Hello From The Land of Bed Rest!

Well, here I am. Confined to bed for the duration of the pregnancy. Did I mention that I'm in the hospital???

Yep. Saw the Doctor on Tuesday for my regular visit and the blood pressure had reached the "unacceptable" range. So it was off to the hospital for some "routine" monitoring. As you can well imagine, the "routine" monitoring turned not-so-routine. My pressure continued to be high and actually climbed a bit higher. That along with a few other not-so-good test numbers caused the Doctor to decide to keep me overnight. Then yesterday, after a few other tests with unfavorable outcomes, she made the decision that I would stay here until baby comes! (I also now officially have preeclampsia.) Oh, and also that she would be inducing me next week!!

One saving grace for me is that the hospital just got wireless internet access a few months ago so I don't feel like such a hermit! I'm able to email like crazy and do alot of "surfing" that I never seemed to get around to at home. Also, they do let me out once a day for a spin outside to enjoy some sunshine so I don't go TOO crazy.

Will keep updating as things progress!
