Oh Ann, I never thought I would truly understand how you felt about the jug o' pee until I got the chance last night to experience it myself.
Bleh, and I'm on bed rest for at least a week. Which sucks hardcore btw.
So the story goes that I went in for my routine check up yesterday with my doctor. My pressure, after the nurse took it for the third time was 143/98- very bad. The doctor came in and checked it herself- it was 143/92-not too much better. I got to go to L&D triage to be monitored and checked for pre-e-fun? Not so much (i was really hungry). The tests all came back normal-I'm not swelling or anything but my pressure goes up when I sit up, stand up or lay flat. So I am supposed to lay on my right side or left side for at least the next week.
Of course I have a ton of crap to do-which includes finishing the nursery and my blanket.
Anyway, if the urine comes back with protein in it there is a pretty decent chance I'll be induced this week. Hopefully, everything will be normal and we won't have to worry about it. I am so not ready for this baby yet. But it's going to be what it's going to be, I suppose.
In the mean time I am going to do my best to take it easy. At the very least I'll finish packing my hospital bag (just in case) and do whatever left over baby laundry I have to do (only a few things). Ray can work it out with my FIL the rest of the nursery. With any luck the baby won't be here early and I can go naturally, like I want to.
So, that's it for now.

It's all fun and games until they make you pee in a jug

Hang in there! And let me know if you need me to come by and help out with anything.
Let me know if you need anything/want company/are in the mood for some phone conversation. Or if you have jug o pee questions because you KNOW I am a pro. Stupid jug! I am here and will be the rest of the day.
Sending you non-inducing thought!!!
**hugs** to you Chrissy! This was me at the exact same point in the pregnancy. My blood pressure #s were almost exactly the same and my OB decided to "ground" me. Grrrrr. I remember doing a lot of knitting and I watched almost the ENTIRE series of Gilmore Girls on DVD during that blessed 1 1/2 weeks of bedrest. Hang in there! This too shall pass.
