Bedrest...

So...I've been on bedrest since Wednesday of this past week. I went to the doctor last Wednesday and my blood pressure was high (the bottom number was high). They did an ultrasound to check on Madison (just to make sure everything was okay) and she was moving around and her heart rate was just fine. They did notice that my fluid level was low. I'm not exactly sure what it is supposed to be...but the week before mine was at a 13 and it dropped to just above 8 (like 8.2). So he sent me home to rest and stay off my feet and come back on Friday. We went back in on Friday and my blood pressure had lowered. My bottom number had gone down and my top number had gone up. So he sent me to ultrasound to check my fluid again. Again Madison was fine...heartbeat and everything...but my fluid had gone down some to 7.76. Which isn't terrible but obviously it’s not great. So the doctor is sending me to an ultrasound specialist to see if Madison is well developed enough to be delivered. We're still 3 1/2 - 4 weeks early so he just wants to make sure she would be ready if we needed to go ahead and deliver because of fluid levels (they should not go below 5) or blood pressure. Or if I am in the early stages of preeclampsia…which I have some symptoms of.

Today I have an appointment with my regular doctor at 3:10 and then tomorrow I am going to see the specialist at 2. So hopefully by Tuesday afternoon or Wednesday we will have some answers and maybe know when Madison will be arriving! :) Very exciting.

So I will try to keep an update on here. I do not have internet at home so it's only when I am at the shop on the couch that I can get on-line.

Oh…bedrest is overrated! I thought it would be wonderful to sit at home and do nothing, but apparently in this stage of pregnancy you really want to clean and nest and I can’t stand looking around and seeing things cluttered! So Jerrad’s precious Grandmom came and cleaned our entire house on Saturday! She did a wonderful job and it made me feel so much better! (If I can only get Jerrad to keep it that way!!) So now I don’t have clutter to look at…I just look at my beautiful small feet! My swelling feet have gone down completely from being off of them! I just love to look at them and think how cute and small they are and wonder if they are really mine! I know its silly…but it’s the small things in life!!!
