Bed Rest and Big Feet

I dedicate this picture to my sister-in-law Amy because she loves other peoples feet....hehehe. I went to the doctor today for my last checkup and I got scolded and then put on bed rest. I was going to work 3 days this week and she put a stop to that so I'm now on maternity leave for the next 7 weeks...yipee! My blood pressure was 160 over 100 and kept rising while I was at the doctor. She even made me lay down while I was there. She said if I didn't take it easy I could have a seizure and I don't want that. My feet have looked like this for a few days now. I don't even have calves anymore - just a straight block all the way down. Atleast I was able to get a pedicure. Jax has still not moved down. In fact, he's sitting straight up in my belly now - butt down - so looks like I'm on for the C-Section on May 27th at 9:30am.

I've also included some updated pictures of his room. I caught mona, our boxer, taking a snooze on his rug today. She definitely knows somethings up. And the last crazy pictures are of my baseball belly at week 38 and 5 days. I couldn't resist - trying to do something fun with the belly. Enjoy!

Crazy Dog....Crazy Baby

Well, another week has gone by and no baby :( I had my 37 1/2 week appointment today and the little guy is still breach. Good news is that he did move his feet higher so there is still a possibility that he could turn the right way. My doctor and I discussed my options and I decided to go ahead and schedule a C-Section for May 27th at 9:30am at Baylor in Downtown Dallas. That gives Jax two weeks to make up his mind on how he wants to come out and make his grand appearance. My doctor even asked me if I've had a discussion with my son about coming out and I told her we talk every day. I've included a picture...notice I'm not smiling. This is what misery looks like at 37 weeks and 5 days - no sleep and swollen everything.

Now I know you're just dying to know why I have a crazy dog as stated in the title. Razor the german shepard has issues. As a lot of you know, we have to now sedate him during storms. Every year he gets crazier and crazier. I think with the new move and the baby on the way, he's gotten even crazier so he decided to start eating his tail. I took him to the vet this last week and the doctor knocked him out, gave him some shots, cleaned his tail and put this ridiculous cone on his head so he couldn't get to his tail. I just had to include a picture. When he's in the house, he runs into everything. It's pretty funny. Right now, its the only thing you'll see me laugh at....enjoy.
