Update

Heard from the nuerogolist this week.  He said that he doesn't believe that I have a blood clot or the intracrianial hypertension.  Good right. 

Now I just got a call from the OB saying that I have to go back on the blood thinners because I could have a resolving clot.  GRRRRRRR.  Does any one now what's going on.  My  induction for labor has been scheduled for May 7th.  Little girl has been severed with papers to get out.  We will see if I make it that long.  Feeling fustared with my doctors right now.  Praying everything goes well.

Update

So I got to go and see the neurologist today.  Which was good.  He said that the way things look as of now he's not 100% sure that I really have a blood clot.  He thinks it may be a benign intracranial hypertension.  Which means that I could have too much spinal fluid which is putting to much pressure on my optic nerve which is causing the headache. 

So it's more tests and some more waiting.  It a waiting game to see which one pans out.  Lets hope its not a blood clot. Fingers crossed and waiting. More to follow next week after I have more tests.  And yes, baby girl is doing great. :-)

Getting up to speed.

Okay so it's been awhile since I have blogged.  But  things went for nice and easy to pretty crazy here in the Rademacher house.

At the end of February I was put on bed rest for the fear of going into pre-term labor.  That was fun.  NOT. 

Then in the middle of March I came down the a really bad migraine and wasn't able to move my neck or head.  I couldn't even sit up.  So after going to the hospital here in Elizabeth City and them sending me home with what they thought was a twisted nerve. Well I wasn't getting any better over the next twenty four hrs.  I finally decide that I would go to the hospital in Norfolk. There after another long night. They did an MRI and found a blood clot on the back of my brain. Crazy.  So add blood clot and being thirty one weeks pregnant life has been turned up side down.

Thank goodness my mom was able to come out and help for two week.  What would we have done without our GG.  I'm home and taking it one day at a time.  Each day is different and never the same.  I have good days and bad days.  Now we are getting close Rebecca's birth life is just a little  bit more crazy.  We have to be very careful on how I deliver her as not to put the blood clot under any stress. 

Other wise we are all doing great. Adjusting to life with this crazy and unreal thing going on. 

It's a .....

We are super excited to announce that the Rademacher family will be adding a little girl to our family in May of 2011.  Everyone from mommy and daddy down to the boys are happy to be adding a little girl in.

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas and  a Happy New Year from our family to yours.

Snow Snow Snow

It snowed  and snowed  and snowed  here the day after Christmas.  We got a white day after Christmas and let me tell you the boys loved it.  This was the third snow fall this December.  The other two times it snowed but there wasn't really enough snow for the boys to play in,  Lots for Mommy to slip but not to play in.  So there we are three days after the snow started and still have a large amount of snow.  It snowed between 4 to 6 inches of snow.  The boys played in the snow three different times the first day and Red helped them to build a sledding hill on the front porch.  Now the boys just want to go sledding down the front steps of the house.

Baxter and the boys

We got the new kitten Baxter a few months ago and the boys love him.  He plays with them and sometimes will even nap with them if they get to watch a movie which we have been doing a lot of since its Christmas break.  Baxter loves to lay on blankets so we caught this cute moment on camera.
