We're still here...

Well, I had my house (as close to) spotless as it probably will ever be. Our refrigerator had been emptied and we'd eaten all but the salad dressings and other condiments in the door. Jakob's bag was fully packed and ready to go. But we didn't go. Thursday afternoon I started having some issues with my heart. It literally felt like it was about to beat out of my chest. I grabbed my blood pressure cuff and took a reading. 140 beats per minute. That is not good. I laid down and just did nothing for 30 minutes. The reading went down but not that much. After an hour it was 124. The best thing you can do when your heart is going crazy like that is not to stress. It's kind of hard not to stress though when your heart is going crazy like that. By Thursday night I had gone back and forth and back again about whether I was able to make a 10 hour trip feeling the way I did. I knew that it could all go away the next day or it could take 3 or 4 days to fully "recover" from the way I was feeling (that happens sometimes) Thinking about not being able to get in to see my Dr if I needed to only gave me more stress. Jeremy said it was all up to me and how I felt about traveling. I finally made the decision to stay home. I felt bad because we were supposed to leave the next day and I knew everyone would be disappointed. I also knew if I went feeling the way I felt right then that I'd be no fun and stressed the whole time. Thursday night made me glad I made that decision because it was another one of those rough nights. Thankfully I haven't had one in 3 or 4 weeks (until now). Well, that's the reason we're still here and why I won't get to see some of you in the next couple of weeks. We will reschedule our trip. I'm thinking maybe we'll go around Jakeys birthday. Hope you all have a great weekend :)
