I surprised Jonathan by flying his brother/best friend down here for the BYU/TCU football game. Sorry that they lost but they are still really enjoying hanging out. I will let Jonathan update the blog about his adventure.
Also Friday October 17. Thank you so so much for every phone call, every letter, gift, and meals, or any other acknowledgement of my birthday was greatly appreciated! I am so blessed to have many people care about me! Thank you!
I birthday consisted on me going to a Dr appointment and then being put in the Hospital. It was deju vu all over again. So I went in got my blood pressure (BP) taken. The nurse took it 3 times and was shaking her head. I started freaking out. Then she left the room had another nurse come take my BP. It was high but not really really high but sends a red flag. I started bawling, I couldn't help it. I am only 23 weeks and 6 days. It is so scary! Well then they sent me to the room to lay down on my left side for 15 minutes to see if it would go down. I kept thinking to my self it is Ainsley all over again way too soon! They came back in BP didn't go down. So I layed there again and it didn't go down. So Dr Cope walked in and said that I need to be watched over for a while so off to Labor and Delivery I went. Oh and I found out that while I was pregnant with Ainsley I got preeclampsia which I knew but I also had HELLP Syndrome. WOW! That would have been nice to know before hand! My risk factor just went up. I wish I knew this before. Oh well can you do it's just my luck. So I was in the hospital all day. I was able to get a steroid shot for the baby and saw a perinatologist and the baby is strong, healthy in every way. I was on a fetal monitor as well and his heart beat was great the whole day as well. So he is doing wonderfully! My wonderful Graceful angle of a sister Jenn came and picked up Ainsley to keep her for the weekend! Thank you so much!!!!!!! I LOVE YOU!! But I convinced my Dr to let me go home and not stay the 24 hours there at the hospital and I will monitor my BP at home and will collect my 24 hour urine specimens for them. So Saturday morning I go back to the Dr's office to give them my urine for them to test. So I am on bed rest. I believe they can get 5 or 6 more weeks out of me. But I know I can get more. So I will do great! If I can make to 29 weeks or even 30 I will be happy because then the preemie is just small and the risk are a lot lower. I just don't wait a micro preemie. I know some to wonderfully I know people who have wonderful healthy amazing micro preemies, I just don't want to deal with the roller coaster that they have been through. The women I know are strong amazing women. I know they would never want to go through that again. Well for right now I am in limbo until I see the Dr again on Saturday and then again on Monday. I will keep everyone updated!! But don't worry about me! I know, I KNOW this baby will be in me for longer!!!!! So I am not worried at all!!!!! I am a positive thinker and it will happen. So I do not need any sympathy that is NOT what I am looking for just wanting to update my family and friends. I update more tomorrow.
