Pregnant update

I am one week past due date today and two days ago my blood pressure went up a little higher than the doctor was comfortable with. They looked for other signs of early pre-eclampsia, but everything else seemed fine. He sent me home with instructions to come back Friday for a new check up. Today it didn't seem as good, so he kept me here at the hospital to be able to do closer check ups and have me rest. Same thing as with Alice & Nils, but let's hope I don't develop pre-eclampsia this time.

The best thing would be if Poppy decided to start the delivery by herself. If she doesn't the doctor thinks they might help out a little after the weekend (if I don't get worse before of course). I don't feel sick, so it is actually ok to be here, but I'd rather be home. The good thing is though, that Mats, Alice & Nils only has a 5 minutes walk here, so it is easy for them to visit. They were just here and kept me company when I had dinner. As a reference to American hospital prices I can tell you that it will cost me $12/day to stay here. That includes 3 meals and 2 snacks/day and all the necessary tests and check ups. 

I'll keep you posted on how I feel and meanwhile I also hope to be able to blog a little from the summer. Now that I don't have the possibility to pack up boxes at home, cook dinner or do something else around the house.
