No PreE! yay!
All of my test results came back good and I don’t have preeclampsia! My blood pressure was still a little high yesterday (140/66) but much better than on Tuesday. Hopefully it’s just because I haven’t been feeling 100%. My doctor still wants me on kind of strict bed rest though. It’s definitely harder that moderate bed rest. I was used to getting up and washing dishes and cleaning up and that sort of thing. And I think Ben was kind of used to it too. Last night he kept making comments like, "We have so much to do, I wish you could help out more." I don’t think he kept saying it to make me feel bad but it did. I hope he doesn’t think I like just sitting here and not doing anything. Our house is a mess and I think I’ve started having nesting feelings because it’s just really driving me nuts and I can’t do anything about it. And I hate watching him run around like crazy when he gets home from work trying to clean and get the laundry room ready for our new washer and dryer and clean up the basement cupboards so we can make room for baby stuff in the upstairs cupboards. I’d rather he got to come home and relax and enjoy himself. But I don’t know what I’m supposed to do about it. 🙁 Maybe I’ll clean the kitchen today in small bursts so at least that will be done. Maybe in ten minute increments or something. *shrugs*
While I was at my doctors appt on the monitor I had three contractions. I know I’ve been feeling them more often but having three on the monitor when I was only on the monitor for about twenty minutes kind of freaked me out. The doctor didn’t seem too worried about it and told me if I feel more than 6 an hour at home that he wants me to drink a ton of water and then lay down on my left side and if I have more than 6 in the next hour too I’m supposed to call and they’ll want me to come in. My problem is I don’t always know when I’m having one. I have a hard time telling the difference between a contraction and the baby pushing it’s back out in my stomach. To me they both feel really similar. In fact, while I was on the monitor I would have sworn that at least two of those contractions were just from that. But I guess not.
It kind of surprised me that the doctor gave me the OK to go ahead with the baby shower in Rhinelander. I’ll be 35 weeks at that time but he doesn’t see any problem with me traveling 6 hrs for it. I hope I’m not feeling too much more uncomfortable than I am now at that point. I am excited to see everyone though and to get up to Rhinelander before the baby comes. And we do need more stuff. 😉
Well, I think I’ll go watch some netflix movies.
