What a week!

TGIF…I’m glad this week is over. It’s been a rough one. Beginning with my dad’s car accident on Sunday, my trip to the hospital for high blood pressure on Monday and my car accident on Wednesday, it’s no wonder I’m showing signs of preeclampsia/toxemia. Thank God my dad and I are both okay.

Today I went to the doctor’s and my symptoms have improved. All the tests they ran on my urine and blood came back pretty normal. My blood pressure was also normal today. So, the doctor said that he’s unsure if things will get worse, but they are watching me closely. Some women have very mild cases of toxemia and others are severe. Right now it’s looking like I’m having a mild case, and hopefully it will not get any worse.

I’m staying home from work today to rest. Very exhausted from this week. The doctor is allowing me to return to work part time next week. If any of my symptoms get worse, I will probably be put on bed rest.

I’m very glad to get to go back to work. I want to save as much time as possible for after the baby is born. Also, my work friends are throwing me a shower next Wednesday =)

Last night I experienced my first labor pains. I wouldn’t call them contractions…just cramping. It was in my back and wrapped around my uterous. Very mild, but definitely a good sign =)

Anson is sick in bed today. He feels nauseated and has a cough & cold. I hope he gets well before tomorrow evening. We have tickets to see David Copperfield at Playhouse Square. My boss bought me the tickets as a reward for work. It should be an awesome show!

Well, I’m going to go take a nap and relax. Hope all is well with everyone. Thanks for stopping by to read our blog. Love, Tamara Mae
