Mom to the rescue.....(w/ a little help from a dear neighbor and friends)

It started on Tuesday, November 13. My dear neighbor saw me and said that me face had literally swelled up over night (funny...my eye lids did feel kind of puffy!). So, she walked me in and made me take my blood pressure, (I LOVE this lady! She is a "little" older then me...her kids are older than mine and she takes such good care of me! I adore her!) and it was high. I promised her I would take it easy and keep checking my blood pressure. I had a doctor's appointment on Thursday (she said I'd better or she would call my mom! I think she might have anyway :)). I also got a headached that evening. Flash forward to Thursday at my doctor's appointment and my blood pressure was high. He did lab work and a 24 hour urine (Eddie had to drop my urine off Friday...he was thrilled. He said he was headed to the urine depot), and told me to go home on modified "bed rest" and come back on Monday. My friends (I'm so lucky!) took the kiddos for a good portion of the day on Thursday and Friday. And, my dear neighbor showed up and washed all of our dishes and fed us dinner. And, my mom (who wasn't due to fly in for another week) offered to come. I told her I'd be fine for another week, but she is coming anyway (which is what I wanted her to say, of course :)) So...YIPEE! My mom will be here tomorrow and is staying for over a month! Can't wait....
My doctor got my lab results back and said they were good. But, he also said that if my blood pressure remains high (and it has so far this weekend), he would deliver me this week. EEK! Not sure I'm quite ready for that......
So, if you have been trying to reach me or I haven't got back to you on email...this is why. I'm "resting". Stay tuned this week. I'm teaching Eddie how to down load photos of the new baby on this blog!
