Bed Rest...Shmed Rest...

I'm 36 weeks pregnant and when I was 34 weeks pregnant, my doctor put me on bed rest. I'm only supposed to get up to shower, go to the bathroom, and get food from the kitchen. My blood pressure has been climbing but I have no other symptoms--no headache, no blurry vision, no contractions, no pain--just high blood pressure. I'm on a bunch of medicine to control it and so far it's working. So as long as my pressure is within the limits my doctor has given me, I don't like laying in bed all day watching tv when there's a baby to get ready for! I can't do much anyways (the medicine makes me lathargic and sleepy).

Yes I know it may seem a little irresponsible but no one else can get ready for this baby the way I can. As long as I listen to my body and my baby, I'm sure we'll be fine (thank-you-very-much).
