I'm not really fond of the changes around here and I have been having a rough time getting motivated to write in my blog...even though I am on bed rest. You'd think I have more "free" time to do these types of things. I do, but I don't wanna.Everything is trucking along over here. Holding steady on the weight, still, and trying to get through each day. I don't believe that I will be the type to embrace retirement. This is a very difficult, boring life to live. I'm still 6 p...

I had to make a trip to labor and delivery at the hospital yesterday because my blood pressure keeps creeping up and the little dipstick test showed protein in my urine at the midwife's office and I lost 5 pounds in the last week. Four hours later, I am perfectly fine.
The only thing they found was when I was upright (sitting/standing), my blood pressure got high but when I was laying down, it was normal/low. That means there is no sign of pre-eclampsia and I can't even tell you how happy ...

Soooooo...it looks like I am headed back down the road to pre-eclampsia.
I had another prenatal appointment this morning and I added 4 pounds in a week.
Seems I am pretty swollen. The midwife pressed on my lower leg and it left a big-ol' indentation. And, my blood pressure is elevated and has been slowly creeping up each time they have checked me for the last 4 weeks. Bummer. I'm now at 140/78. Started out 115/70. I had this with my son, but was hoping it would stay away this ...

I officially crossed that "single-digit number of weeks left until my new baby girl arrives" line this week! In as little as six weeks I will be considered "full term" and they would not try to stop labor if it started. Yay! That is exciting.I've decided that my first post-partum food (providing it isn't the middle of the night/early morning) will be SUSHI!!!! Oh, how I've missed thee.... And a Blue Moon beer. But, I suspect that those two will need to be consumed...
