Bed Rest???

I have to say, Baby Girl, these were two words Mommy wasn't wanting to hear today. But, the midwives found protein in her urine and her blood pressure isn't going down so Mommy has to lay on her left side. She can get up to make herself something to eat and to take a shower, but that's about it. This also means another blood test. Mommy certainly isn't as afraid as she use to be, but she is kind of bummed because she thought she was done with all that. More importantly, she doesn't want to induce her little princess before she's ready, and that's become a very real possibility right now.

What Mommy has is called Pregnancy Induced Hypertension, the blood test is to make sure she doesn't have Pre-Eclampsia. If the results come back positive, you will be induced and Mommy is kind of nervous about handling induction contractions. She doesn't know if she can do that without an epidural. Mommy is definitely thanking Heavenly Father that you will be full term next week, before they can do anything. Had this happened any earlier, Mommy would be ten times more concerned than she is now.

Well, here's hoping and knowing God will take care of both of us no matter how this turns out. Mommy loves you, Baby Girl, and she will do anything and everything she can to bring you into this world healthy and happy.

Love Always,
Mommy
