We're getting closer!!

I'm way overdue on an update regarding the pregnancy and the preparation for Chase's arrival. My belly seems to be getting larger by the day, but I can't seem to gain any more weight (still 7 lbs. to date). I've been taking advantage of my meager weight gain and indulging in anything I can find these days, but no such luck yet. I've been put on 'modified bed rest' by the doc, due to my blood pressure going up and lots of heart palpitations. They've adjusted my thyroid meds to see if that helps my heart rate, but it hasn't. So, I've been going into the office two days a week, and doing anything else from home. Luckily December is pretty slow at work.
I've had to keep a log of my blood pressure and heart rate each day to report back to the doc. I go back to see him on Monday and we'll see if it goes to full bed rest then. We also get another ultrasound on Monday to see how big our boy is so far. I've been trying to take it easy, but there has just been so much going on. Between Austin's birthday, the Thanksgiving holiday, baby showers, and holiday parties, it's been hard to stay off my feet.

My co-workers through me a lunch shower a few weeks ago and I had my friends/family one this past weekend. After everyone's generosity, we are pretty much set and only need a few things to be set for Chase's arrival. I've also been able to make some progress in Chase's room and it's almost ready as well.
