On again, off again

I had my appointment with the midwife yesterday. I've been feeling pretty good lately with no big complaints, but I had noticed over the last few days that my legs are a lot more swollen and my hands are a little puffy too. Last week they commented that my blood pressure was a little up. Certainly not in a range that would be high blood pressure to anyone else, but I am a Lee girl. So this week not only was my BP still up (118/75) but I also managed to gain 5lbs in a week. Hmm.. not too good. I'm sure that it is all fluid, but it's still alarming considering I haven't gained anything in the last 4 weeks and I figured that maybe I was done getting heavier. We're just keeping an eye on everything for now, but she did nix my new walking program and took me back to working half days. I feel at this point like I'm the on again, off again resident and it's getting hard. I know that taking time off has been the right thing to do for me each time I've done it, but I've only managed to work 6 weeks since the beginning of the year! I think that baby just needs to come so I don't feeling like a slacker sitting at home feeling perfectly fine.

I also tried to post pictures of the nursery yesterday, but the computer wouldn't have it, so here they are today.
