Everything is going smoothly......there were just a few bumps in the road today. I had to have some blood work done because again my blood pressure was higher then it has been (140/98) but after I laid on my side for a little while it came back down. The Midwife still ordered some blood work and I have to pee in a bottle for 24 hours--fun stuff. The baby is way down low and the heart rate was 152 which is higher than it has been lately too but he/she was moving a lot while the midwife was pushing on me.
I had the GBS test done today also, that was very uncomfortable. I feel good and the midwife did not seem very concerned about the blood pressure stuff. I guess everyone has to have a few bumps in the road during pregnancy most people just have sickness and some have gustational diabetes, I apprently will have periodic high blood pressure.
The midwife also indicated that I may be working my way down to a four hour work day also, I will have to see how that will affect my time off and working at home and what not. I will go crazy if I have to stay home for potentially the next 5 weeks.

I think everything is fine with the blood pressure, but we will see what the tests say. She is carrying a lot of weight around, has a lot of extra blood, and is getting close to her due date, all of which I think contribute to this happening. I am a bit concerned, only because the nurse ordered a few tests, but I think everything will be fine.
