The end of 36 weeks and Z's nursery

Well I was about done with Z's nursery until I was put on bed rest on Tuesday because I had really high blood pressure. 158/102 OUCH! My Dr sent me to the hospital thinking that he was going to have to deliver me but I ended up being okay. However they put me on strict bed rest until I have Z. I gained 7 pounds in 4 days which was a double ouch. I haven't gained that much in a while. Plus I haven't gained anything in over a month minus last week which was a gain of a pound and a half. My mom came out Wed and Thurs to help with the kids. DH took off Tuesday to help settle me in. He also is off as of Friday until around Nov 4th~!! YIPPY! I just wish I wasn't on bed rest. There is so much that we could get done tag teaming it. lol!! Thank the lord my mom was able to come and help otherwise I would have been in trouble. Even if my kids stressed her out to the max. She is suppose to come again this week but we will see. She might change her mind.

We have the hospital bag packed. We just happened to have it packed Monday night, so on Tuesday when the Dr sent me to the hospital, Dan was ready with the bag. The only other thing we need now is just a new robe and slippers for myself. I really don't want to wear my really nice one DH got me.... I don't want it to get ruined. Otherwise everything is ready in the bag. There are a few things I wish I could do before Z is born like make a wall shelf, put up a hat rack (which DH might go get tomorrow) and order this shark thing... but that might have to wait. Just have to make sure things stay nice and clean. DH really deep cleaned last weekend and did that so we just had to dust, vacuum and do daily cleaning stuff before Z gets here.

Everyone thinks that I am not going to last another week, but we will see. Finished Livi's tutu for Halloween. She is going to be a witch. I will be working on Tatum's this week. I have to take back some tulle because stupid Hobby Lobby over charged me AGAIN.... A Holes. All the fall/Halloween stuff is up around the house. Has been now for a few weeks. DH just has to put his up outside which he worked on today. He had to over-seed the yard and worked on getting his stuff put up today. It should also be done tomorrow. He is trying to get everything done this weekend so he can rest the rest of the week and we can enjoy our last few days together. tomorrow will be the first time in awhile that DH get to sit down and watch a Card's game together. That is exciting for me, and I think he is pretty excited about it too.

DH also went garage sale hopping today and found me a pretty nice elliptical for 20.00. He was so excited about what a great deal it was he could hardly contain himself. That made me feel good. Even if I can't use it for a few months. At least I have something to look forward to....well that and holding my new son. Got a few other things done last week... just not enough to satisfy me. But I don't know if I would ever be satisfied at this point. I am constantly giving myself new projects.

My oldest Javi got principle's honor roll again. So proud of him. He is so stinking smart. I didn't get to go to his assembly but DH and my mom went. I was there in spirit. DH took pics :) I go back into the Dr's again Monday for a Ultrasound and a NST. Originally it was suppose to be just a U/S but now because of the high BP they want me there more often and doing more tests. I do know that I am 2 cms and 70 percent effaced. So it will be interesting to see if I have progressed even more in a few days.

Above are the pictures of Z's nursery almost done. Of coarse like I said I still need to add a few things but I am okay with it. The pictures above the changing table will be of each one of my kiddos with baby Z. I was thinking of putting reserved for Zander and so and so for each child but thought that might be a waste since he will be gere soon. Also a picture of me today. End of my 36 weeks as of tomorrow. ENJOY
