Wee Wilson Tales

The night before we left for Atlantis, I couldn't sleep. It started with Jax having a nightmare, then the cramps started. My back was killing me and I soaked in a warm bath. I was up from 1:00 a.m. to 3:30 a.m. I thought I was getting a kidney infection so I downed about 6 glasses of water. I was still hurting the next morning as we were trying to leave at 7:00 to head to the airport. I didn't know what to do! About 15 minutes before we left, I passed a huge kidney stone! That was the end of the pain! Since I had one at 21 weeks with Jax, I knew what to expect. Last time, I didn't have any problems after I passed it. So I happily boarded the plane for our trip! We had a connecting flight in Charlotte. The flights weren't too rough on me, but I definitely lost my stomach (think roller coaster feeling) a lot! The second flight was the worst...bad turbulence, people screaming during some of the drops. I was NOT enjoying that! Then the lines through immigration were miserab...

Yesterday I had my 36 week check up. It didn't start well because the doctor was doing an emergency c-section, so he was 2 hours late. I'm not terribly excited at how the appointment went. First of all, I have an awful sinus infection. I've had it all weekend. And everytime I get a sinus infection, my blood pressure is a little elevated. So it was 130/90 . I've gained 8 lbs total . My sugar is still fine. But he wasn't happy about my blood pressure. I really didn't understand why he was so concerned because I wasn't put on bedrest with Jax until the bottom number was 100. But he also did my internal and felt of my belly and said "This baby is getting big !" He asked me if I was ready to stop work yesterday, and I said absolutely not! I assured him that my bp was only up due to the sinus pressure and not being able to breathe. So I asked him if I could still walk on the elliptical, and he said "not this week." He asked me if I had been c...

... When you could have Inspector Jax the Jerry-rigger - Definition: Jerry-rig - To put together in a way that works, but is contrary to the “norm” or specific directions (instructions); To fix or put together using non-standard or improvised materials; To fix an object to a working condition in a haphazard way. Jax has been such a big helper lately. I have to share some pictures of him hard at work . . . Helping with the remodeling by making sure the floors are level... Making sure the boxes are packed well... ....and thoroughly inspecting the inside of the boxes as well. Keeping a close eye on everything... Checking for ripeness of local watermelons... He is constantly folding clothes (or so he thinks). Watering the grass... Making sure Harlee Kate's car seat is safe... BABY BOY #2: I went to the doctor Friday. I was totally prepared for him to say that I had high blood pressure and no going to the Bahamas! But my bp was great. I...
