We made it another week. Tomorrow will be the beginning of week 33. My blood pressures have remained in the 130/140s over 80/90s range. Still getting sick on the meds sometimes. Monday was the worst...I was so miserable that I ended up sleeping 15 of the 24 hours in the day, I just felt like my body was wasting away. I even called my doc's office because I was so lightheaded that I couldn't take a shower.
We have our next appt on Monday. I'm REALLY hoping that he decides it is time to deliver at the 34-week mark and not hold out to the 36 week mark. I know in my head it is better for the baby, and I would probably do it if he thought I would be able to.
But I'm so tired of feeling horrible all the time, especially being on strict bedrest for 4 weeks now. Mentally and physically, it is just exhausting. I can't really read books or magazines because my eyesight gets blurry after a short while. I can't get into movies because I just don't seem to have a very long attention span these days. I'm really worried about my hubby because he is really stressed out, especially with having to take care of me, the kids, the housework, his job, and everything else (he truly is my superman). I'm worried about A because she has really been acting out lately, hating the fact that mommy won't play with her, and wondering why mommy seems sick all of the time. She's been acting out at preschool, and even was a troublemaker yesterday at a playdate she had. E is actually handling it best of all.
I can't wait to meet this little girl. We have her name already picked out, and I just want to deliver her and meet her and hold her already.

Poor A. She has to be really confused as to why her active Mommy isn't active right now. She'll be ok..... once her baby sister is here and Mommy is up and moving around. Bed rest is no fun. I completely remember the discomfort and side effects of the meds, so I'm with you in spirit.
ITA bed rest is no fun and it stinks to be inactive when you are a very active person. A & E will bounce back and will be better once baby gets here, you'll see!
I'm sending tons of positive thoughts to you and Robert (and the kids) to get through these last days/weeks until the baby arrives. I am sorry this is so hard on all of you!
