Bed Rest...

Just thought I'd update everyone as to what is going on with my pregnancy.

Last Thursday I had a regular check up and my blood pressure was high so the doctor wanted me to come back in on Monday to have it checked again.  We got there as soon as it opened and my blood pressure wasn't any better, it had actually gotten worse.  So the doctor walks in and says you are now on complete bed rest and Travis and I didn't think that it was that big of a deal, but then he started to explain that I had preeclampsia and how serious a condition it is.  The only cure for this condition is to have the baby, but she needs to stay in a little longer.  So we talked for a little bit and it seems that we may be having Sophie sooner than expected.  Hopefully we'll know more on Thursday.  

They did a test at the doctor's office to make sure she was okay and she is doing just fine, she just needs to develop a couple more weeks before she can be born, thus the bed rest.  This will hopefully help keep my blood pressure down so she can develop more.

After we left the doctor's office we had to go to the hospital for some testing to make sure some of my major organs are okay and not being affected by the high blood pressure.  Again, hopefully we'll know more Thursday.  After we got home I got in the bed and had Travis get my prescription filled for my high blood pressure.  He came home early to keep me company and said that he was going to start doing that, he's so sweet!   

So now I am on day 2 of best rest with my cat George by my side keeping me company and Travis going above and beyond already to take care of me.  I am so blessed and I am just trusting God, He knows what's best and I believe Sophie and I will be just fine.
