Well it is bedrest again...
So I have been confined to the parameters of my bed (again) and so I write... Yesterday my blood pressure went through the roof! It was in the neighborhood of 157/115 so I had to go to the hospital to be monitored and for labs, but in reality its not so bad because (a little happy dance here) I had no bad stuff in my labs (like protein- so my kidneys are working properly) and just getting off my feet made it drop to 120/65 within about an hour without medicine, so we are good, just a little extra time to do nothing. The other good news is he looks great and I got to see a 3D ultrasound and he really looks like his daddy. He has the same pouty lips. I wish I knew how to put the pictures up (I will work on that later). So I am a little nervous I am not going to lie, he is breech and I know he can move, but we are getting close now. I am completely not prepared for our new addition thinking I still had plenty of time, but I did order cradle bedding. Nothing for the crib yet, but we will get there. Here is a picture of his cradle bedding...

Sorry to hear about the high blood pressure, but glad to hear that bed rest is doing the trick (for now anyway!)!!!
ReplyDeleteThe cradle bedding is beautiful, and I look forward to seeing the rest of your nursery...in due time!
Take care of yourself and enjoy these last few weeks. I can't believe how fast time goes. I know we all say that...and I've been incredibly good at documenting all the small things along the way with Baby Luke, but HOW did he turn 7 months on the 1st of March?!! AAAARGH! Regardless of age, he's pure delight! I know you'll soon be feeling the same!
Blessings,
Val
Valerie I can't believe he is 7 months old already!!! Thanks for still reading : ) I am trying to post his US picture today ~ wish me luck!
ReplyDeleteI love it! And definitely tell Bill that he has a lifetime of camo ahead of him, so a little toile in his first few months will be okay. ;) xoxo
