Bed rest...yep, I'm on it.

Tuesday after work I noticed that my right foot was really swollen. No big deal, it happens but my MIL picked DD up from dance class so I could keep my feet up.  Yesterday when I went to work my foot was throbbing and was purple and cold.I'm stubborn so I continued with my work day although I wasn't really feeling right at all. At around 11 I couldn't bare to sit, stand or breathe. I was very dizzy and evererything was blurry and I decided it would be best forms to call the doctor and go home.   The doctor wanted to see me immediately.   By the time I got to the dr I was feeling sick. Evidently my  blood pressure was really high but they didn't tell me what it was. Doc ran tests and did an ultrasound I had protien in my urine also. Luckily the Blood pressure went down or he was admitting me for observation. So...now I'm on bed rest and I have to check my BP throughout the day. If anything changes I have to immediately go to L&D.  

What do I do now ladies. Good books?  Movies?  TV shows? I know a lot of you have been here before.

I really thought I was going to make it. I had been joking withmy boss and coworkers that my water was going to break at work.

I'm so sorry to hear that, but at least they caught it before everything went further south.  I have a question about going on bed rest.  Are you guys still able to work or will you have to leave work?  If you have to leave work completely, will you go on short term disability or go without pay?  I have a call into my HR department that is not as resposive as they should be seeking some info about this.  However, I thought I would see what you guys were doing??  Best of luck to you guys on bedrest....I'm so scared to be joining that team, but I guess its a possibility with multiples on board!

Im actually waiting to hear frommy boss. I work in a small law office. He doesn't have to pay me but I am hoping that he is going to work something out with me. I can work from home. I just need the ok from him. I don't have short term disability so if no pay from work my family and I will struggling in a few weeks. I do know I'll get my regular pay check till March 15th with my earned time off but April and May will suck vic time.

Im sorry!  Bedrest sucks, but I have to admit that I would love to go back for one or two full days of bedrest.   Sounds so heavenly now!  Enjoy it and do all things for you.  The babies will be here  soon!!

On my bed rest I spent waaay too much time on the internet, watched shows and movies on netflix such as the ever classy 'Teen Mom' and '16 and Pregnant', started a cross-stitch (never did finish), I'm also a a Jodi Picoult book fan.  As much as it stinks try to make the best of it and keep a routine every day.
