Our 2nd Anniversary

So we celebrated our 2nd anniversary on Mon, August 4th!! We started the day off, with a visit to my OB(what a way huh?) They weighed me and took my blood pressure, which was too high, so they had me lay down on my left side for a few minutes then they took it again, and it went right down. So Dr. Kinghorn came in and told me I need to keep it real low key, she put me on modified bed rest, so the very few last things I was allowed to do, are no more. I get up to eat, and make sure my feet still work other than that I'm on my left side keeping my blood pressure down. She suspects I have mild toxemia, so she ordered tests for it. I get to collect my urine for 24 hours, and have some blood tests done, then they'll know more. Elizabeth's activity has been way down lately, so she changed my non stress tests to twice a week. I kinda feel like I should just pitch a tent at St. Marks!! Jk. Anywho, after that delightful visit, we drove up to Park City for my last big thing before lying around like a little beached whale all the time. We went to the outlet malls, and got lots of stuff for our daughter, who is almost assuredly going to come early and be really little, and therefore had 2 outfits to wear(as we weren't planning on buying newborn size clothes)Now she has plenty of way cute stuff that should last her til she gets big enough to fit into her 0-3 month clothes. Tony is such a cute dad already!!! This little girl is going to be the biggest daddy's girl ever!!(and that's coming from the previous biggest daddy's girl!) most of her clothes have "daddy" on them somewhere, or butterflies(as she's Tony's little butterfly) I think he was having almost as much fun as I was!! I got a couple of maternity shirts, and he got a pair of khaki shorts from Old Navy kinda by default, as the zipper busted on the pair he was wearing :) After our shopping trip, we went and saw the movie Hancock, and then went to The Olive Garden for dinner. We stopped by Wal-Mart on the way home and got cookies and ice cream. When we got home, he had made a 2nd anniversary video. He is sooooo sweet!!! I feel bad this anniversary wasn't as "romantic" as it could have been, but it was so nice to just be able to spend time alone together, enjoying each other's company, without worrying about anything but having a good time together. Life's kinda got away from us, what with the pregnancy complications and worries, and the huge rushed remodel, and preparing to be parents, we haven't had a heck of alot of time to enjoy each other, without feeling guilty about not getting things done we need to. All in all it was a fabulous day, and I love Tony so very very much!!! He is the most amazing man, and he is soooooo good to me, I'm so blessed he's mine forever!!!
