Brett, Jill, Brayden & Sienna: What a weekend...

We had this weekend all planned out, fun activities with friends, day and night. This way we didn't sit home and wonder, "boy or girl?"...

Friday morning started out unexpectedly early. At 4pm, I woke up not feeling well. After a few minutes of being up, I passed out and fell face first to wake up to a bleeding nose, not knowing what happened. At 8am, when we called my doctor she ordered me straight to the ER. Within minutes Grammy was here and Brett and I were off! They ruled out any "unusual" complications and said it was due to extremely low blood pressure (which I have been dealing with for the past month), low potassium, low iron and possible heart murmur (cardiologist appointment tomorrow). Overall, it was nothing that is not a "common pregnancy symptom", the symptoms just happened to be a little more extreme. Needless to say, we cancelled our plans that night and rested.

Saturday was a much better! We woke up, had a fabulous breakfast (bacon, eggs, waffles...). Got ready and had a fun day at the zoo with our friends! Then took a nap and woke up to go to dinner at our other friends home, while Brayden played at Grammy & Bebo's! We picked up Brayden later that night, he was very upbeat and was not ready to leave and go home.

Sunday we woke up for another fun-filled day (plans w/ friends for lunch & the fair in the afternoon). However, I volunteered in the nursery at church that morning and pretty much spent the whole service rocking Bray in the rocking chair. He did not want to let go of my neck. Brett came to get us after the service and Brayden finally released from my neck, ran to his arms exclaiming, "Dada!" and smiling. Right outside of the nursery, Brayden's breakfast was all over the church carpet and Brett. First time our little guy had ever thrown up... :( Plans cancelled again, and we were home to rest. His temperature was 101 and he was pretty snuggly all day, with small spurts of playfulness. Ending the day, his temp is down to 100 and he is tolerating food much better.

Brett has been amazing all weekend, taking care of my on Friday and then helping to take care of Brayden today. Even above and beyond with a little laundry, some vacuuming, cleaning, etc.! Here are some pictures from our one day (Saturday) that we were able to enjoy the weekend!
