taking it.... lying down?

Last night after a little visit up to Labor and Delivery "we" (Brooks and myself) were put on complete bed-rest! Yes, you heard me- COMPLETE BED-REST! Apparently my blood pressure has been too high and I need to take it easy for a while. At this point they have written me to be off work "until cleared for return by OB" but I was told to not plan on going back until after delivery.

So what does this mean I wonder? Bed-rest until I deliver just seems absurd!! For now we are getting cable installed in the bedroom tomorrow- can anyone say Sex and the City and Glee marathons?!?

During this little event Brooks has been doing wonderful- his heart rate has great variability (meaning at this time he is not being affected by my blood pressure) and was kicking like the crazy kid he always is.

Doug has been wonderful but is a little confused by the whole "laying flat" idea.

We saw my OB this morning and have been scheduled for antepartum testing twice a week from now until infinity (or so it seems) with OB appointments every 2 weeks. 

This pregnancy seems to be one roller coaster ride after another- but I couldn't be happier. I love being pregnant and having my little guy so close. Every kick is a reminder of the little life Doug and I have created together- now if only he'd stop giving me such a hard time!!
