Another Day, Another Doctors Appointment

I am now going to see my doctor to do none stress test once a week and the other day going out of office to get ultrasounds. Yesterday was our appointment with the doctor. The baby is doing great. She is very active and happy in there. So, that is a huge relief! My body on the other hand is getting really tired. My blood pressure is still really high and now I am showing small amounts of protein in my urine. So, they sent me to the lab to get stat blood work done again and said they would call later that day with the results. However, it was already 3pm when we left the lab, so I kind of figured we wouldn't receive the results that fast... and we didn't.

So, last night since we didn't know if we were going to be having an emergency C-section today, we finished up all our last minute baby things. Like final load of unwashed baby clothes, putting sheet on her bed, putting the car-seat in the car, and packing our bags for the hospital. I am supposed to be on mild bed-rest, so that was a bit much for me. But I feel relieved it is done now!

Finally at 10am this morning one of the midwives called to tell us that the blood and urine samples came back normal. So, no C-section today. She said Preeclampsia can set on quickly though, so I will still be monitored closely and I need to watch to make sure baby in consistently moving. That is it for now...

  1. Sorry that you have to go in so frequently but glad that she is going to get to "cook" a little longer. Thinking of you....
