Alexis's First Photo Shoot

Alexis had her first photo shoot last Wednesday at 20 weeks. You can see her eyes, nose, mouth and even her hand.

I had to leave work again on Monday because of extremely high blood pressure. When I first got there they were talking preeclampsia and bed rest IN the hospital for the duration of my pregnancy. I was beyond scared! All I could think about was Aunt Kim and my two younger cousins being born at 26 weeks. But, the have ruled out preeclampsia for now and have diagnosed me with Chronic Blood Pressure, hopefully caused by the pregnancy. This is also scary since I've never had BP problems before, but it is better than the extreme. I am now on BP medicine and on bed rest for the rest of the week. We are praying that this does not turn into preeclampsia and now I'm going to both the specialist and my regular OB every two and four weeks.

Please, Alexis, keep cooking. There are tons of people who can't wait to meet you, but we aren't ready yet.

Thanks for all the prayers and please keep them coming!!
