My Amazing Christmas Decorations 2019

I had the best Christmas decorations this year. I really loved them. What's interesting is there are a lot of decorations I didn't even put out. But the ones I did, I love ❤️❤️🌲❤️❤️

I bought a small tree for the buffet, to continue Grandmom's tradition. I put out all of our White House ornaments. 
I got a $1 real pine Garland on Christmas Eve (a sale!) And Tom and I put it over this walkthrough
Liam's elf did some decorating one night with snowflakes. In a weird coincidence, that same week I offered extra credit to my students who made snowflakes. Anyway I loved this addition! 

My tree had minimal ornaments this year.aybe 1/3 of what I have in the box. I liked it that way! 
I did just a few knock knacks on surfaces. Snowmen, trees and white reindeer.

My meds, my experience and my faith 💗

I resumed it at 19 weeks to get to help my SCH heal  *I take additional magnesium to calm my ...

Celebrating 32 Weeks... with a DVT!!

Well this week has been ... Interesting. On Monday I noticed my arm hurt at my previous IV site. It was sore and also intensely painful right at the IV site. So I just waited it out and observed... Overnight the pain woke me up twice! In the morning I knew I had to be seen. I went to urgent care. They ordered an ultrasound. The ultrasound showed too blood clots--one in my brachial vein and one in my subclavian vein (a DVT!).  They had me go to the ER. So I went to Frederick. They sent me home with increased dosages of Lovenox, 80 mg twice a day.  Starting the next day I had groin pain. And by Thursday I was dizzy. Soooo back to urgent care I went. They did an ultrasound and a CT scan and blood test. I'm anemic, but nothing was wrong. Whew! All I needed to do was 20 minutes on the monitor with baby before I left. Well... I started having contractions. They're my usual evening contractions but they alarmed the midwife enough that she wanted to keep me and give me more IV fluids....
