A little bummed...

So I am officially out of work and on modified bed rest from here on out due to high blood pressure. I'm a little bummed about it, but I figure that it could be a lot worse.

At least I'm allowed to get up/out for an hour at a time! And at least I made it to 33 weeks first, so not too too much longer to go!

I'm sad though that I had to cancel my childbirth class and hospital tour this weekend though :(

...hello out there!

Re: A little bummed...

  • That stinks, at least you get some extra time off!?!? Hopefully it doesn't effect how much leave you can take once LO arrives!

  • @ashleymatt1215, I'm actually going to be SAH, so I'm done done now. I feel guilty leaving so quickly (it kind of puts everyone there in a not so ideal situation), but it's doctor's orders, so I really have no choice.

  • So close! I left work one night with every intention of coming in the next day and instead I had a baby and never went back. Your work will figure things out.

    Just focus on taking care of yourself and your precious Io!
