It was in fact high, (167/110) so high, they sent me to my doctor who sent me to the hospital. Carson and I waited in labor and delivery hooked up to monitors while numerous tests were performed to check on our baby girl. Good news, Elizabeth is doing well. Mommy is the one who needs to take it easy. I have been put on home bed rest until we deliver, which means, no school and no activity. I didn't even get to meet my students today. :-(
I am looking on the bright side and know this is all for the best. I will do anything to protect my little girl. I want to make sure she is strong and healthy when she enters this world!
I have to check my blood pressure from home and will check in with my doctor frequently- watching for other symptoms. I know it will all be okay and there is no use getting stressed or upset, especially since I am trying to keep stress from happening. I am leaving my classes with my dear friend and co-teacher Marianne! I feel terrible that I am missing out, especially these first few weeks, but she is an amazing teacher and will do a wonderful job! We worked hard to plan for this school year, but I can rest easy that it's all in good hands.
Most importantly, I just need our little girl to stay put for a few more weeks...we need those lungs strong! I will keep updates on our blog and hopefully will add photos of the house renovation, new floors and other updates. I do have a sneak peek at Elizabeth's nursery...it's not complete, but will be soon. My Mom and Carson will have to finish it up! Back to bed I go...this is already getting old. Need good books, movies and Netflix suggestions.
