Well, I had my follow up appt with my doc and my blood pressure was better and my NST went great -- Rose was moving all over the place. However, I still got put on modified bedrest, which means I need to be laying down a lot during the day, but I can still do laundry, and some chores, so I'm not completely confined to a bed. Whatever I have to do to get little Rose here safely, I will.
We got a new car this weekend! It's a 2008 Kia Sportage. We tried putting our car seat in both of our cars last week and it just wasn't happening, so we traded them in to get the Sportage. Now, the carseat fits great and we have a lot more room, not to mention just one car and insurance payment a month now!
Other than that, not much else is new. Rose is feeling a little lower and is on my cervix more. Who knows if it's really doing anything, though. I can't wait until she gets here!

33 weeks!
4 more weeks until I'm full term!!
I had my shower yesterday, and it was awesome!! Katie, Erin, and Jesika did such a phenomenal job. I seriously couldn't have asked for a better shower. We got so many great gifts and today, we went out and returned a few things we had, and bought some things we needed including my breast pump, and now we're good to go!
I had my 32 week appointment last week with my doc. My blood pressure was way too high. I didn't have in protein in my urine (good news), but she decided to take blood work anyways to check on pre-e and I was on strict orders this weekend and Monday to rest as much as I can. I go back in on Tuesday to have my blood pressure taken again and also a NST and we'll go from there. Hopefully, my blood pressure will be a little lower and perhaps I can go back to work and not be put on permanent bedrest. She said from now on they'll be keeping a really close eye on my blood pressure and we'll be going from week to week to see how things are going. There's also a possibility that once I hit full term (38 weeks), an induction might be necessary if my blood pressure keeps creeping up. I'm trying to keep my head up.
Rose also dropped a little last week. I can breathe much easier and I feel a lot more comfortable, though my hips are hurting more. It's much more comfortable than a few weeks ago, though. :)

32 weeks!
Obviously, I am suffering from pregnancy brain syndrome because I totally spaced writing a 31 week update. BOO! Nothing much happened that week. Rose is just getting bigger and bigger and much easier to see from the outside. I also got a horrid sinus infection and was sick for over 3 days, even with antibiotics. Yuck!
This week was much better. I went back to work and was back into my old routine. For one day this week, my hips were a little more sore than normal and I couldn't walk near as fast as I normally do, but then yesterday I had little to no pain and was booking it down Walmart aisles, so she's not any lower than she was.
Yesterday, my mom and I hit up a huge consignment sale in Evansville. I got lots of clothes, a changing pad, a monitor system, bath tub, and Boppy for only 87 dollars! The clothes were only like 48 of those 87 dollars, too, and I got tons! We also went to Walmart and got a few more things I needed for the nursery, so it's almost done! Little odds and ends left and then I'll be ready for her grand entrance!!
The pics at the top are of my normal 32 week pregnant stomach laying down and then the second one is when I start to sit up. Rose's new nickname is alien. ;)
