Better off in Bed

We had our “weekly” visit to the doc yesterday, and she wasn't pleased with my blood pressure readings. I haven't had any problems with this for the entire pregnancy, but as we get closer to D-day, they take these numbers more seriously, and it was definitely much higher than usual. I have been dealing with some headaches and off-and-on blurry vision during the days for about a week or so....usually while I'm working. I also have this weird tenderness at the top/right side of my uterus, that bothers me the more I walk or stand…she says it’s the round ligaments, but whatever it is, I feel like someone punched me in the same place every day and gave me a big bruise inside.

So…she’s asked me to stay home from work, at least until she takes another reading Friday morning. Her goal is to be the least aggressive as possible...and let the baby come in due time.
Please pray with us, that they won't have to use any other measures if medically possible.

CLEANING PARTY

In other news, our “NOOK” looks more and more like a “NURSERY” now!!!

Thanks to my Mom, Aunt Mary and sis Rachel, the entire townhome has been turned upside-down! Billy walks around and says we “need to make a mess” because it’s so “sterile”. It looks and feels great to have it all cleaned up! I’m very, very, very thankful for these ladies. They came and helped us put everything away for the baby, DEEP-cleaned our entire place top to bottom (Rachel even climbed up on the bathroom counters to clean the light bulbs!), and gave great advice in the process on where things really need to go for easy access when he gets here.

Billy (with Court and David's help) built some cubes to organize us a little better, and the dresser/changer combo is on backorder so the baby got some of my Rubbermaid drawers in the closet for the time being. The ladies “improvised”, and turned our ottoman into a changing table, LOL. They were sitting on the couch "pretending" to change him, and said that's where we'll be wanting to do the diaper duty anyway. Silly moms. :)

As of yesterday, we are the proud owners of the comfy chenile glider/ottoman I’ve been drooling over, and it should be ready for pickup within a week (it’s been on backorder too). How do people get all this stuff in time usually? We waited too long I guess, or maybe we were just fooled with how “fast” this furniture comes when our crib made it here in less than a week.

Oh well, it’s all just “stuff” and the baby is all we really want to get here in time! So, come on Baby B! We all wanna’ meet you...ON MARCH 4th IF AT ALL POSSIBLE…hehe :)
