We have continued to see good blood pressure readings and a lack of other side effects our doctor was worried about. My doctor came in and told me as long as my 24 hour test urine test came back ok (we will know late this evening) that he would send me home TONIGHT-YIPPY!! We were very excited about that then I had an over zealous nurse come in and throw a wrench in the day. She thought that I might be leaking amniotic fluid and said I should stop eating and drinking just in case we have to get the baby out ASAP. Within 15 minutes they had me down in my doctors office so he could check and get an ultrasound to check on the amount of fluid around the baby. After three tests and an ultrasound they determine nothing was wrong. I did get to see our little man. They estimate he weighs around 5lbs and has long legs ( like Julianna). He is measuring 34 weeks 5 days so that is very good news since high blood pressure can lead to small babies. It was great to see him and how well he's developing.
Our last little hiccup was the fact that one of my tests said I wasn't eating enough carbs today. I thought I was being good ordering a salad, since all i'm doing is sitting on my butt all day, but NOPE! Got yelled at :) After being stuffed from lunch my nurse made me eat a whole meal AGAIN! I guess I would take that over all the other things they make you do, any day!
I am back in my room trying to keep busy. Luckily I have sweet family and friends who keep me busy with emails and funny text messages. I keep trying to work on school stuff but I'm getting scolded and told it's taken care of from my wonderful teammates :). And most important, Aldo has also been so sweet to be so encouraging, comforting me when I'm upset, bring me lunch and bringing Julianna up here to see me.
We will know more late tonight and I will update you all. Thank you for all your prayers and support!!
