So my appointment on Thursday was good...
Really all they did was check my blood pressure to see if the bed rest has helped lower it. Luckily, it did and my BP was in the normal range! We were thankful, especially after reading lots of scary things on the internet in the previous nights. They also checked the heartbeat and it was great too! He checked my ankles and feet for swelling...luckily none there! I have another appointment on Monday to check my BP again. If it rises at anytime now they will induce...soooo, again, we potentially might have this baby on Monday! We are SO ready. Bags packed in the car and everything! If my BP continues to stay in the normal range then I will continue to be on bed rest. It's still SO weird not going to work and not being on a schedule. I'm secretly thankful for it because I haven't been getting ANY sleep. Wednesday night I literally got TWO hours of sleep. Of course I took a nap in the afternoon....and last night couldn't sleep until 2:45 and woke up at 7am today. It's been crazy but nice not having to go to work and actually function!
My mom is coming over today and we are having lunch. She is bringing a BP device so I can track my own BP this weekend. (She's a nurse and has been nervous since my appointment last week when my BP was so high!) She also bought me a bunch of nursing bras which I'm quite excited about!
Tonight for NYE the hubs and me will pretty much just sit here! LOL. Since I'm pretty much confined to the house we'll just celebrate with a nice dinner. Haven't decided on steak or crab legs...we'll see. I hope everybody has a safe NYE and a super duper happy New Year!!!
Thanks for the update....been thinking of you!
