I admit it.. I was pouting. I hated the idea that I had to end up being in here. Just bummed me out. Oh yeah, in here means in the hospital. So I guess I should regress a bit.......
last Wednesday Memo and I headed in to the Dr.'s office for our normal check up. Well it didn't go as expected. Basically they took my Blood Pressure (BP) was whacked. it was 189 / 120. NOT good numbers. My feet were really swollen but I had just figured that was from being at work all day and having them hanging down. That wasn't really the case. So they decided to scare the crap out of me and Memo and sit us down in the office. THey told us we needed to get to the hospital ASAP. That I was clsoe to "stroking out" and needed to get there. They mentioned that there was a big possibility on delivering that night. Sooooo there we go in a cloud over to the hospital. Me trying not to cry or panic (great for the BP) they got us admited right away and put us in this lovely(just kidding) room. So there we are sitting there wondering if our babies were goign to be born that night. Well as soon as I was off my feet, my swelling went down as well as my BP. So they kept me Wednesday and Thursday Night. Friday I fought the Dr and asked to get out at least for the weekend. They were very unhappy with me. BUT I tend to be a tad bullheaded... no really I am! :) Sooo they let me out on Friday. They made me an appointment on Monday and gave us a bunch of layouts in terms of "if this happens come back immediately" so off we went.
Soo off we went, I was happy to be home. They put me on full bedrest. I was only allowed to pee and go back to the bed. Now here's the thing. Didn't realize just how hard that is to do in your own house. Poor memo now had to worry about feeding me and making sure I was ok. It was nice to be home, Maggie (the dog) and Baloo were super happy too. They stayed snuggled up beside me the whole time.
Memo's Mom came over on Saturday and helped him to finish the baby room. I was up more times than I should have been but it was too hard not to be.. it was so exciting to see the room finished. Well... long story short, my BP went up and my swelling came back. We sat on it for Sunday. But when we went back to the office on Monday they promptly sent me back to the hospital. So here I sit. We are at 33 weeks so the bad part for the kids is over.... now it's a matter of waiting.. the longer we can keep them inside me the less time they will need to be in the NICU here.
On the good side, my BP has been great. They are keeping me bedrest... which is easier when not at your house. I promise to post more.. .because there are good things happening too... like being able to see the kids on ultrasound every day....
But Memo just got to the hospital and we are heading out for our evening walk.. ok not me walking but Memo doing the walking and me being pushed like a princess!
