As most of my loyal readers know, I had pregnancy-induced high blood pressure. I had it with while pregnant with my first, so it really was no surprise that I had it again. Well, I am happy and thrilled to report that my blood pressure is totally fine, now!!! What is crazy is that I can feel the difference, too. When my blood pressure was high, I could feel it in my chest when I got up to walk. Plus I would get dizzy when I got up and I would see stars after getting up too fast, more than usual. I am now stable and my chest doesn't burn from just walking up stairs. I'm so happy that I am not confined to the bed anymore and I can be with my kids more and watch Israel take his first steps.
Another praise is that my knee was hurting very badly. I haven't been able to lock it for about a year. Several days ago it was swollen and it was all I could do to move around on it. Now the swelling is gone and I can straighten it almost 100%. WAAAAAAAY better.
I'm also glad that God got us out of Mexico before the swine flu hit. Just to give an update on that, D is not going to be able to return to Mexico anytime soon because of it. The Mexicans that are helping with the school emailed and suggested that they postpone classes for a few weeks. Plus, the President of Mexico is telling everyone to stay in their homes for several days and they have closed schools until May 6th. He is going back at some point, considering the fact that we still have containers that need to come back with him on the plane :-).
I have tons of pictures to post and stories to tell of our daughter's birthday and other adventures. But it will have to wait until another post.
Can I just add a P.S. and say that I hate how blogger can't keep things spaced the way that you do them??? Is it that hard? I'm not a techy, but c'mon. Let it post the way I typed it, please!

Ya know I was just talking about how God works with a friend of mine lst night, and how your High blood pressure got you out of Mexico, before all that started.
Glad you are feeling better! Glad you are home!! Are you staying in Marietta? I'm coming home in June but then we are going on our family vacation the next day to gulf shores.
I hate the spacing thing too! It drives me crazy! Sometimes it does space..sometime it doesn't.. I don't get it!
I'm so glad to hear you are doing well. And I am thankful you are not in Mexico right now either.
