36 Weeks & 5 Days

The last few days have been eventful.  Friday I met with my Doctor before her 1 week vacation. It started with me not having an appointment. Apparently they 'bumped' me and forget to tell me. I wasn't going to leave without seeing my doctor. Glad I was persistent because I ended up being there for 2 1/2 hours.  After the nurse t ok my blood pressure twice she decided to do additional tests which consisted of blood work and a jug I had to take home and pee in for the next 24hours.  I took it easy and Sunday we celebrated Jack's first birthday and baptism. It was good to see everyone, but I couldn't do much. The bounce house was off limits and I couldn't even sit on the floor to help open presents. As I get closer to my due date I realize how immobile I've become. I know it will be worth it, but for now I'm uncomfortable and taking it easy sucks.

Today I had another Doctors appointment. My BP was very high. I have to repeat the blood work and the 24hr urine test! This blows. The good news is we listened to the baby for about a half hour and we'll see the baby tomorrow at an ultrasound appointment.  Oh and I'm dilated 1 centimeter! That was crazy to hear. I'm officially on bed rest, no more work but no malls either :) I guess I can lay in bed and watch tv for a few days, but I hope it doesn't go beyond that, I'm excited to see the baby!
