Bed Rest

Oh my goodness. I apologize for taking so long to post another update, but I should have plenty of time for that now!

I was officially put on bed rest yesterday morning after leaving school and going to the dr. office because I had a horrible headache and was getting high blood pressure readings in the nurses' office at school.

I went to Dr. Hale's office today for a non stress test which the nurse said looked really good.
Brayden was moving and his heart rate would increase when he moved which it is supposed to do.

My blood pressure was still a little high and Dr. Killeen is worried I am getting pre eclampsia and is admitting me to the hospital at 1:30 this afternoon for my second steroid shot (first one yesterday in his office), lab work and observation of my blood pressure. We have no idea as of now what to expect, how long we will be there or any of that at this point, but I will update as we know more.

We appreciate your prayers during this time as we are a little nervous.
