Finally..

Well its about time that I write something on here. I have had this but just haven't found the time to write anything. But now that I am on bed rest I will have plenty of time to update this. I got put on bed rest yesterday. I was at work not really feeling that well and my feet were really swollen so I decided to come home a little early. On the way home I stopped at my parents house to get a book from my mom, when I walked in the door she didn't even say hi just told me to come here because my face looked like I had injected saline in it and she wanted to see if my feet were swollen. So I sat down and lifted up my pants and she said oh my gosh you need to go to the doctor right now! But first she wanted to take my blood pressure, so she took it and it was a little high so she sent me off to the doctor. When I got to the doctor I asked to have a nurse take my blood pressure, she took it three times and said she need to talk to the doctor. She came back and said the doctor needed to see me so we did the regular appointment stuff and he came in and looked at my feet which were now almost all the way purple and took my blood pressure yet again and checked me. I was dialated to a 2 (which I was happy about because last week I was high and tight) and my blood pressure was still through the roof. He then went on to tell me that I was done working and was on bed rest because he wants me to make it to the middle of next week before he has to enduce me. They had to draw my blood (which took me getting poked 6 freaking times before they finally hit a good vein) to find out if I have preeclampsia or toxemia. We will get the results back at tomorrows appointment. I hit 37 weeks this Friday which means the baby is full term and should have no problems when I have to be enduced. Casey wasn't at the appointment and was a little shocked when he heard the news. He was still planning on few more weeks before he is a dad. He told me he is really excited but really nervous. I think we are both feeling the same thing. Anyways I will write tomrrow about how the doctors went.

Here I am at 35 weeks and am even bigger as I approach 37
