Rest and Relaxation (Except for all the peeing...)

Well I've got a couple updates from our doctor's appointment yesterday. The Squishter has officially "dropped" and all indicators point to an on-time delivery (relatively speaking -- as in, probably in the next week or so). Huzzah!

I had been feeling "different" since Friday night, and was happy to hear the doctor confirm my own feelings that there was a change in the wind (or the womb). For one thing, I've gone from peeing every couple hours during the day to more like every thirty minutes. I got up six times last night. I guess it's training for baby feedings!

The only bad news is that my blood pressure is up a bit again -- it has hovered around the too high mark the whole pregnancy. So they've ordered me to "semi bed rest." Which basically means that I'm supposed to spend as much time as possible lying down with my feet elevated. Luckily, my plans for this week mostly involved reading books and watching movies so I don't think it'll be too much of a hardship!!
