A little detour in the journey...

Went to get a check today as I have had some more swelling in my feet and hands as well as a little bit of an elevated blood pressure. The nurse confirmed that my blood pressure is elevated (was 120/75 a couple weeks ago and now is 140/80) and a slight increase of protein in urine. Since all the docs were out today and with the potential /risk of pre eclampsia that could happen at any time now (hopefully NEVER), the nurse put me on bedrest until Tuesday (only can get up to use the toilet and shower, thank goodness for my Blackberry phone!HA). Reason is to do what we can to keep my blood pressure down as it can be dangerous for the baby and I if elevated. She agreed to let me go to work Tuesday since it is the first day with the students ONLY if I don't develop any other symptoms this weekend (she gave me a list of things to watch for) and if I follow her orders of bedrest until then. I go back in on Tuesday at 4pm for another check and to determine what do to from there. If anything. I am hoping it is just a matter of adjusting my dose in blood pressure medicine. So keep Ella and I in your prayers that all is fine and that I can resume somewhat of a normal routine next week. At only 5 1/2 months we have a ways to go yet...In case I have failed to mention this before, this is the LAST pregnancy!!!!
