Thanks to all..

I just wanted to say thank you to all my family and friends that were at my baby shower today! It meant so much to me. I got so many things. I am very grateful to have so many people that care about me and love me! I will post pictures from the shower later. Once I get her room together and complete then I will post pictures of the nursery as well.  

Bed rest it is...

I went to the doctor today. We have come to the conclusion that it will be best for mine and Payton's health to be on bed rest the remainder of my pregnancy. Payton is head down, I am hoping she will stay that way. I kind of knew she was from the different movements I have been getting from her. I think now I can tell the difference between a foot, a hand, or a bottom. Her heart rate sounded good as always. I am going for another ultrasound in 3 weeks just to make sure she is still growing properly. I gained 1 pound in the past two weeks so total I have gained 10 pounds. I am very please with that, just means less to lose after I have her. 10 more weeks and our little one will be here with us!! I can't wait!! 

29 Weeks

Best rest already???

I talked to my doctor today. My blood pressure has gone up the past week. She told me to go ahead and plan on my last day of work being next Tuesday the 17th. I really didn't think that it would be this earlier. But she told me she is being cautious and doesn't want me working the rest of my pregnancy. She said I am treating you the way I would want someone to treat someone in my family. Which was a good thing to hear from your doctor. I still have 10 1/2 weeks till I have her. So this will probably get pretty boring. I would rather be safe than sorry. I just want Payton to be healthy and come when she is ready. It will all be official at my next appointment, which is next Wednesday. She wants me to take my blood pressure twice a day. At my appointment she will look at it and make the "final" decision. She said she would give me all the paperwork on Wednesday to take to work. Therefore, I went ahead and told work and am preparing myself for her to say I will be on bed rest the remainder of my pregnancy. 

Two appointments in one week...

I went to the Dr. yesterday to have my growth and hypertension ultrasound. Payton is weighing 2lbs 8oz. She is in the 59 percentile. She was once again putting her hand in her mouth. She also had both feet up by her face, looked as though she was trying to suck her toes. Saturday she was head down, yesterday she was breech. She has some chubby cheeks and she does have some hair on the back of her head. They said everything looked as it should. She is a growing baby!

Today I went to my Dr. for my normal checkup. Payton's heartbeat is 150 bpm. Which is normal. The Dr. is not concerned yet that she is breech. When I get to 32 weeks and if she still hasn't turned then she will be concerned. We talked about bed rest. At this time she is ok with me continuing to work. She said definitely no more than 40 hours of work per week. When I go back in 2 weeks she will reevaluate her decision on bed rest, as she will do from now on. I have a feeling I will be put on bed rest sooner than what I was planning on taking off. But let's hope I can make it at least another 2 months!

Here are a few pictures of her sweet little face
