180
My doctors appointment today went totally different than last week. My blood pressure was 30 numbers lower than last week. Needless to say we won't be induced any time soon. Thanks for all of your thoughts and prayers. I guess the bed rest is working.

He Remembers Us
I just wanted to share an experience I had yesterday that helped me remember that Heavenly Father knows me and is watching out for me. I went to the Doctor yesterday and was told my blood pressure was high and that they wanted to deliver me soon. My Doctor was leaving for vacation though so he couldn't induce me yesterday. He wanted me to see his associate this Monday so that the associate could see if I still needed to be induced or if I could wait until the 27th when my Doctor comes back. He also put me on bed rest.
Needless to say I was in shock. I wasn't emotionally prepared to have the baby so soon and by a different doctor. I kept a happy face while at the appointment but once I reached the door I broke down. I tried to call Cole but he was in training in a building that doesn't get phone reception. I then called my Mom. Luckily she answered. I cried my eyes out to her and she helped comfort me. I was so glad she was available. I then went home.
I was still quite worried. Then, by very odd coincidence the only person I know that sees the Doctor that I will be seeing on Monday called me. I was able to ask her about him and felt a lot better about the possibility of him delivering my baby. I then tried to take a nap so I wouldn't worry myself to death. A few hours later a girl in my ward invited me to come hang out at her house with another girl that just had a baby. What a blessing she called because I really needed to get out and to have some "girl" time. The girl that just had a baby also sees the doctor I will be seeing Monday. She made me feel even better about the possibility he might deliver me.
The last thing that happened was that the day before all of this happened we finally got our crib from the lady that was giving it to us (it has taken her 4 months to give it to us). This has really been stressing me out. I was so grateful that before all of this happened we got the crib. I think that I would have had a panic attack at the thought of having my baby without knowing that there was a crib at home ready for her.
I was so grateful Heavenly Father timed all of these things to help me deal with the news I got yesterday. Too many things happened to call it coincidence. He knew what I needed and sent people my way to help me. I am also grateful for the people that listened to the promptings to do the things they did that helped me yesterday. You truly never know when you are answering someones prayers. I am so thankful for all the people that answered mine. I am feeling a lot better now and am over the shock and am just excited.

Bows
One of my friends from my old ward found this site to show you how to make headbands and bows. It is really fun and not too hard. http://bowdesigns.50webs.com/index.html Just click on the titles at the top and it will show you step by step directions. One of my favorites is the pinwheel. 
I made the interchangeable headband and then the bows separate. You just put clips on the bows to attach them to the headband. Then you can switch them out and continue to use the bows as the baby gets bigger (by making a bigger headband or wearing them as a bow not headband). Mine aren't that spectacular but it has been fun making them.

The people we bought our house from are really nice. They left us some fun surprises. In the fridge they left some sparkling cider and glasses for us to celebrate with (they're LDS too). We were so excited when the house closed so we could officially celebrate and drink our cider. We each made a toast and had fun celebrating and being silly.
I haven't put pictures in all of the frames yet because some of them are reserved for the baby.

Finally...Home Sweet Home
We purchased our first home. We are soooo excited. We actually moved in a week ago. It is so nice to be in it finally. It has been a long process but in the end we got a great deal and a great home. It is 3 bdr 2.5 bath. It feels like a mansion to us. I am so glad to be in it before the baby gets here. Cole has been just wonderful. He moved us all on his own due to the fact that I am pregnant. He never complained and even when he was tired he would still offer to do even more to help out. My favorite was when I would say I was tired and my back hurt. He would then say his hurt too but then proceed to offer to rub my back. Isn't he the best!! I am so blessed he is mine. I will post pictures of the house soon...when it is a little more put together.

Home Improvement
Cole and I have recently done some fun home improvement projects. Our favorite was our headboard. We designed and shopped for it together. Cole, of course, built it. Luckily he didn't build it in my kitchen. 
We really like the way it turned out but the stain is a little darker than we thought it would be. It is really fun to be able to say we did it ourselves. Now Cole wants to make and redo everything we have. It's nice having such a handy husband.
We recently finished our child birth education classes. We learned a lot but are glad to be done. We did 6 classes that were 2.5 hrs each. Cole also did a separate Daddy Boot Camp class so we could get a free car seat. It's a really nice one and now we have two. One infant seat and a convertible seat. I went to the doctor yesterday and had my strep test and my first examination. I am dilated to a 1-2 and am 50% effaced. I am excited about the thought of not being pregnant anymore but am nervous about all the work that is ahead once she is here. I hope I'm up for it and will be able to figure it out.
