Baby Shower and Bedrest!

Oh, what a difference a week makes! I had a doctor's appointment last week and my blood pressure was a little high. After numerous blood tests, non-stress tests, an ultrasound, and a way fun 24 hour urine test, the doctor discovered that I did not have pre-eclampsia, however, I do have Pregnancy Induced Hypertension. My blood pressure is back to normal, however, the doctor decided that I should take it easy for the duration of the pregnancy, which means no more work for me. The Lord has really given me a Peace about it and I know this is all done for a reason. I am so fortunate to have a great practice that looks after me and some great friends who are more than willing to help out!




Speaking of great friends, Kelly and Kristi threw me a baby shower this weekend. It was so wonderful and I just feel so blessed. It is amazing how the Lord uses every situation to reveal His love. Here are some fun pics from the day.

The Nursery

Well, we have the nursery all set up and ready to go! It even smells like a sweet little baby up there. It is so bright and airy that we are sure the baby will love sleeping, playing, and just generally enjoying the room. We hope you enjoy some of the pictures!




As many of you know, we have decided to cloth diaper our little one. After doing all of the research we decided that this option was best for many reasons, such as being good stewards, saving money, and using natural materials on the baby. But, let's face it...cloth diapers are so darn cute! Here are some pictures of some of the diapers, covers, and wipes for the little one.
