Game Plan

So I have officially finished 3 almost 4 days of bedrest.

We saw the doctor briefly this morning to get lab paperwork from him. I also had to take in my blood pressure monitor to be sure that it is accurate. Thankfully it is. Dr. Libson looked at the blood pressure readings I've had for the week and didn't seem overly concerned. He did lay out what's going to be happening the next 10 weeks or so. I will be going in to see him every week instead of every other week. Before I see him, I have to go to the hospital to have blood drawn plus do a 24 hour urine test. The urine test is no big deal, but for those of you that know me a needles, the thought of having to be stuck every single week quite frankly sucks. We will see Dr. Libson next Thursday for a regular appointment where hopefully we will learn a little more. At this point, he hasn't mentioned anything about delivering early or anything like that. I'm sure most of that will depend on my blood pressure and lab work.

The biggest problem with pre-eclampsia is that it can effect your kidneys and liver. At this time, thankfully, neither of those are being effected. That's the reason for all the labwork. Every week both those organs will be checked.

Aaron is holding up rather well at this point. I really feel bad for him, but I have my "job" to do right now and that's to get baby Michael here safe and healthy. We both know God has a plan and are trying to focus on that rather than what all can go wrong at this point.
