porkchops Tuesday, and then she grilled steaks tonight! Mmmmmmm.......Braden loves food and so do I:) I guess that is the update for now:) Thanks so much for checking in on us and sending us well wishes and prayers! We love all of our blogger friends and family and that check in on us:)

Love to all and have a great weekend!!

That's wonderful news on your Vanderbilt trip. What a relief, huh?! My gosh, I haven't been keeping up on blogs in the past week and I was stunned to see your ticker. I can't believe you only have 6 weeks left! WoW!! And if you go as early as I did, you may only have three! :)
