Bed rest

Bed rest is so boring! I can only do so many crossword puzzles. Reading doesn't get much more exciting. I'm all finished with my little girls room, but I still could be cleaning or doing something. I've never been a fan of laying in bed allday when there are a million other things in the world going on.

Yesterday was my 37 week appointment. I've gained around 26 lbs total. Of course that could be plus or minus a few lbs. Everything has been great thus far in my pregnancy until the last week or two when my headaches turned into throbbing neverending migraines. After several doses of Tylenol-3 and bedrest they kept occurring. On Monday my feet really started swelling and I was feeling really under the weather. One of the doctors yesterday saw these as warning signs for preeclampsia. Being that preeclampsia is very serious I started a 24 hr urine collection along with blood work this morning. Results should be back tomorrow.

At this point medically nothing surprises me. I've learned to expect anything and everything.

Ultrasound and 38 week doctor appointment has been scheduled for Monday. By then hopefully they will schedule a C-section or induce labor. Either way im ready to hold my baby through the endless weeks of sleepless nights. Just hoping that doesn't last too long lol.
