Update

Well it's been a while.  Not for lack of stuff, but more out of sheer laziness.  I have not been nearly as good at updating or quite as cynical this pregnancy as I was last time.  I just went back through and was reading about when I was pregnant with Bruce.  Really I was trying to remember when everything started going south in the pregnancy.

Looks like I'm heading down the "pre-e" (preeclampsia) road again.  I went to the dr a couple weeks ago and my blood pressure was elevated, very elevated and I had trace protein in my urine.  Yay.  So I got to do the 24 hour urinalysis...only good thing was I got to do it from home this time instead of in the hospital.  So I stayed home from church a few weekends back since I couldn't get very far away from my bathroom.  Yay again.  Well those results came back normal, for real yay now! :-)

Well I went back last Thursday (right before Christmas) and my BP was still high, even higher now.  But I really do have bad white coat syndrome, plus I was stressing myself out about how I really needed it to be lower and of course that doesn't help.  Well luckily I had bought a BP monitor and have been taking it at home and it's been significantly lower at home so Dr. Askew was cool with letting me postpone bedrest/modified work schedule a while longer.  I am officially 30 weeks today, only 9 weeks left until scheduled c-section (March 2nd), but we may have her earlier just like Bruce.  Here's hoping she stays in long enough to avoid the NICU.

Oh and since I never updated after my last post about GD, I don't have it.  Passed the 3 hour with no problems.
