Blood work. NST, Ultrasound.

 Well I got my results today for my blood work and from my ultrasound. As you know I'm currently suffering from Pregnancy induce Hypertension (aka high blood pressure. I've been going weekly for appointments and been on modified bed rest for 4 weeks. Today was my last day of work and from what I understand from what my dr's message said is that I'm to be on complete bed rest now. Joyous.

I got blood work done to test for PreE (Toxemia) and everything came back on that end ok. I also had another ultrasound yesterday to check on the growth of the baby. As always it was wonderful. He was asleep so fairly cooperative, unlike normal. We actually got to see him yawning. It was absolutely adorable. He's measureing a little bit small right now. Smaller than what they would like. So now I'm officially high risk. I have to do a NST (nonstress test) next week to check on the baby's heartrate and movement along with contractions I may be having. He is 4lbs 3oz as of yesterday. Totally feels like he weights more :p all this weight I've gained obviously has been going to my butt and thighs and not him. Boo. Dr ordered another ultrasound in 2 weeks to check on his size again. At least I get to get lots of pictures of my son :)

I've been having dizzy spells today. Not very fun. I haven't passed out or anything and if they persist tomorrow I'll give my Dr a call and see if its normal. Its probably from my blood pressure being high.

My baby shower is in 3 weeks! I'm so excited. We finally get to finish off everything we absolutely need before he comes. Its going to be a blast :)

Ok I need to go finish eating my dinner and get some zzz's I'm sleepy.
