As you all know, at Wednesday's appointment, my blood pressure had risen and Dr. Wyatt was a bit concerned. He put me on 24 hour bed rest and we saw him again yesterday. At yesterday's appointment my blood pressure was still high and that I might have pregnancy induced hypertension and was developing pre-eclampsia. He made the decision that we should induce labor and walked us over to labor and delivery. I know it sounds … [Read more...]
Doctors Orders = Bed Rest
May 25, 2011 By Leave a Comment
At today's doctor's appointment, the doctor noticed that my blood pressure had risen since last week. He felt I needed to rest and stay in bed for the next 24 hours. We have to see him again tomorrow to see if it stabilized, and if it doesn't, he thinks we might have to induce labor. Ahh, the little one really is coming soon but I hope it can stay in for another few days so I can finish up with work (as an accountant, I'd like … [Read more...]
MGA Brunch
May 15, 2011 By Leave a Comment
My hula sisters planned a brunch get-together at El Torito today to celebrate the end of another year with the halau. Actually, I'm sure they planned this brunch because they wanted another excuse to drag our husbands/boyfriends to all hang out together and because El Torito has bottomless mimosas (don't worry, only orange juice and water for me). It was so much fun seeing everyone again since I don't get to dance with them … [Read more...]

It is finally May! Even though I am due May 30th, so technically I could have this baby in June, it's still crazy to say that I could have this baby THIS month. Wow! This week we are getting together some of the last things for the baby and I, installing the car seat and packing the hospital bag. Everything is feeling a bit more real as we approach the final countdown. I still can't believe the clothes and towels … [Read more...]
A SURPRISE Baby Shower…
April 17, 2011 By Leave a Comment
It is really hard to surprise me, really hard. Ask Lucas or my parents, anytime around my birthday or Christmas the snooping and the questions start. There are two ways I find out what people are getting me, I either find out with my snooping, or I question them to death that they finally give in and tell me what they got me. Hahaha. I know its not one of my greatest qualities, but I can't help it; I need to know what is … [Read more...]
My Baby Shower!!!
April 10, 2011 By Leave a Comment
I am blessed with some amazing friends and family! First off, my baby shower could not have happened without one of my closest friends, Jill Weglarz. One of the first things she said to me when she found out that I was pregnant was, "Can I throw you a baby shower?" She was so unbelievably thoughtful to host the beautiful brunch we had at Shanghai Reds. Everything from the invitations, that were designed by another close … [Read more...]
Maternity Photos

If there was one thing my family is known for, it would be pictures. Just the sheer volume of pictures my parents have of our family and my brother and I growing up is astonishing. So one of the first things Lucas and I knew when we found out we were pregnant is that this baby would have a well-documented life. We decided why wait till the baby came, why not start before when the baby was still in me! We are so excited to work … [Read more...]
