Still on Bed Rest

We went to the doctor yesterday and my blood pressure is still really high. She put me on medicine and wants to see me again on Friday. She talked about inducing labor, but wants to wait until I start to dilate. I am hoping that tomorrow something different will happen. Maybe I will have started dilating (not likely) or she will decide to just go ahead and induce. Anyway, the medicine makes me feel very weird and I just don't like that. So, just pray that something happens tomorrow. We are ready for Ava to get here and tired of all this stress.

In other news, I am posting a picture from the baby shower we had at church on Sunday. My friend Kristie G. hosted the shower and it was great. Lots of goodies to eat and lots of yummy presents to open. We had a good time. Thanks Kristie!

The cute wreath pictured was made by my friends Stephanie D. and Tammy W. It is so adorable, I just had to take a picture. It is made of diapers and then attached to those are tons of little cute things. There are some washcloths, nail clippers, bottle brushes, bottles, a cute pair of shoes, and tons of other little goodies. It is just precious and hanging on Ava's door right now.





Last night I got my hospital bag packed and ready so we can go when the doctor says its time or I go into labor by myself. While I was gathering things together and getting ready to put them in my bag, I noticed the bag moving. It was a stowaway. I guess Paisley is wanting to go the hospital too. Isn't she adorable!
Well, that is pretty much all the news here. I will let you all know what the doctor says tomorrow. Just be praying that I dilate some! The sooner Ava comes, the better!

Love, Tiff

Starting back to work... and stopping work

Well, today was my first day back to work. Inservice; not the best thing! So, I had a dr's appt at the end of the day. Needless to say, my blood pressure was so high that I am now on bed rest and cannot work until after the baby is born. My reading this morning before I left for school was 142/93 at home. By the time I got to the dr's office, it was up to 160/104. So, I am now at home and resting. I go back to the dr. on Wednesday and if it is still high, I will be put on medication and then we will begin to discuss inducing labor. She wants me to get to 37 weeks (which is this Friday) and then go from there.

All in all, I have had a miserable day and don't think I could have lasted much longer working. Just remember me in your thoughts and prayers and I will keep you all posted! Who knows, Ava might be coming earlier than we thought!

Love, Tiff
