Baby Update
Hi ladies! I've been so busy at work the past several weeks so I haven't been around here much, but I've been lurking and keeping up with everything. :-)
I wanted to give ya'll an update - went to the doctor yesterday and I've been put on modified bed rest. I'm very fortunate to have the ability to work from home, because I would go CRAZY with nothing to do.
I've had pretty bad swelling in my feet for about 6 weeks now, and yesterday, my blood pressure spiked, which the doctor didn't love. I go back tomorrow for a non-stress test, so we'll see what happens from there. I fully expect them to send me back home and tell me to continue taking it easy and keeping me feet propped up. And she said no more exercising. :-( At least it's only for a couple more weeks at the most!
Re: Baby Update
Bed rest STINKS!!! I'm so sorry. At least it isn't for long! Try to get some rest before baby gets here, even if it makes you crazy
It'll do Mama-to-be some good 
Hang in there! Feel better! It's almost time!!!! So excited for you!
I'm sorry you have to be on bed rest but at least it's not for much longer!!! Lucie's babysitter was on bedrest for the first 5 months with her daughter! I can't imagine.
Take it easy and try and fit some things in you might not get to do when baby arrives!!
They want to avoid inducing me if possible (which is great, because i do not want to be induced at all; i just want it to happen on its own). If my blood pressure is still high tomorrow, I would imagine they would make some plans, but I don't expect that to happen. I think as long as I can relax and keep my feet up, my blood pressure will stay under control.
