Yesterday I had a checkup at 11:20 in the morning.. after that i was suppost to work from 12 - 2. Usually when I have a doctor's appointment Jordan ALWAYS comes with me but yesterday he was scheduled to work 7-4 and my mother had to work in the morning too.. i thought about calling kara or katie but i decided to go by myself. When I went to the doctor the lady who took my bloodpressure told me it was a little high. Every other time I had went it had been completely fine.. so the doctor came in and measured my belly, checked for swelling, and told me the nurse was going to recheck my blood pressure after i laid down for a couple of minutes. so about 10 minutes later after laying on the bed she came in and checked it.. again it was high. so the doctor came back and told me i had to go to hospital, the baby and mother center, there they would draw some blood and keep an eye on my bloodpressure. So, on my way there I was freaking out.. 1. because I'm pregnant and 2. because when is it ever a good sign you have to go to the hospital?.. so i call Jordan at work and I know it scared him to death because about 8 minutes later he walks into the hospital while i'm still being admitted. I go upstairs and put on a gown.. they strap these belts around my belly.. one to measure contractions and the other to keep track of the babys heartbeat. After getting the results from my labs back they say everything is looking fine and the babys heartbeat is very healthy.. but the doctor wants to observe me for quite a bit longer.. and this was around.. oh, 3 in the afternoon.. around 5 the doctor walks in and check my reflexes and my swelling.. he says he thinks everything is fine.. it may just be my body can't handle being pregnant and if thats the case they want to keep the baby in for as long as possible but they also want to watch my health closely too.. so the doctor says he wants to watch me just a little bit longer.. around 7:30ish pm the nurse comes in and says the doctor says i can leave.. but i have another appointment at the clinic on monday. so i have no idea whats going on with me... i don't know if its serious or just minor... i know its got to be SOMETHING if they keep me in the hospital all day. so.. yeah. awesome.
