This week has been a extra hectic week for us. On Friday the 11th I was put on bed rest because of high blood pressure. The doctor said that it wasn't that high, they just didn't want it to get any higher. I had to stay on moderate bed rest until my next doctors appointment which was that following Friday. I was able to get up and do "light housework". Yeah, right! With a 3 year old I was constantly up. Not to mention, I was put on bed rest the day that my boss left on vacation for 3 days which happened to be over Labor Day weekend! I worked Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and had Wednesday and Thursday to truly be on bed rest! Work didn't wear me out much. I worked the evening shift and mainly took it easy the whole night. We don't have any family members that live close by, but my mom and dad were able to come up Saturday night to watch Shea while I was at work. That helped out a lot. Thanks mom and dad! (Secretly, I think my dad just wanted to come up to look at houses. He really wants to move! ha ha.) Last week was also the week that Shea started soccer. Wednesday was her first soccer practice and she had a blast. She hates wearing the shin guards, but once she saw all the other kids wearing them she was totally fine.




Yesterday, I had another doctors appointment and my blood pressure was fine again! I confessed that I did really do the whole bed rest thing. Which I must say is impossible when you have a 3 year old and on top of that are in the nesting stage of your pregnancy. I had to do everything. Thursday, I did pretty good though. I only cleaned and vacuumed out my car. Anyway, I am still on bed rest just because! AHHH! If I don't have this baby this week, then I will be induced on Monday the 21st. I'm thinking I will go into labor on Sunday the 20th! Just a feeling! ha ha. We are really excited and my list of 80 things to do before baby #2 is almost complete. We just have to work on our Tahoe and get it ready for the winter. Why, I don't know, just because I need to have it done right KNOW! ha ha. Today was Shea's first soccer game. It wasn't really a game because they still didn't have the teams put together and the uniforms like they were suppose to! But it was fun to watch anyway!



Shea did really good the first half of the game. Then she just got really hot and tired. She came running to us and said "Mom, Dad I'm tired. Can I go to bed?" It was so cute, and really hard to say no too. That never happens. We told her that after her game she can go to sleep. Once half time was over, played for a little longer. Ran over to her coach and told him she was tired. He said "Okay, just relax and take a break." So she did. With out hesitating she flopped right on the ground and just laid there. You could just hear him laughing.

Her she is playing goalie!

Even though this week was so hectic and hot and crazy! We had a great one. Oh, yeah! Other good news, our Landlord called and said that she is going to allow dogs now! Yeah, so we finally get to have my dog Teby come and stay with us. Shea and I are very excited!

Wow! What a week. I'm glad your blood pressure is okay - even if you aren't doing what the doctor says to! Shea playing soccer is too cute. I love watching kids play soccer, it is hilarious! Good luck. I hope the baby comes soon.
