It's like my second home now...
I'm just copying and pasting my post on the mommy board, since I'm kind of tired of telling everyone the same story.
**Well he's not here yet but it looks like my little guy will be making a grand entrance sometime in the next couple of weeks.
I went to see the perionatologist this morning for an Ultrasound (already 4 1/2 lbs!) and my blood pressure was crazy high. They admitted me to the the hospital and spent about 4 hours taking blood and monitoring me. I'm here overnight- then back home to bed rest tomorrow.
My doctor is predicting he will be here within the next week or two, we are hoping to keep him in until April 1st with blood pressure meds. Some extra positive thoughts and prayers our way would be greatly appreciated!**
That's generally what's going on at this point. I've had 4 sets of blood labs since I got here and a 24 hour urine analysis and so far everything has come back looking good. They started me on blood pressure medication last night and left me to sleep for 3 hour intervals (yeah, right).
Brian took both days off of work and I feel really fortunate that he's been able to be here with me. Being alone here would really suck.
My doctor will come visit me today at 2, to let me know what is going on and (cross my fingers) discharge me to bed rest.
I'm thinking positive that these meds will keep my blood pressure manageable for a few more weeks and we can avoid the stress of Davin going straight to the NICU. He has to make it to the first week in April for that to happen. My doctor, however, sounds pretty sure that we will be delivering in the next week or two at most.
Waiting...waiting....waiting.
