This is getting old...

I have truly enjoyed this pregnancy. I love being pregnant and I'm a little sentimental about it being so close to the end...but running back and forth to L&D is starting to get on my nerves!

Yesterday my blood pressure was high. Like 150/100 while standing and 145/95 while laying down. After lunch I started feeling yucky so I called my doctor's office and they told me to go to the hospital. They ran some tests and started me on blood pressure medicine. We were allowed to come home (they released us at 9:00 last night) with instructions to start a 24-hour kidney study. I guess all of this blood pressure stuff can affect my kidney function so they want to check it out. We are going back to the hospital Sunday for the kidney study, a NST and more lab work. Then we have a doctors appointment Monday. My bedrest was restricted even more with instructions to only get up to use the restroom.

On a very happy note, today is Gage's birthday! He's very excited about his party this afternoon...it's amazing how happy a few balloons and cake will make kids!!
