Not the "plan"

My last day of work was supposed to be yesterday, Friday 6/24.

I was going to start swimming in the evenings and relax and float around.

There were things to clean, nesting that I had the urge to do and laundry in the dryer.

Relaxing and grabbing lunch with my friends was on my to-do list.

But apparently life has other plans...because

I've been here since Tuesday night.

Monday at my Dr.'s appointment I was told i needed to be done with work.

Looked like pre-eclampsia was creeping up.

My feet were horribly swollen.

My blood pressure was going up.

So the Dr. ordered tests, and me to admit myself for observation.

I cried. Alot.

I showered.

I packed an overnight bag.

I left the house in my terms, a mess.

And i've been in since then.

Luckily, I think things happened for a reason. After my initial frustration and sadness, I came to terms with it. Nothing I can do to change it...so embrace it. So here I lay. I've been laying. And laying some more. My swelling decreased. So did my blood pressure. Blood counts went up. Tests came back negative, throwing Dr's for a loop. So I stayed. And I think it's what was needed to get my body back to a better place for our little one.

I've slept. And slept. AND SLEPT.

I've watched a lot of HGtv.

And foodnetwork.

I've checked facebook more times than should be legal.

I've done some easy crosswords.

I've prayed.

I've had kind visitors to pass my time and show me they care :)

And Dave has been wonderful. I love that man. He is a do-er when it needs to be done. He has sat with me. Watched TV with me. Went home and cleaned the house for me. Went to Target for me. Has taken care of the dog. And he is in the process of getting cheesecake from the Cheesecake Factory for me. He has been kind and loving. And I know it must not be easy for him.

So here's to relaxing! Now I think I'll try to finish a crossword puzzle...
