baby shower #4 and some other stuff

So, Russell's "team" at work wanted to throw us a baby shower. That takes the count to 4 (and I will be telling you soon about numero cinco as well.)

I headed over there during their lunch hour and met everyone. I had only met a few of them at the holiday party. We had cake and ice cream and played a little game. It was very nice. It was a co-ed shower, which is unusual, but it was enjoyable. It was very thoughtful of them to want to do that for us. Thanks to B for putting it all together.


Well, after such a great shower, I had my weekly OB check up, which was not so great. My blood pressure was too high, therefore I was admitted to the hospital. They monitored my blood pressure for couple hours and did some blood work. There was the chance that if my blood pressure didn't go down, then I would have to stay and probably be induced. However, lucky for me, my blood tests were fine and my blood pressure went down enough for them to send me home. My midwives know how much I want a natural water birth and that is what they want too. They do not want to have to induce me...so, I am on STRICT BED REST...

Monday I go back in and we will see how things are. The baby is great and everything else is good with me besides my blood pressure. I am 39 weeks and so could go anytime now. We are just hoping that I do go on my own and have the birth experience we want. So, that is that.

What a day!
