I had a lot of emails this morning about why I am on bed rest, so I thought I should fill everyone in. My blood pressure has been a bit too high, so my doctor decided it was time for me to get some rest at home. Since hanging out at home, the blood pressure seems to be in check and the massive swelling in my feet, ankles and legs has almost completely gone away- although it is apparent if I am up at all during the day because it comes back very quickly!
Otherwise I am in good shape and Jackson is doing great! He weighed 5 1/2 lbs at the doctor yesterday and was measuring right on schedule at 34 weeks. The doctor gave me a series of steroid shots to help his lungs mature in case he decides to make an appearance before September 10th. This is a picture of him taken on July 11th, I hope you can see the mischievous smirk on his face! I think he is going to be a handful!!
