All Strapped Up

Not sure if we mentioned this, but my perinatologist (high risk doctor) advised me to buy a blood pressure cuff 2 months ago. I have to take my BP twice a day to make sure it's staying in line. Unfortunately this weekend it went out of wack. It was starting to creep up a couple of weeks ago, but as soon as I took my medication it would go down. Now it seems as though my meds aren't doing the trick. I called to let my doc know the deal and he made me come in for a checkup today. My BP read 138/92 when I was there, so they sent me over to Labor & Delivery where I had to practically be admitted to the Maternity Ward!
I had to put a gown on and lay in a bed where they strapped a contraction monitor and a baby heartrate monitor to my belly and put a blood pressure cuff on my arm. Then I had to lay in bed and be monitored for over an hour. The phlebotomist drew 4 viles of blood to do different tests, and they sent me home with a urine collection kit - I have to collect all of my potty for 24 hours and then take it back to them tomorrow.
In case any of you were wondering, I do have the best husband ever :) He came and kept me company at the hospital. As soon as he came in, the baby woke up and went crazy :) It seems to respond to his voice more and more all the time. The little thing loves his/her daddy - But not as much as I do!
I have my 36 week OB appointment on Wednesday morning, so we will find out what they want to do with me. Best case? They increase my meds to help keep my BP down. Worst case? They put me on bedrest and induce me at 37-38 weeks...

So here I am all strapped up...This was at my first Non-Stress test, not at the hospital today. I have these every week, today's was just longer and more intense. The top strap monitors contractions and the bottom one is monitoring Baby's Heartrate.
