A little Update from the Page Family

Ok a long update from the Page Family. . .
I am now 36 weeks along. The past couple of weeks I have been showing signs of preeclampsia. About three weeks ago, the doctor found protein in my urine, and my blood pressure was a little high. The doctor thought that I might have a urinary tract infection and sent a test out to see. It came back normal, but was still concerned since I had this issue when I was pregnant with Kaden. My blood pressure has gone done in the past couple of weeks, but the protein in my urine has not gone away. Monday I had to go in and do some blood work and urine tests to determine if the preeclampsia was bad or progressing. I had to collect my urine for 24 hours to test it. It came back with over 350 mg of protein in my urine, which anything over 300 is considered for preeclampsia. However, my doctor is not too concerned since my blood pressure is good. On Friday, my blood pressure was only 110/78.

I have been have some contractions the past few weeks, and hoping that the baby will come sooner rather than later. I am feeling what Lynette was feeling with Kendall in the last part, and want nothing more to have this baby.

I have been an emotional wreck lately. I have been so exhausted, I can not wait until this baby comes, and it feels like the days are going by so slow. It doesn’t help that all I want to do is sleep, and my poor children probably feel like they have a walking zombie for a mom right now.

Justin has decided to go back to school. He is still deciding what he wants to do for sure, but is leaning heavily towards a career in the medical field. He is looking at either a anesthesiology assistant or a physical therapist, both of which takes six years of schooling. I never thought I would I would see him go back to school, but I am excited for him that he has finally made a decision as to what he would like to do. I don’t think Justin was ready before now, but he wishes that he would have gone to school ten years ago. You live you learn, and there is nothing we can do to change the past, but we can look forward to the future. It will be a long hard road for us, but it will be worth it in the end.

Kaden and Kaleb are doing fine. Kaden is doing really well in soccer, and is having a great time. He gets so excited when he scores a goal, and tries really hard to defend the goal. If the other team takes the ball he will run all the way down to the other side of the field to defend the goal so that they don’t score. He gets the most excited when he scores though. You can see his little face light up and he is so proud of himself. Kaleb is finally starting to talk a little bit more. He is finally trying to sound out words, and has been saying a lot more lately. I tried to potty train him a few weeks ago, but to no luck. He didn’t even want to try and sit on the toilet. I tried to get Kaden to show him how, but Kaleb still wanted nothing to do with it. I guess we will try when things calm down here, after the baby is born.

One last thing, if anyone knows of anyone that is getting rid of 0-6 months boys clothes for more winter wear, I am in desperate need. I don’t know what happened to all my baby clothes but I only have a few things. Anything would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, love you all and miss you terribly.
