More Bed Rest
A few faithful readers have reminded me I haven't updated this week. Sorry about that sometimes I forget that people actually read it. I went back to the Dr on Tuesday after almost a week of bed rest and my blood pressure was down and I was feeling so much better. The ultrasound showed the baby looked ok and his head was already measuring 40 weeks can you say ouch??? I have such big babies. This one has fat cheeks as I got to see him in 4D again a little bit. I went back to the Dr today as they are watching me really closely and my blood pressure was 138/98 so they made me lay back down for 15 minutes and it dropped to 116/62 the Dr came in and said gosh you are almost dead when you lay down but that is ok. Not sure how to take that one...but he said my cervix wasn't favorable for induction right now so he ordered me to more bed rest and I have to go back on Monday and have my blood pressure checked and a non stress test on the baby and then we may talk about induction next week. I had tried to work this week Tuesday-Friday just for 6 hours and I have a sit down job but I guess that was enought to counter effect all the bed rest. So...even though in the beginning I begged him not to induce me no matter what now we are talking about an induction all over again. I just don't want to take maternity leave w/out the baby and I am tired of feeling bad when my blood pressure is up. My hubby has been wonderful though and he knows how hard it is on me to just lay around. I am truly blessed and have fallen in love with him all over again. I need to get Conner to guitar lessons but wanted to do a quick update....I know I know I am supposed to be in bed but his lesson is already paid for :)

Thanks for indulging me. ;) You'll continue to be in my prayers this week.
I understand completely about not wanting to take leave before the baby actually gets here, but you do what you need to do to keep you and him healthy. Those are the most important things.
And if you need any help carting the boys around this next week or so, please don't hesitate to call me! I really mean it!
Lisa,
Just wanted to let you know I am reading this and checking on your progress. Take it easy........the dr's know what is right, and they will do the right thing. Inducins isn't bad.......both of mine were induced, and look at them now!
Take care and if you need anything, let me know!
Love ya - Deb
Ok, so everyone needs an update :o)
