bed rest.......

Ok, so here's the excitement that's been going on here. Sunday all day I could tell my blood pressure was up. I was cranky and my fingers were swollen and I've had HBP for long enough now to know when it's up so I checked it. IT was up. I took my medicine. I checked it 2 hrs later, it was still up so I called the Dr's office. I talked to the nurse who then called the dr on call and then called back to tell us to come on into the hospital. We got there around 9 sunday night and i ended up staying till this morning. My pressure still wouldn't go down Sun so that's why they decided to keep me overnight and do BP checks and a 24 hr urine collection to check for protein. So, needless to say, everything came back good. My BP is still going up a little but for the most part is good. I'm on bedrest until Monday morning when we'll go in and I will get induced. The dr also checked me this morning and I am dilated 1 1/2 cm so far so that's encouraging too. Maybe he won't wait on the induction and decide he wants to come before that. I guess we will just wait around and see. I'm glad to be home but it will be very hard for me to do this whole bed rest thing. My parents are going to come on down either Thursday or Fri and stay till next Fri so that will be a big help.

Just wanted to let everyone know what is happening here. They'll be a baby here before we know it! It still hasn't hit me yet, even while I just spent 2 nights in the hospital. As soon as those labor pains hit though I'm sure I'll realize that this is all very real. I am excited, just hasn't felt real to me yet. Is this wierd?
