All we need is love.

The past month and a half has gone by a lot faster then I thought it would. I am so grateful to my Heavenly Father for all the love and support I have received from my friends and family. This pregnancy has not been super easy but it has been made so much better by all the wonderful people who have helped me and supported me. So Thank you kind friends for all you have done for me, I hope I can repay you someday.

Lets see If I can highlight some of the things that have gone on this past month....

Cousin Meredith made this awesome Diaper cake!

Amazing decorations and treats put together
 by Wahlstrom Cousins!

Eric's wonderful cousins threw me a super sweet baby shower end of June. It was so much fun. The decorations and treats were amazing. I am so grateful that I married into such a great family.

We had a fun time and I was grateful for my friends who came. It was so nice to see everyone.

Me at 35 weeks

 Right after the baby shower my doctor decided to give me some blood pressure medicine. the plus side to this... I was no longer forced to be in bed all day long. The bad side... it took me three or four days for my body to regulate to the medicine. Those few days were fun filled with headaches like you can't imagine, shaking, feeling like I was going to pass out and dizziness. BUT those days came and went and I started to feel a bit better. I still wasn't supposed to go out and party but I wasn't forced to be on a strict bed rest. My blood pressure seemed better for a while. But it was still not regulating. It would go up to 145/85 then go down to 126/70 an hour later. So I had to still rest. 

Me in the hospital getting a non stress test

I kept myself busy watching netflix, making cute hair pieces for baby and trying to organize the house. I also had some awesome friends come over and hang out with me. That made the days seem not so long and a lot more enjoyable. 

Since week 28 the doctor has met with me every week and giving me a non stress test to watch the baby and an "AFI" (amniotic fluid check) to make sure there is enough fluid.
The doctor has been watching me very carefully and for that I am so extremely grateful. I have been very blessed that everything with the baby has been great! She is active and well. 


Monday we met with the doctor again. I explained that my blood pressure is still going as high as 155/90 and it normally is about 130/80. So he decided to up my medicine some more in hopes that it will help. He also took some other tests and he decided to order me to go to high risk doctor on monday and get an amniocentesis test to see if the babies lungs are developed enough. He said that if they are then he is going to induce me next week! So we will see!
The change in the medicine hasn't seemed to do a whole lot. I still have headaches and I am dizzy. I will lay down for 3 hours and then get up to take my pressure and it will be 145/90. But we are watching it. And I am grateful the doctor is taking care of us.


As of last monday the doctor said the baby is already 6lbs and 9 ounces. And that was at 35 weeks. So she is growing well and all her NSTs are great. So awesome! 


So we will see what happens next week. Till then I am trying to keep busy but also rest. I am a little weak and dizzy but I am trying my best. Eric is taking great care of me and helping me do things I can't do like laundry and dishes. 
There is an end in sight! I can't wait to meet this cute little girl. I am glad Heavenly Father is helping us with everything and that things are falling into place.

36 weeks! My little giant is making herself at home in my tummy!

And to end this post I will show you my favorite pictures!
Saturday I decided I needed to get out of the house and Eric and I went to a Llama festival out in Spanish Fork. It was awesome!
