Here We Go

Hey everyone. I wanted to quickly update you before I get admitted to the hospital tomorrow. I was officially diagnosed with preeclampsia today after my blood pressure kept spiking and my liver and kidney functions are off. The plan is to do a magnesium drip for 24 hours with steroid shots to help mature the babies lungs then I will get my blood retested. Both my OB and MFM believe my numbers will stay high so they want me to have a c-section Thursday morning. I’ll be 33 weeks tomorrow. It’s not exactly MY plan but I know things will be ok. Both babies passed the non stress test today and got 8/8 scores on their biophysicals last week. Obviously I’d love for them to stay in until at least 34 weeks but my body has other ideas...

Big positives:
- DH is home and able to be in the hospital with me!
- This morning was my last Lovenox shot! I have done over 200 belly shots now but no more for me! (Well, I may have to do them for 6 weeks postpartum but I don’t want to think about that yet)
- I got to cancel my gestational diabetes counseling/monitoring appt for tomorrow! No finger pricks!!!!

My last belly shots

I’ll try to update again from the hospital. We love you all!
