This morning when I woke up I thought for sure we were going to have a Christmas baby. My hands and feet were VERY swollen and so was my face. The only thing I could think of was that my blood pressure had shot up over night and I was going to have to be induced.

I sat on the couch for a few minutes and ate something hoping that maybe the swelling would just go down. When it didn't I decided I should probably go to Hy-Vee and take my blood pressure. It, of course was normal. 144/66. I guess in the grand scheme of things for me that is high but it was not in the range of hypertension on their little chart so I decided I must have just over done it yesterday.

When I got home Jake and I watched, oh I can't remember the name of it right now, the movie where they have to leave the dogs in the arctic and he spends the entire rest of the movie trying to get back to them. Anyhow, that is probably not a good movie to let a hormonal pregnant woman watch. I made it through it but there were more than a few tears shed.

After that Jake and I went to our friends house to exchange Christmas presents. When we registered for our baby registry Jake put a giant stuffed Batman doll on the registry. So, Danette had purchased that doll. She put it and a sportsman's gift card in one box and told Jake he had to decide which gift was his and which was the baby's.

According to Jake the baby will be shopping at Sportsman's.

Around 6:00 we left their house and headed over to his mom's house to do Christmas with her. She fixed a really nice dinner and we had a good time but by 9:00 I was once again just wiped out. Since Jake had made friends with the Black Velvet he was also ready to hit the sack so we headed home early.
