Lately, we have been really busy with family in town and a whirlwind of activity that goes along with that. I was able to take a couple days of vacation time, which was really nice, although not so relaxing cause we were on the go pretty consisitently.
Frank started his new position this week, so he's stressing about that a little, which is to be expected with anything new and challenging. We're very happy about this change, but like anything else, it will take a period of adjustment.
I've been feeling a lot more sluggish lately, with my growing belly and decreasing energy levels. I had a weird feeling my blood pressure might be elevated, and sure enough, when I saw the doctor today, he confirmed it. It's not too high that they are concerned right now. It just needs to be monitored, so it doesn't skyrocket or anything. This happened towards the end of my pregnancy with Jacob, but he wasn't affected and it never reached a level where I needed hospitalization or anything, so hopefully this is just one of those things that will pass without causing any concern for myself or the baby. My strategy at this point is to just slow myself down a bit more, so I don't get too worked up about things.
We're hoping to get the 3rd bedroom painted this weekend, so we can move Jacob in and get him adjusted before the baby arrives...only 8 weeks until he's due!

i can't believe your due date is so close! i'm sorry to hear you've been feeling "sluggish" lately, that's no fun. kinda goes with the "pregnancy package" though. ;-) if you ever need a break...the boys and i would be happy to have jacob over for a day to play! it would give you a chance to relax or get things done! ;-)
Your pregnancy has gone by so fast (at least for me!). How exciting that you are getting the "big boy room" ready!!! I echo Steph's offer. I am home the majority of the days of the week and would be happy to watch Jacob for you (or a Saturday too). Josiah would love a playmate. :-)
