Dang it, we almost made it! :)
Yesterday I called my doctor to run some numbers by her regarding my blood pressure, hoping she would say that is normal and this is what happens when you are 37 weeks pregnant! Unfortunately they weren't fond of any of my numbers and asked me to come down and check into labor and delivery. After about 8 readings on my blood pressure, a few pricks to draw blood, listening to Gia's heartbeat and watching for contractions on the monitor, and an ultrasound to see how active she was, they determined I needed to be on bed rest until further notice. She looks great and is head down and moving very well, but it's just taking a toll on her Momma at this stage.
I see Dr. Seifert on Thursday (he is the last doctor in my practice I have to meet before delivery) and we will see where we go from there. Turns out with high blood pressure, they just don't mess around! So here in bed I sit watching a A Baby Story and Bringing Home Baby...knowing that will be my world here very shortly!
I am not a fan of doing things people tell me to do (shocker! I think I have mentioned this before!) so being restricted to bed rest has my mind racing! Now all of a sudden I have a ton of errands to run and last minute items, but I need to follow doctor orders and stay put...
Day 1---and I am already bored! :)
Thinking of you, Reagan. You are in good hands. Just do what your doctor tells you to do and in no time, Gia will be in your arms (and you'll never lie down ever again, hehehe).
