That's due-date day - tomorrow (3/31)! We'll be topping of the pregnancy with...bedrest? I'm not joking, I went to the doctor today and have been put on bedrest. Well, for all of 1 day. No more work for me (bummer), but also no more playing, if you will. I have to keep my feet up and elevated until I go back to the doctor on Thursday morning (unless labor begins naturally before then).
The doctors are worried that I may have pre-clampsia (also known as toximia). I don't really know what it means, but will be looking it up shortly. My blood pressure has been very steady and good throughout the pregnancy, but skyrocketed today. That, coupled with the very swollen hands, feet/ankles/legs are major signs of pre-clampsia.
The baby and I were both monitored this afternoon, and we are both healthy and happy. Well, baby Joey is happy. Haha!
cutest baby ever

Everything is covered at work. Time to enjoy the quiet. Hope you laid in an ample supply of magazines and chocolates.
Take care of you and baby Joey.
Love, Janie
Did you take your work computer with you home? I'm sure you could crank out a report or two with your feet up!
Just kidding!
Good luck and remember to breathe (or whatever it is you're supposed to do)!

Wait - who has chocolate? I am coming over for a visit - and chocolate.
