Super Dad

Today at Morgan's school they had "Dads and Donuts". All dad's were invited to go to the school and eat and read a book with their child. Morgan has been looking forward to it all week. Every day she has said she can't wait for Friday. Steve was able to make arrangements to go into work late and take her. I was "resting" in bed after doing Morgan's hair and helping her get ready to go, so I asked Steve to bring the camera upstairs. Here is a picture before they left. Steve asked Morgan if since he was the dad, did that make Morgan the doughnut?

To continue on with the super dad theme, I have to talk about the past week and how amazing Steve has been. On Tuesday when I went to the doctor my blood pressure had jumped ALOT! Like almost 40 pts in one week. The doctor was obviously concerned and he told me that I needed to rest, stay off my feet and try and get my BP under control. If I don't do this the doc said he would stick me in the hospital on bed rest. So after talking to Steve, Koby & Morgan and my boss we came up with a plan. I am working fewer hours at my job, not lifting anything and resting as much as I can. Steve and Koby have taken over all the cooking, cleaning, lifting etc. I felt guilty about just laying around being lazy and making them do it but I know that I have to do this and I keep reminding myself that it's temporary. I am so grateful to my wonderful husband and children who have shown so much love for me.

So if you have any great advise for quickly lowering your BP during pregnancy I would love to hear it!
