Hospitals, Houses and (almost) Halloween

I have been so sick lately. Like all I want to do is crawl up in bed and sleep.  Oh boy I forgot how bad morning sickness is! It's been 2 years since I had to endure it with Sadie. Yuck. I feel awful!

And I feel even worse for Sadie! She hasn't been getting the attention she needs. Hopefully this will only last a little while longer. 

Jake is sick. He was taken to the ER from work a couple weeks ago and they had diagnosed him with vertigo and high blood pressure. They gave him Dramamine and sent him home.  Well, upon a visit to his regular doctor, his blood  pressure is so high it caused the symptoms of the vertigo. So no vertigo. Just really high blood pressure. He has had to have blood work done and found out he has a low blood platelet count. He's currently on medication for the blood pressure, but as of right now that's all we can do for him. The doctor doesn't want him to exercise for fear of stroke! Just what we need... 

So, we have been looking at getting a house in Tooele to be closer to the kids.  So far, it looks more like we're going to buy one rather than not.  It's just all around a good idea for us. We'll be delivering this baby in Salt Lake, so I would much rather be 30 minutes away from the hospital rather than 3 hours and 30 minutes!! Plus it puts us closer to my family as well. 

There's a lot of things for us to consider before we make any final decisions about moving, but as of right now, the possibility is good. 

We get the kids this weekend!! Yay! I'm so excited we have so many fun things planned!!! I am driving to Wendover tomorrow to pick them up and then I'll bring them back to Elko. Gosh, I sure miss those guys! I can only imagine how Jake feels.  We might be able to go trick or treating with them this year too! Jake has it off, so we might be able to make it work! 

Anyway, that's what we've been up to lately. Exciting I know. Haha.

Vertigo?

So.  I go to work on Sunday night and everything seems to be goin' fine, and then BAM!!! Outta nowhere starts the spinning, and swirling and nausea and vomiting.. Yeah, that was dumb. So I was taken to the ambulance where they took my vitals and my blood pressure was 162/110! This was it. The pivotal moment. They are going to take me to the ER. I called Rissa. Mind you it was 10:15 at night. She found a babysitter for Sadie and met me at the hospital.  After waiting for like 12 hours, I finally got called back. "Jacob" the nurse called.  "yeah?" I replied. I DID NOT want to get up. She offered me a wheelchair and I kindly refused.  After we made it back to the room, she took my vitals again, and asked me a whole bunch of questions.. Then she brought us some water and left.  It took like 45 minutes for the doctor to come in! When he did he asked me what was going on. I told him and he diagnosed me with vertigo and high blood pressure. It took like 2 minutes. Then another 20 for the nurse to come back in and give me medication. Then they sent us home. 

Vertigo. Who gets Vertigo??

On a lighter note, Its going to be Halloween! We are so excited! Sadie is going to be a little bumblebee princess. Rissa is making her costume. 

Well that's it for today.
