In the Hospital

Yesterday I had my 36 week check up. My blood pressure was 180/90, and then it was 161/88. So the doc made me check into the hospital so they could monitor me, and make sure I dont have pre-eclampsia. They took blood work, and it all came back normal, so they are waiting for the 24 urine test to come back. I dont finish that until 3:15 today, so we are hoping they can get the results back by this evening. If that comes back good, and my blood pressure is down, then I can go home, otherwise, I am here until I deliver! This morning, my blood pressure was 128/66, which is awesome. The doc said though that I had one bad reading last night, so he is a little concerned. He doesnt want to send me home and then something bad happen. I guess it is better to be safe... I mean I have made it this far. From the sounds of it, Bradyn will be delivered within the week. I am a little nervous as I know that boys arent as strong, so I want to make sure his lungs are developed and he will be able to breath on his own. I will be 37 weeks this weekend! So that is full term! They arent sure if I will be able to deliver naturally because he is still high and the doc said it might be hard to induce...so a C-section might still happen. At this point, I just want him here healthy and me healthy too!

I want to thank all of you for the thoughts and prayers...they mean the world to bob and I. Please continue to pray for a healthy delivery and that my blood pressure can be under control!
