[Nielsen Family] Why the lack of updates

[Rachel Nielsen]

Sorry for the lack of updates lately. Things have been a little crazy with this pregnancy lately and so it probably won't get much better for a little while. The last couple of weeks I have averaging about 4 days a week in the dr's office or in labor & delivery. My blood pressure is high and I have been on and off bedrest and now am on VERY strict bedrest as of yesterday. The baby is doing great so far-so that is good. After spending the afternoon/evening in labor & delivery yesterday, they decided that the best possible thing was for me to be as flat as possible on my side for my blood pressure to go down. So I am in bed and I am sure I will be here until delivery. The baby can come at any time, so it is just a waiting game. I will know more on Monday after completing some more lab work this weekend. I have never had to deal with high blood pressure before normally or with any of my other pregnancies, so this is all new. It is scary, but I am just glad that Bentley is still doing well. All of the kids spent the afternoon yesterday and then the night with my parents and we are so grateful for all of the help :) I hope you all are having a great holiday weekend!
