spoke too soon

I know my last post was full of positive and exciting news, but I think I spoke too soon. Since Monday I have gained FIVE POUNDS, bp has elevated significantly, and swelling has taken full effect. I knew things were too good to be true and I rode the healthy wave as long as I could. Bed rest will start in the next couple of days and I am preparing things around here for the big event. I still feel fortunate to have made it this far. Baby just needs to cook for another two and a half weeks to full term. We can do it!

Hi Jessica, this is Carrie Cook, just reading your blog. I'm at high risk for preterm labor so I do the best rest, preemie baby, all that jazz too. Hang in there!
