Unofficial bedrest and taking it easy..

So yesterdays 29week appointment with Dr. G was not reassuring :( Momma's pressure was a little high (138 over 83)and Dr G was concerned and said if it went higher then that is very dangerous and the only cure is to deliver the baby early. I told him maybe it was because Momma had a big burrito for lunch and ran across town after work to catch her bus. He didnt think the burrito had anything to do with it but did say momma should take it easy and not run after buses anymore. He said momma should rest a lot more now and lay on her side. He stressed how important this was and he seemed concerened so momma freaked out big time. He also checked momma's urine sample and it was not good. He immediately ordered her to get some blood work done and take a 24 hour urine sample. Thats not going to be fun :( So now momma is going to take it easy and take the cross town bus to work unless she can walk to work without stressing out or running. We'll see. Daddy has been very good with mommy and he is now doing all of the housework while momma rests. We are both very worried but will take it easy and not stress because stress will affect the blood pressure. We will continue monitoring the pressure and take it from there. I hope the urine and blood work come back normal. Dr. G was concerned for momma's kidneys. We'll see. All we can do is pray, take it easy, and eat right. Hang on baby girl! You're not ready to come out yet!
