Mommy got sick...

Mommy was getting very swollen - a little too swollen. I had an appointment this particular day. I took my lunch break and went to the doctor for a regular checkup. When the nurse took my blood pressure, she asked if I had come up the stairs. Being that I was 7 months pregnant - I almost laughed think "are you kidding me?" I told her that I had been sitting on the couch for 20 minutes. She looked very concerned and walked away. They immediately sent me over to the hospital to run tests. They told me that I had pregnancy induced hypertention. I was sent home on bedrest and had to lay down at all times. My blood pressure would spike if I even sat up. Within two weeks, my state went into pre-eclampsia. I was in and out of the hospital several times. They were trying to keep me pregnant without risking either of us. It was a hard and emotional two weeks.
