Laying low

I went in for my appointment today, and when they took my vitals and my systolic BP was over 140 and I had gained 30lbs in the past 2 & 1/2 weeks (I swear my eating habits haven't changed!!!). So, I went in to see the Dr. and he took one look at my massive cankles and sent me to the lab on my way up to L&D for an evaluation.

My labs weren't terribly out of the ordinary, but I have pitting edema (the kind of swelling that stays indented) up to my knees, my hands and stomach are also retaining fluid, and one of the spot checks in my UA was slightly positive, so I was sent home to collect a 24 hr urine sample and to be on STRICT bed rest. My BP did lower slightly into the 120s-130s while up in L&D, so I'm allowed out of bed to collect my urine and shower while at home.

The good thing is that I will be going in Sunday afternoon for them to check me out and see if I'm ready to be induced. With all the extra fluid I'm retaining, my Dr. doesn't want to wait too much longer. So, hopefully the boys will make their debut sometime Sunday or Monday. Until then I'll be chillin in my room with Koa at my side.
