No more work for me!

Well, so much for my uneventful pregnancy!

I had a regular appointment on Friday afternoon. Went in, had the non stress test (which Hadlee passed with flying colors!), met with the doctor and found out that when the nurse took my blood pressure, it was too high. So, another nurse came in and retook my blood pressure. Then they come back and tell me that we're headed over to Labor and Delivery for monitoring.

I get over to the Labor and Delivery unit and call Dave, who is already on his way because we were supposed to take a childbirthing class that night. I get all changed into the beautiful backless gown and crawl into bed. I then get hooked up to the monitors to measure Hadlee's heartbeat and my blood pressure.

After about 2 hours of monitoring, the doctor comes in (luckily for me, my Dr happened to be on call!). She says that since I've been laying down, my blood pressure has come back down into an acceptable range. She said that she really wants me to make it one more week so that Hadlee will be past the 28 week mark, but she isn't sure if we'll get there or not. So--she is sending me home-ON BED REST! :( How boring! So, I am now at home on bed rest, as she said I couldn't work anymore.

I wasn't really ready to be done working, as I had lots of stuff I wanted to finish before I was done, but I guess you can't plan these types of things! Making sure that Hadlee is healthy is the most important thing, so here I sit on the couch. I've been recording as many Lifetime and Hallmark movies as possible! :) As if i wasn't emotional enough, I really need more tearjerker movies to watch! ha ha......

Oh well, that's how life goes! Hopefully Hadlee will be here by the end of the week, but I'm not holding my breath! I think she's already got a little stubborn mind of her own.

Hope you are all doing well and things are great! I'll keep you posted with any news that happens here!

Have a great week!
Amanda
