Due to my increased blood pressure, the OB is going to induce labor on Tuesday, May 17, 2011!!!
In the meantime, I've been taking it easy as the doctor has prescribed. Yesterday, Matt and I celebrated our 4 year anniversary - we both couldn't believe how fast the past 4 years have gone by. We didn't get to really celebrate by going out or anything due to my bedrest - but we did continue our tradition of having a nice steak dinner by getting some food to go and eating at home. I have to admit - I'm really sick of being at home. It's sad when you look forward to going to the doctor because that's the only time I really get out of the house. Everyone keeps telling me to take advantage and rest up while I can and I think I've had all the rest I can take - I'm ready to have my life back - I haven't driven a car in 11 days - I want to get out!!!
I'm so excited Tommy is going to be here in 4 days - we're ready for you little guy!

Bump in the Road
This time I really have no excuse for not updating my blog sooner - I've been on 'bedrest' since Monday, so I've had nothing but time on my hands...So why am I on bedrest? I have a mild form of gestation hypertension, basically being pregnant has caused my blood pressure to increase, and when this is untreated it can lead to liver failure and seizures. So, rather than have all that fun, the OB told me I can't work anymore - which was disappointing because now I'm starting my leave time without the baby being here. But - we are probably going to be induced next Monday, May 16, so let's keep hoping for that!!!
Last Saturday we had a baby shower thrown by the "Posse" in Mansfield (the Posse is Grandma and Grandpa Canon's group of friends). We had a great time with friends and family, ate some great Mexican food and delicious cake, and opened TONS of gifts! This little boy really is spoiled and he's not even here yet!! We were overwhelmed by the generosity of everyone - it was very touching. Phyllis and Richard came in for the shower from Madison, MS and John & Anni and Deborah came in from Austin - it was so nice to see our out of town family!!

Beautiful cake decorated by the talented Richetta Lewis!
So now I'll be going to the OB 2x/week (Monday & Thursday) to check on my BP - I hope to be better at keeping the blog updated!!
