Pray For Me Please

I'll make this short. It appears that any hopes I had of ever having an easy, low-risk pregnancy have been chucked out the window. I think I held onto those hopes for all of about 2 seconds.

Here's the scoop. I am 9 weeks pregnant (or thereabouts). My blood pressure is already elevated. Considering that I have no family history of high blood pressure, I weigh 120 lbs, I've NEVER had HBP, I have no other risk factors; it would appear that this is pregnancy induced.

Yippee for me. I am a bit freaked out. I tend to do that. I can't seem to get in touch with a doctor who can prescribe something for me (ya know... military and all that) so I've put myself on bedrest until they call me back.

I am determined to have a healthy baby born as close to full-term as is possible for me. And I am not going to let it kill me. So... Please pray for me. Pray for peace and healing. Pray for Ed and Eddie because I have no idea how I am going to tend to their needs while I am on self-inflicted bedrest.

Sorry I haven't been around much lately. This is part of why. I am going to take a nap and to pray some more.

Thanks so much for your prayers.
