Update

We went to the doc today and she decided that with the preeclampsia and the rise in blood pressure she will not let me go full term. She told us that lung under-development issues are so low at 38 and 39 weeks that she would like to see me deliver in the next two weeks. Also boys have a harder time with blood pressure stress than girls do, so baby could be under more stress than she would like to see. April 28th is my 39 week mark and that is what we are holding out for. I am on moderate bed rest which means I just have to take it easy and stay off my feet. I am going to work tomorrow, it's my last day so I might as well. I'll try to sit most of the day...banking on good students :o)
I had blood drawn today for some testing (don't know what...we got lots of information in a few short minutes) and will have to have my blood drawn twice a week until I deliver. As if that weren't enough visits, I also have to go have my blood pressure checked at the clinic or the hospital every single day! Oye! Blood pressure gets checked, doc gets paged with numbers and she can decide anytime between now and April 28th to "call it" for an inducement. Basically the bottom line is that the bag needs to be packed and we need to be ready to go. I packed the bag tonight and we'll just wait and see what the doc says regarding my blood tests and daily BP checks. Stay tuned, otherwise please feel free to call one of us if you have questions.
PS I do feel absoltuly fine and baby's heart beat was great today!
