Hi Friends,
I bought the bedrest ticket today at my OB appt. He was ready to put me in the hospital with my blood pressure, it was pretty high, but I talked him into upping my BP medicine and sending me home on bedrest....it is starting to come back down now....geez, guess I have to finish knitting little one's cardigan now....
The good news is that all of the "pre-eclampsia" labs all came back perfectly fine, and I am on the books for an induction next week...but my cervix is not dilated AT ALL...and the polyhydraminos is worse, baby is still staying very high.
Thanks, Ladies, I am almost there....can't wait to let you know when our little lassie is here!!! BTW, her name is Lily Ann Therese 
UPDATE--Lily was born on Tuesday, I broke my water early in the morning, and off we went. For it being my seventh pregnancy, it was one of the hardest labors....and now, dear Friends, please pray for Lily....she does indeed have the same jaw problems as my last son....she is in NICU, and having a tracheostomy placed on Tuesday..she has a cleft palate, and is likely to need a feeding tube placed as well, right now they are feeding her thru a temp. one in her nose.....This is such a familiar trip, we have been on this path before, my last son had multiple surgeries and kept his trach for five years......we might be able to shorten this with Lily, they are doing certain procedures sooner now for little ones with this problem. We anticipate her being in NICU for close to a month. Did I mention how utterly breathtaking it is to have a girl? How precious she is, her dainty girl fingers are so sweet...she has the chubbiest cheeks EVER...and lots of light brown wavy hair...she settles down when Mama talks to her...opens her eyes and looks around very alert. I know looking at my six year old, that Lily will be fine, but it is going to be another long road filled with surgeries, and bumps along the way. She has lots of love in this house, we will get through...
I have to go pump....I am sick I can't breastfeed, her jaw is so short, she has a hard time latching on,and it is very taxing to her right not. Please pray for my four lads....and my wonderful dh who just started a new job five weeks ago....
I hold all of you in prayer...I'll update when I can.

Praying!!!
If/when we have another baby and it's a girl, my 5-yo has been begging that we call her Lily, or Lilianne! She's sitting here, tickled pink about your baby's name.

 I hated bedrest! I will pray for you during this time.
You will have lots of sacrifices to offer though. I wasn't a Catholic at the time of my bedrest and I look back at it and I can't believe I wasted all of that!
