**Update 10-9-went back to the Dr. to get more labs done and turn in my 24 hour jug..got my blood pressure tested and it was 143/90..still up..so now we are just playing the waiting game on my labs and everything to come back..someone asked me if I was worried..but not really..God already knows the plans he has for Michael, Jack and me..so I know it's in HIS hands ;) So no I'm not worried..maybe a little anxious though ;)**
Well today was my 36 week checkup OB appointment..and I was feeling really good about it. I finally felt better after being placed in the hospital 2 weeks ago..I was also excited that there was only 4 more appointments until my due date! Then they checked my blood pressure..it was very high 150/100...which isn't good..so I had to go lay down on my side..hang out for about 30 minutes without moving..and they re-tested it. It was 130/90..so it had went down some. However this is the third week in a row at my appointments that this has happened..it always goes down when I lay on my side/rest..but when they had me get up and walk around the office it shot back up. My Dr. is so awesome..I love her..she says to me.."I won't be getting a Christmas card from you this year..b/c I am putting you on bedrest until Wednesday when I see you again...then we will talk about the situation then." Sooo...that is not what I wanted to hear today..but thankfully Jack is doing great in there..he is dropped down and I am dilated 1cm..and the Dr. said that he can come anytime now and be just fine. She also said today that we would talk more on Wednesday but he would be making his appearance before November just b/c of the way things are going. They also did alot of blood work today..and checking my thyroid again since I had LOST weight at this appointment!! Please pray that Jack just gets here safely and that God's will be done...we can't wait to meet him..

Enjoy the next few days of rest. Not to scare you - BUT - my 36 week appointment happened to be on a Wednesday too. And it was that appointment that I got put on bedrest. And I was dialated to a one as well. And I was also told to come back on Monday. And it was that very next Monday after my Wednesday appointment that Owen was born. Hmmm . . . I see some similarities. Perhaps Jack will be here by Monday!?!?!? :) They had be do a urine test. Did they happent to give you a jug to collect your urine in for 24 hours? (Sorry if this is too personal for the internet. hahaha)
Can't wait to meet your little guy!
Boo to high blood pressure. I hope you are doing better Monday. Good that Jack is doing well though. My doc said we'd talk about a Halloween baby, too, because I'm doing very well. My bp is usually low when I go in. They warn me against standing too fast and sitting too long. Just the opposite of you. I will laugh my head off if our little men are born on the same day!!! I'd love to have him here before Halloween. I always had Halloween themed bday parties and LOVED it. Good luck to you and Jack. Take care and REST REST REST!!!!
I will be praying for you and baby Jack. Just relax and get some rest! Don't worry about Zoe on Sat. We have some other family friends that will watch her. I sure don't think that you need to be chasing after her!
Oh no! I'm so sorry to hear about the bedrest but maybe you can rest up before the little guy makes his appearance! ;) I'm glad to hear you might not have to go to the full 40 weeks - it'll be nice to hold him before then!
Manda, I'm sorry to hear about you being put on bedrest. But we want you and Jack to be safe until it's time for him to come.
