Bed Rest! Really?!

As I have been experiencing some odd situations during my pregnancy, my doctor has placed me on bed rest.  I know that I am definitely not the only woman in the world that this has happened to, but they believe that I have pre-eclampsia and it is down right scary and dangerous.  It really started with some simple hot-flashes and a racing heart rate, and has turned into protein in my urine, extreme swelling, headaches, pubic pain, high blood pressure...just to name a few.  I had to go to the hospital tonight so that they could run some tests (drew some blood and taking A LOT of urine).  To be honest I am a bit nervous, but my doctor assured me that baby Justin is completely fine...it is me that is the problem!



What I am really saying is that I will be home on my back with my feet above my head a lot, so if you know any good books...hook me up!
