Last week my doctor put me on bedrest due to pregnancy induced hypertension. They ran a bunch of tests, monitored me in labor and delivery, did an ultrasound, basically the works. Right now the only symptom I have is the high blood pressure but they are monitoring me pretty closely, they are worried about me developing preeclampsia.
The good news is that I'm doing great besides the high blood pressure and that Violet is doing an awesome. In our ultrasound yesterday she was measuring a little over 4lbs. Bottom line is that I'm on bedrest pretty much until the end so no work, no shopping which means I'm pretty much going crazy with boredom. But hey, I'm going to do what I have to do to keep Violet and myself healthy.
The doctors also assure me it is not because of my weight that I developed the high blood pressure, it just happens to some people during pregnancy. My numbers weren't this high even before band surgery.
My days pretty much consist of sleeping, reading and watching tv with a little bit of crafting thrown in. I am starved for conversation as Marc works two jobs so I am alone a lot of the time. It's hard but I know I will make it.
This is a quick blog post as I wanted to get this update out and I'm trying to make myself sleepy enough for bed so I don't toss and turn and keep Marc up.

I'm sure you're going nuts but at least you have blogs to keep you busy and dreaming about your baby. She'll be here before you know it!
I was on bedrest for 6 weeks with my twins. It can be hard but its so worth it in the end. Enjoy the time that you have to yourself as once the baby comes...you will be so busy. Sending you good wishes!!!
Keep those feet up and bake little Violet as long as you can! Take care of yourself and all will be ok.
please just rest and do what the Dr tells you. Before you know it, she will be here and you will wish you could see a little more of your bed! Take this time just for you!
Wishing you a safe and uneventful remainder of your pregnancy!

I'm with Jacquie, just stay off your feet as much as possible. Before long, you'll get NO quality time with the bed. :)
That stinks you have to be on bedrest, but we want you both healthy!
