Almost home....




Well our visit to Tx has been a good one and allowed me to get some much needed physical help. Since the moment we got here....I have been steadly declining on how good I feel. I felt great at this point with Kenna....not so much this time. I am tired, back is killing me, I have pains everywhere, can't stand up for longer than 10 minutes, can't walk for more than a black, can't pick up Kenna without feeling like I am ripping something....and after a trip to the ER....I found out I have a Urinary Tract Infection and I am borderline preacclampsia. I have had high blood pressure for at least the past two weeks....but I am hoping it was due to the infection. The hospital wanted to admit me....but I didn't want to! haha!! My Dr in North Dakota has put me on bed rest...haha yeah right with a 14 month old!!!! I will try to do what I can....although it will be hard when we get back home and it is just me all day. After we get home, the next morning Kenna gets off her cast and I have an utlrasound to determine the size of baby Konner and see if the due date needs to be adjusted. Everyone I see things I am due now. If I hear one more comment about me having twins or triplets.....I think I will puke!!! haha!

Christmas was good and Santa spoiled us of course. It will be a Christmas miracle in itself if we get everything home!!!! Keith and I have been to 4 movies which is more than we have seen the whole time in N.D. It has been nice. Kenna learned to walk on her cast after only having it on for a week and a half. What a mover & a shaker!!

Poor Kenna!!



Well...Sunday turned out to be more eventful than we had planned for it to be. We had planned on getting Kenna up from her nap and then going to bible study. Well that wasn't the case. Keith got her up from her nap...and the poor guy was changing her diaper....took two steps to put it in the diaper pail....and Kenna had rolled off the changing table. The bottom drawer of the dresser was out, and she got her leg caught on it!! Needless to say, we spent the evening in the ER and Kenna came home with a cast on her leg. She broke her left tibia.....poor thing. I cried all Sunday night and all Monday morning...because it broke my heart!! She is sooo active and she can't do any of the things she loves!!! So......we will spend all of Christmas and our time in TX with a cast....but I guess we will all survive!! Then after all that....she had to get her 2nd round of the flu shot yesterday along with her Hepatitis A shot....and then she has to go with me to my OB/GYN appoint tomorrow....and she has another appointment with the orthopedic surgeon on Thursday. All that is after going to the Dr last week and getting put on antibiotics for ear infections!! When it rains, it pours, huh!?? SHe is tough....way tougher than I!!
