High Blood Pressure and Kankles!

Stay tuned for a video from Marleigh. For some reason, it will not upload. I have tried twice. So check back later-hopefully, it will work.

Update on Pregnancy- Well, I have started swelling this past Monday. When I woke up Monday morning, all was well. But by the time I got home, I no longer had ankles-I had kankles. (For those who don't know-this is when your calf muscles go straight into your ankles with no curve at all. Your ankles are the same size as your calves.) The only time my ankles are normal is when I first get up in the morning. By 9:00 am, yes-kankles!

I went to the doctor today and my blood pressure was up, as well. This alarmed him due to my swelling. I have to go back next Thursday. He said that if my blood pressure was still high, he was taking me off of work. PLEASE PRAY that my swelling and my blood pressure goes down. I also asked the doctor if he thought I would make it another 5 weeks. He looked at me and just shook his head, "NO!" He said he wants to at least get me to week 37, which is only 2 weeks away. I am so nervous! He wants me to keep my feet up, but I have children to teach, laundry to do, supper to fix, and a nursery to finish! I know that it will all get done-I am just so anal and controlling. I feel so helpless, if I am not in control. This is where God comes in to help me with this interstruggle. Please pray that I can let go of all of the stresses of a mother, wife, teacher, and maid-so that I can prop my feet up to help the swelling.

Well-Hope all is well with you out there! Have a great and blessed week.

Until next time-Live, Laugh, Love
