Bed Rest it is...

So, today is the day. I am now officially on strict bed rest until Miss Emery decides to make her appearance, or the Dr. says it is time. It was confirmed today at my appt. that I have mild preeclampsia. I have no other signs of the preec., only high blood pressure and protein. Joe and I both were completely caught off guard with this diagnosis, because I have no swelling, no headaches, no nothing. I feel fine, other than when they get me worried at the Dr.'s office with my high BP. When the Dr. walked in she said, "so are you on bed rest yet?", and I said, "nope"...and her response was, "well, you are now!" The orders are: no cleaning, no laundry, no nothing, other than laying in bed and only getting up to go to the bathroom, to eat something, and to move to the recliner. (Ok, English teachers, I know my use of commas is excessive...but oh well!) :) I am at 33 weeks now, so the prognosis still looks good, Emery may just be petite! We go in Friday for an ultrasound to see just how ready Emery is and we will go from there. The Dr. said, sooner rather than later. Please keep us in your prayers, I would like to at least make it to 36 weeks, it just depends on how my body cooperates. Well, that is the newest update...feel free to send me an e-mail, because I have a sneaking suspicion that this lap top is going to become a good friend over the next week or so!!
