It's April! And it's showering and snowing just to prove that it's really spring. My mom is here now, and we're having a fun visit with her as well as with Jessica and the boys! It's been so good to get to see those sweet nephews of mine. They are so cute and sweet!
On Wednesday I had a regular check up at the doctor's, and my blood pressure was high. I had pre-eclampsia with my oldest, so after checking it several times at the office the doctor sent me over to Labor and Delivery (again) for monitoring and the possibility of induction. I am seriously getting tired of checking in and out of Labor and Delivery! I spent a couple of hours at the hospital and after laying down and resting my pressure went down so I was able to come home. However, they believe I have gestational hypertension which is likely to turn into pre-eclampsia, so I am on bedrest to keep my blood pressure down. I was actually kind of bummed, because if I have to be lazy, I'd like to at least have a baby to hold! But instead, I get to spend the last few days of my pregnancy in bed. Not a great way to make the time go by quickly. But, at least it means I'll be well rested for when baby girl arrives!
In the meantime, we are praying for a safe delivery and a healthy baby!

Why not just induce you now??? I mean why wait at this point. You are far enough along. At least you have your mom there with you. Well enjoy your last few days of sleep!!! :) With the fifth kid, you know what to expect with a newborn. :)
