Four Weeks Down and a Trip to OB Observation

At my weekly doctor's appointment this morning I found out that I had high blood pressure. My doctor was concerned enough to send me to OB observation at the hospital. John came home from work to go with me. I was hooked up to a bunch of monitors to make sure the babies were okay and to continuously monitor my blood pressure. The babies were great and I wasn't having any contractions. My blood pressure slowly went back down to normal. I was sent home with orders of a more strict bed rest. I can basically get up to shower and eat. We have to get these babies to 36 weeks so keep the prayers coming!! We have an ultrasound on Thursday to check the babies' growth. Oh...and on the way home from the hospital there was a car accident right next to us at a light. We were so lucky that either car did not plow into us. Talk about raising your blood pressure!!! I really think we had our guardian angels surrounding us today.

I can't believe I've been on bed rest for a month already. Time has really gone by quickly. This week I've developed pretty constant back pain. I think my tummy gets bigger every day! I've spent my time scrap booking, working through a book of puzzles, and sleeping. John and I played Monopoly and cards this weekend. I had a few visitors from work and really enjoyed catching up with them. It made me realize that I do miss my job!
