It's amazing how things can change in a week. I am going home today! I am going home on bedrest, but I am going home! Most of me is very excited and greatful, but part of me is nervous about having to come back. I still have to be seen twice a week in clinic, get labs drawn weekly and do a weekly 24 hour urine test, so I will still be closely monitored. Plus I will have to take my blood pressure numerous times during the day. This week has been really good. My blood pressure, due to additional medication, has gotten much lower and stabilized. My blood sugars are still slightly erratic, but that will come with tweaking my medication. They know I am compliant with how to eat to keep my blood sugars low, so they wouldn't keep me here just for that. My labs have been normal all week and everything they have done with testing the baby has been normal and/or perfect.
So it has been a roller coaster ride this week going from gloom and doom on Sunday to better days today. I will be on bedrest at home (bed or couch, etc.), but at least I will be at home and will be able to see Alistair more than the hour or two I have seen him each day. Seth won't be running from home to here and back everyday after a long day at work. Seth's mom will still be living with us and helping out, but hopefully I will be able to help her a little by distracting Alistair with books or puzzles or something so he isn't always bugging her.
I will be 32 weeks tomorrow, so we still have a few weeks left before the end. Hopefully we can have an April baby. We just have to hang in there! (:
