Bed Rest

I went to the doctor to day for my 34 week check up and my blood pressure was pretty high again, 151 over 94. So, of course I was once again put on bed rest. This is the exact same time it happened last time with Kyle. I am not looking forward to it at all. I will follow all the rules and do exactly what my Doc says, but bed rest is not easy. And it certainly isn't gonna be good with Kyle. I feel bad I will not be able to mess with him much. If my blood pressure is not improved in 2 weeks with bed rest I guess we will have another little guy at our house a few weeks early. That means we need to name the little guy soon! I will keep everyone posted!

Circus of Dreams

The Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey Circus of Dreams. Well not for an 18 month old. I knew he would be antsy and not pay full attention, heck I can't even pay full attention at places like that. Way to much other stuff to look at! But dang, I had NO idea the circus would last 2 HOURS!!!!, plus the hour to get in and take the "Animal open house" to see the elephants and such up close. So, he had fun for about the first 45 minutes of the actual circus, playing with the probably $100 worth of junk and candy his daddy bought him. Then they announced the intermission, which I mistakenly thought was a good idea. We took him up top to run around for a few minutes to let out some energy, and it was all over with then, he DID NOT want to sit back down in his seat again. Which again I can understand, so we left. No big deal, I was still happy we went because it was cool to see him excited even if it was only for a few minutes!
He could not stuff that cotton candy in his face fast enough! I guess that's what I get for not giving him sugar all the time! I'm a Bad momma!
On a side note, not to be to negative, I was actually a little disappointed in the circus myself. Now I know it is for the kids and all, but it was BORING. I thought the circus was a continuous upbeat chaotic mess that was hard to watch because so much was going on, but no it was slow and not a lot of action. But who am I to judge, I'm not gonna go join the circus and make it better!
