I GOT A BP CUFF + STETHOSCOPE!!! || I learned how to use it + OFFICIAL BLOG DESIGN!

GUYYYSSS!!!
I got a blood pressure cuff and stethoscope and learned how to use it and i loveeeeee it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The night I got it David was over, and so he taught me how to use it!! I took everyone's blood pressure and it was great and now I'm the pro at it!!!! ( not to brag ;DD) It's a bright pink and I soo wish that I could've found an aqua one, but it's okay. I love it, and it's actually a good step to being a midwife!!! Here, this'll explain that a tad more..I memorized this. xD
Check her weight
Her blood pressure
Edema (swelling)
Check fetal heart rate
Kicking and fetal movement
Uterus size and measurements
Palpation (uhh, something..? ) :|

LOL, so I didn't have it completely memorized i guess xD
Anyways, that's what you would do at a prenatal. (I've went to a looottt of those with my Mom. :))

Oh, pictures! YUP YUP! They're comin'.

making memories in St. Louis || May 14, 2017

Okay wowowowow where do I even start?????

From my journal-May 14, 2017
-So today was super duper filled up and busy-but a very awesome busy!!!
We got up at 8 (and my face and arms were covered with hives from accidentally eating corn) (it was so awful) and got ready to go! Dada was in a 'Get ready, we're going on an adventure!' mood! We left at 9 and around 2:00 we were 20 mins from the zoo, and traffic came to a stand still. Joshua prayed, and about 10 mins later we were moving again!
Really half the time is getting there, and the other half is finding a parking space. (St. Louis is like that :l) We ended up paying, but it was a good spot close to the zoo, so we were thankful!
The zoo was AH-MAZING!!! So many animals that took my breath away. (ESPECIALLY THE FLAMINGOS OMW!!)
We saw elephants (more on them in another post :)) hyenas, lions, penguins, polar bears, and so many others! it was so great!
Then we went to Illinois and touched the Mississippi river and saw the arch! I was really hoping to touch it because I haven't been able to in all the times I've been there, but it was all fenced off. :( Oh well, there will be another time. :)
It was awesome and wonderful and amazing to see everything again! And we made the bestest memories!!
We ate at Culvers for dinner, and now I finally have 10 scoopie tokens to get a volleyball! (hehe, nerd here) So next time we got to Culvers Imma gonna get one!!!
We got home at 12:40, and I was still pretty itchy so I took some pills, benadroyl, and rubbed coconut all over, and that helped. I really didn't want to have to get an IV again. :( Thankfully I didn't have to, I just toughed through it!!
(The next morning caden and lilli woke up with swollen faces, from a reaction to the sunscreen. :( Poor guys!!
And that's it!! Our adventure in St. Louis had ended, but I will forever look back on that as one of the best days ever!
