On Monday, November 29, 2009, I go to the doctor for a normal check-up and realize my blood pressure had majorly gone up to 146/90... that's very high for me. So, I got the shocking blow that I'd be put on bed rest until Gage arrives... approximately eight weeks. For someone who can't slow down, let alone stop, I was a crying mess. Had about three hours to go back to work and tell them my news. I hated breaking the news as I love my coworkers and job, but it's what's best for Gage and me, so that's what needed to be done.
I've had some great friends offer up meals, movies, books, etc. to get me through the time. I know it'll be fine, but I'm having a hard time seeing Kim do EVERYTHING around the house. He doesn't mind, but it's hard for me to see him cook, clean, do laundry, get me things, try to have a normal night, work, etc. He's SUPERMAN!
I pray for patience and for my sweet Gage to continue to grow and stay in there until at least January 1. Why January 1? Well, it's a mental milestone for me to look forward to and also, that'll make him 36+ weeks so I know he'll be fine if he makes his appearance slightly early.
