Uh, yeah....still in bed.

So...I went back to the dr. today and I lost 5 lb.s of water/fluid, which was good. But then they took my blood pressure. Sitting up it was about 170/100ish, then laying on my side it was 136/70ish, sooooo I'm back on strict bed rest until Monday. If I lose a few more water weight lbs. and my pressure is about the same then we will be discussing modified bed rest. If it is not better then it is stay on strict bed rest and then re-do the blood work I got done on Tuesday. Well, that's all I know for now.

Hot Diggity Dog!!!

Go the results....finally!!!! Blood work was perfection! I am on strict bed rest until tommorrow. Then if my blood pressure is down and my fluid retention is less...I can go on a modified bed rest. I will take it! It only involves being in bed 4 hours straight during the day!! Then I can keep her for a bit longer and keep on baking! Good thoughts that the fluid is less and blood pressure is down :)

Busy on Bedrest

Yeah, thought that title would catch your eye. I went in yesterday with the best of intentions. I've had no problems...with the exception of some swelling in the past few weeks. Well yesterday when my blood pressure was taken and blah, blah, blah was done. My P.A. announced that I needed blood work now and bed rest at least until Thursday. I have pregnancy induced hypertension on the verge of preeclampsia. I've been waiting all am for the doctor to call and give me word of my lab results....no luck so I call and find out that the dr. is away for 2 weeks and the p.a. is off today. Well, great. I'm on required relaxation and no word....yet. The on call doc is going to rifle through my results and get back to me. Worst case scenario, little sassy gets out quite soon (like this week). Thank goodness for our friends/neighbors that came over last night to help us get as organized as we could for the day. I will not be attending our last birth class tonight as I was told no, so hubby is going and taking notes on infant care...and heading to Babies r us as there are things on the registry that we are in need of pronto!
Yikes! I'll update as the doc calls.
P.S. Hungry pregnant lady on bed rest watching food network not the best situation. Urgh!

3D/4D Ultrasound

It was awesome to see facial features! Little sassy kept putting her "large" foot in front of her face so she had to be "buzzed" a few times to help her try to move along. Nope, no pictures will be put up. More of a surprise for all of you :) This week: curtains. A co-worker and I found a adorable idea at a local store and will re-create for sassy's room. Sooo cute.

Dr. Appt

We had a ultrasound and ob check yesterday. She's exactly average...good for me! She weighs 4 lbs. 8 oz. at the moment. If she's carried to term she will be between 7 1/2 and 8 lbs. Thank goodness we aren't looking at a 10 pounder! This way she can wear the cute clothes she got this weekend!

Shower

As soon as I get pictures from the attendees I can put them up here....it was lovely!!! The host and hostess did the most spectacular job ever!
