A few more days to go

It has been nice being off of work. A lot of stress is gone, and my days are filled with Sean's love, and Drew's of course too. So here has what has happened.
I have been feeling fine now that I am able to take it easy. I still take Sean to school Tues. thru Thursday. Other than that I try to stay in with my feet up. I do take an occasional trip to Dunkin Donuts with Sean to get our donut fix. I have only done this twice walking. Well, this past Thursday the weather was changing to prepare for some rain. My allergies were fine, but I had some asthmatic problems that would not go away that day. I was out of the house for most of the afternoon, taking Sean to school, getting a hair cut and picking up Drew from work. I got home, relaxed and ate dinner and my asthma was getting worse and I was just sitting on the couch watching Survivor and Don't Forget the Lyrics. I was coughing a lot and did not want this asthma to deprive the baby of any oxygen and I was worried it would still get worse. So I told Drew that we may be going for a visit to the hospital after I called the Dr. She told me to go in to get checked out and recieve a breathing treatment. I was so glad that I went in, even though it seemed silly to me because everything was o.k. with the baby, but now they were concerned about my health. They did the normal check-ups and my blood pressure would not go down. I was lying in a bed for 2 hours at the hospital and it was still in the 140's and 150's over something. I just knew it was high and cannot be controlled. By the third hour it was finally 123 over something. So I received a breathing treatment and some lab work to see what is going on with the BP, and they let me go home at 2:00 a.m. I was so happy that they didn't have to induce me then because of my bp, but I do really have to watch it now, because I can just feel my hands swollen and my feet puffing up sometimes, and I am eager for this to stop.

I am going in for a follow up visit on Monday and another check-up on Wednesday. I know baby Collin will be here within the next 10 days. But at least he hald off so I can have my wonderful shower that my sister is throwing me this Sunday. I cannot wait to get together with friends and family. Well, that is all for now, I will update the progress as it happens.
