Forced to remove my rose-colored glasses...

January 10 2013

Things were going so well and so easy.....

I went to the doctor to do my glucose test this morning.  When i got there my blood pressure was 130/96, too high.....My doctor came back 30 minutes later and redid it and it was 122/80, still high but not bad

I have been placed on level 1 bedrest, means I have to work part time and relax when I am not at work, no more walks for max, lots of time spent laying down on my left side...

I have to do a 24 hour urine catch (or something like that) which means I have a large jug that I have to collect my pee in from sunday morning to monday morning. They are going to check and see how much protein is in my urine and some other substance.  If it is normal, I can go back to life as normal just be careful not to over do it.  If it is not normal, well things can get interesting, serious bedrest, blood pressure meds, and possible early induction :(

I am trying very hard not to freak out, but I am on the verge.  Please keep little Lily and me in your prayers for the next few days....hopefully we will be a-okay and Lily can stay where she is a few more months!
