Strict House Arrest... I mean Bedrest :(

I still can't believe how it all happened so fast. From one day to the next, my blood pressure rose to over 140/90. I blamed every little thing other than my blood pressure. I was in complete denial. I kept saying its a fluke and it'll be better tomorrow. I was also hesitant to call and tell Dr. Golin what was going on but Will made me. So Thursday I called him and sure enough, he flipped and demanded I go on strict bedrest. :( I was shocked, still disbelieving and still thinking I could go to work one more day next week. I took a deep breath and started chopping away at my work claims to try really hard to leave them in a understandable order. Feeling so bad i couldn't close them before i left. I hate giving people my work to do but what can you do. I hope my pressure goes down a bit because I really want to go into work on Wednesday just to send off a few more letters I never got to do. I felt so weak and helpless on Thursday when I got the news. I am only 34 weeks. :( I know girls who were doing 5k runs at 34 weeks. Oh well. So I finally forced myself to leave work at around 9pm planning to catch a cab to my commuter bus on the freezing night. But as MY luck would have it, I encountered the coldest most ruthless New Yorkers who stole three cabs from right under my nose. Those SOB's took advantage of the fact that I was waddling and would rush ahead of me and flag down the cab that was on its way to me. Those people are lucky that this pregnancy has me floating in la la land and i'm the sweetest I ever have been or else I would have gone postal. They are sooooo lucky I got a precious gift in my belly or else they would have heard it from me. Oh yeah, don't mess with me! But alas, I was forced to just dry my tears and waddle over four blocks away and wait 20 more minutes to catch a crosstown bus to take me to my commuter bus. Oh and it gets better. I caught cold #4!! Why meeee!? This horrible Thursday evening experience was like the final seal on the deal that I am sooooooo over everything and need to just relax and take it easy at home until the princess arrives.

So princess, mommy is all yours. She is on strict house arrest, i mean BEDREST and will relax laying down until you decide its time to make your grand entrance. My world, my life, my everything is in your hands. You dictate the future. And you're alllllllllllllllll worth it, my little baby girl.
