I was able to get a doctor's appointment this morning, rather than waiting until Tuesday.
My blood pressure decreased to within normal limits! Wahoo!
Regardless, Dr. Kagan made the decision to keep me on modified bed rest for the rest of the week. I guess because my blood pressure responded to the bed rest. I have another appointment on Friday at 11:30am and he'll make the decision as to whether or not I'm done working for the rest of my pregnancy.
Here I sit on the couch watching daytime T.V. while Trip and Pepper play.
I have received many emails and texts from my friends at school. My favorite one was from my friend and 3rd grade teacher, Penny Ose. She sent me a picture of one of my students with the simple message "Miss You!" My friend, Sandy Riesner even stopped by with a fun little bed rest gift!
Nothing more could have brightened my day, I sure am one lucky girl to have such great friends!
