I'm Baaaaaack!!

Holy crappers has it been a crazy week! Christmas was great, albeit hectic. I was exhausted and not feeling well (I had contractions starting on the 23rd that didn't let up until yesterday evening) but it was really an enjoyable few days.

We arrived at my mom's on Christmas Eve and Jamie's dad, stepmom and brother got there later that day. It was really nice to have them around. And even though they were there, we still had alot less people than usual and although I missed everyone else who wasn't there, it was nice to have a more quiet holiday than we usually do.

The 3 of us were spoiled rotten on Christmas. We all got a ton of stuff (I actually got all but 1 thing off my wish list), but we did our share of spoiling too. Our moms loved the gifts we got them, and that was a huge relief to me. We got Jamie's mom a grandmother's ring that she will be able to add to, and we got my mom a necklace with little boy and girl charms of all her grandchildren. Hopefully she will have room to add to that because only 1 of the 4 of us are done having kids (1 hasn't even started yet) and it's already pretty full.

Addy was spoiled even moreso than I thought she would be. And I was actually incredibly surprised at how well-behaved she was. She didn't get crabby or whiney or anything less than happy and excited the entire day, and it was alot for such a little girl to have to take in. She unwrapped her stocking with me, but after that she kind of lost interest in anything except playing with the paper and Grandma's stocking stuffers.

Boxing Day was spent at Jamie's mom's and the spoiling continued there. Although that day Addy wasn't quite as happy. The lack of sleep caught up to her, I think, plus she started teething again so she was feverish and vomiting alot. Which is still happening today, so I'm hoping that clears up soon and the tooth hurries up and arrives.

Her and I went to see the doctor yesterday. Her because she's constipated and prune juice is not helping, me because of the contractions and some bloody show I had on Monday. She got a prescription and I was told everything was fine with me until they did the pee dip. Although my blood pressure is fine, there was a lot of protein (between 3+ and 4+) so I got sent to the hospital for lots of labwork. No bedrest, though, so that's a relief. I am trying to come to terms with the idea that I am most likely going to have to have a c-section, though. But we will see how the labwork comes back and what my OB has to say about it all when the doctor from here talks to him.

The Vegreville hospital called this morning to book my ultrasound that the OB wanted to send me for. That was just to see if we're okay to go ahead with the VBAC, so I don't know, he may end up cancelling it. It's for January 31st which is about 2.5 weeks before my due date, so if we do have to go ahead with a section because of this protein, who knows, I may already have had the baby by then.
