Yes....that's right....I am now on bedrest in the hospital. I am at 32 1/2 weeks and my PE is starting to show up. Higher blood pressures and some protein have arrived, along with a little swelling. Also, my platelets are starting to drop, so my Peri thought it best to keep me in the hospital....at least until things stabilize. If they don't stabilize, I will be here for the rest of the pregnancy. I am hoping to get to at least 34 weeks before they have to deliver me. Right now, I am pretty optimistic that 34 weeks is possible. 36-37 weeks would be ideal! Hang in there Madeleine...you're almost done cooking.
The good news is, they have internet access here!!! Yes, it is dial up...but it is better than nothing. At least I can surf and keep up with the boards. I guess I won't be working on any autumn or halloween kits (which makes me sad because this is my favorite time of year). Also, I am a little bummed out because Ben's first day of pre-school is next week and I am probably going to miss it. But, I will make my hubby take lots of pictures.
My mom came up to help out while I am in the hospital. Not sure what we would do without her. It is so hard to have a toddler at home and be on bedrest in the hospital They are actually on their way in now to visit me.
Well...my nurse just came in....so I gotta hop. More later.
