When I went to my appointment this week on 3/24/10 my blood pressure was a little bit high. They tested it a bunch of times and continued to be high.  So the doctor made a decision that I had to be on bed rest from then until my next appointment on 3/30/10. I was not all that disappointed with not having to go back to work..but at the same time I’m like oh no..I still have stuff to do. lol

But the good news is that with the exam I found out that his head is actually facing downwards (which I kind of figured since the urinating has increased and I get kicked in the ribs quite frequently..ouch!).  And I am also effaced. Yay. So she said we are in a good place if we had to deliver soon. I surely hope so. I do not know if I can make it 20 more days until my due date. I am kind of hoping for a next week delivery… of course I am still anxious and scared but that isn’t going to change in 20 days.  So hopefully my next post will be in a long time saying how much I love having our little guy around!

I have been enjoying the bed rest so far.  I am getting a lot of resting done on the bed and couch.  I also am doing a lot of reading and just enjoying stress free days.  I am hoping my blood pressure will be back to normal by my Tuesday’s appointment.  I have mixed feelings about being allowed to return to work. A part of me wouldn’t mind it (it will only be a day and a half because then spring break starts) but then another part dreads the idea of returning to the place that probably caused the high blood pressure in the first place. We shall see what happens!
