Pregnancy Update

I would appreciate your prayers if you think about me and baby. Yesterday I just didn't feel quite right, nothing I could put my finger on, other than extreme exhaustion from insomnia. So Dh and I went in to the Dr. to get my blood pressure checked. Unfortunately my regular dr. wasn't in, which I was sad about. But anyway, my blood pressure was 172/115 which is way too high. High blood pressure isn't anything new to me during pregnancy but it has never been that high, even when they chose to induce B#8 because of it. They did blood work and a non-stress test on baby and all of that was fine so they put me on a high blood pressure medicine called Lobetalol, which makes me feel kind of yucky in a different sort of way. But we do praise the Lord that so far that is all that needs to be done. I had read online that they might hospitalize you, induce the baby if at all possible or put you on bed rest and honestly, none of those things sounded good to me. So for now they will watch and see how things progress. I will probably be going to the dr. once a week instead of every two weeks until the end. But again, praise the Lord that the baby is doing well and I do not have any signs of preeclampsia.
