Pre-Eclampsia...UHHHH!

So, it is day 4 in the hospital! I have never had to stay in a hospital before and I find it rather strange! For one, I hate the gown. It is gross, and I just want to wear my own clothes! The other thing is the food is really not all that good! They keep calling me for my order too, and I am like, uhh it is 4...I eat dinner around 6. Plus I feel soooo weird in here. However, the nurses are all really nice, and one of them, Julie, reminds us of Bob's Aunt Kim. Julie is the nicest nurse. The first night she watched Big Brother with us and we talked about all the people. Then last night, it was on, so she actually stayed in here the whole time, and we talked about the show and about her family and where she was from and all. I was sad when I found out she wouldnt be working tuesday or Wednesday night, but that I know I will be here next Thursday, so she will atleast be there if I have to have a C-section then, and she can be our nurse then too!!! I told her all my worries...how I am scared for myself and all because of all that I have been through, and she explained that I am in good care and that many people have this and stuff. She made me feel a lot better.

So since I have been in here, my bloos pressure has been under control! I mean awesome! So I am a little upset I am here. Today the doc came in and told me the reason is is because Pre-eclampsia can take a turn for the worst out of nowhere! So, he wants me here to be safe. It is frustrating, but on the other hand, I am being monitored and if I do go into labor on my own before Tuesday I am here, and they are ready. They listen to Bradyn every 8 hours and they take my blood pressure every 4 hours! So I am being watched and that is good.

5 days until they induce....6 days until Bradyn arrives. September 2 hurry and come! Thanks for all the thoughts and prayers...Bradyn is truly blessed!

Oh Jen! I will be praying for you! I am sure you are miserable there, but I'm sure you are in good hands and they just want what's best for you and the baby! Can't wait to see pictures of Bradyn. I also can't believe he's going to be here so soon!! YEAH!! Praying for all three of you.
