Today I went to my doctor for a routine appointment. I was telling the doctor that my right hand swelled up drastically 2 days ago and was seeing spots. He became concerned since my blood pressure was elevated (in the 150's.) So he sent me to the hospital to be monitored at the L&D department.
So off to the hospital Matt and I went. For an hour, they monitored my blood pressure and the fetal heart monitor. It turns out that my labs and blood pressure were all normal. Our little one is extremely healthy (thank heavens!) I'm 80% effaced, 1cm dilated, and our little one is head down right now.
At one point, the nurse looked at me during the exam and asked, "Do you have any pain right now?" I told her that I was experiencing some discomfort every once in a while, but it wasn't intolerable. She told that that I was contracting. She showed me my strip and sure enough I was.
So as of today, I'm officially on Maternity leave. Thank heavens cause I'm exhausted! I need to get all the sleep I can get before our little one arrives.

Wow. Gotta hate those health scares. I'm glad you and your little one are fine!
That's good that everything turned out alright. Maybe you will be having a Christmas or a New Years baby?! Either way, I hope that it all continues to go well for you! Enjoy your maternity leave!
