Yes, that is correct. I have been put on bedrest due to high blood pressure. Friday was my last day at work and now I'm just trying to take it easy before the baby comes. Throughout the pregnancy, my blood pressure has been an issue but over the last couple of weeks it has gotten too high. There is also protein my urine.
At my regular appt several weeks ago, the doctor told Dave and I that if my protein levels got too high and if my blood pressure kept rising, they were going to induce me. Well, it seems as if that time is here. At yesterday's appt, my BP was 150/90 which was elevated. My protein levels when I first become pregnant were 112, last month they were 302 and now they are 432. I have no idea what that really means except that it's high. I have a Non Stress Test on Thurdsay were they will also do a blood test to check my liver function.
Overall, I feel fine and little baby Gracie has been moving all over the place. Her heartrate has been perfect and she frequently kicks Mommy in the ribs and jumps on her bladder! Dave and I are a little dissappointed that it appears I will not be able to carry her to term but we are a little happy to be able to meet her a bit early! I will keep everyone posted!
Dave and I bought a new camera this weekend and Dave has been taking some awesome pics of the nursery. I will post soon!

Hi guys -
So sorry to hear about this but at least Gracie is doing well and the doctor is making sure that you do too Susan! One month early is not bad - carrying her this far is a great accomplishment! Enjoy these last few moments before you become a family of three!!! Can't wait to see her!
The O's
