Week 35 Update...Happy Valentine's Day?

Week 35 brought higher blood pressure and unexpected news from the doctor that I had to go on bed rest. Baby Caleb's vitals were all OK. My doctor is looking out for us. Most of you know I have been quite a workaholic. What a big change for me to be at home resting. I must say, I surprised myself when I am actually looking forward to resting. I now know I can nap during the day when I don't sleep well after getting up 3-4 times a night for the restroom. With Steve's mega DVD collection, I should not have any shortage of entertainment. I plan to read up on recipes, read some books and crochet. I go to the doctor again on Wednesday. At that visit they will again measure Caleb to see how big he is. I wonder how much he has grown in 2 weeks. The ultrasound tech gave us a picture of his hair Thursday. I got emotional after seeing that. Both Steve and I are really getting excited to meet our son in person.

My thoughtful husband has planned for us to celebrate Valentine's Day a month early on 1/14/08. He said I would either be in the hospital delivering a baby or we would have the baby at home by that time so we will have a nice dinner early.
