To Bed Rest, or Not to Bed Rest? That is the question.

Well i enjoyed several weeks of freedom from bedrest, but it appears i am back there again. My blood pressure is jumping up again, and is only up when i'm up, if i lay down it goes back to normal, go figure, this has been the problem most of the pregnancy. It had resolved for almost a month, everything was better, and now it's not again. We aren't really sure why it all of a sudden got worse again, but it means we're probably still looking at an early delivery. But just how early is up to the Dr. I have an appointment this week on Friday with the dr and i'll be 34 weeks, both Elaine and Katie were born at 35, so i don't know if they'll want me to wait one more week just to hit 35 or if they'll just decide to stop messing with my body and take the little guy out at 34. I really don't know. But either way it feels like we could be looking at little Catcher's face within the next two weeks sometime. I'm scared and excited all at the same time. It's a lot to take in. I had gotten used to the idea that since i was doing better that maybe i could go full term for once, or at least much closer to it, and the idea of taking home a baby the same time i go home, i mean wow, that would be awesome, i've never had that before and i was really starting to feel like it could be a reality! But alas it appears that may not be the case. Although his health will not be bad by being born this early he may still spend a week or two in the NICU simply for being early, i don't know. A lot of unknowns still, but rest assured i'll certainly let everyone know when Catcher arrives, whenever it may be.
