So I realize that is has been a very long time since I've posted a blog. But we have had nothing new and excited to report... The holidays were great, we saw all of our families and a lot of our friends...we really are blessed.
So as for our little guy and the pregnancy it has thrown us for a loop recently as I am now on bed-rest. It will only be for another week and a half at the most, but still not very much fun as I am wanting to nest, and Matt just can't understand some of the dumb stuff I want done before the baby arrives.
The baby is very healthy, it's just that a week ago I became very, very dehydrated and ended up in the hospital for IV fluids but was released later that night and that's when they discovered that I may be showing some signs of early preeclampsia. Very mild form but to protect the baby I am resting and keeping my feet up until I am officially 38 weeks (next week) and if he hasn't already arrived I will be induced. We were ready to induce this week as that is the normal routine in this situation but since I have very normal to low blood pressure we decided it's not hurting anyone to wait another week and see if he comes on his own.
Matt and I are getting very anxious to meet him and share the good news with you all!! We'll keep you updated as things progress.

Kari... you poor thing!! I know you want to be up and doing things, but you need your rest. Good luck sweetie. I will be thinking of you the WHOLE time!!!
Oh my gosh! Poor girl..you just get your rest and stay healthy! I can't believe the time is here already! That is so exciting. I have your Christmas card sitting here, as I need your address. I also have a little gift for your little man, so if you can send me your address sometime when you get a chance, that would be great! Rest up and he will be here before you know it. Wishing you a happy and healthy next week or so. We'll be thinking of you!!!
Hey guys! Thinking of you! I had Brody at 37 weeks and 5 days. You never know when they will make their entrance! It sounds like you are going to be close to that as well. Rest up, and we can't wait to hear the exciting news! Travis, Sarah, and Brody
Just checking in on you -- do you have a son yet?
