So like everything else, if its out there I will get it! I am now known as a medical nightmare in my house!! I got the call Friday afternoon that I am preeclamptic!! I am happy that they caught it early and that bed rest should be enough to keep it under control. The doctor said any protein in your urine over 300 is considered preeclamptic and my numbers were at 370. The blood work normal is 2.5-7 and I was at 5, so normal but creeping on the higher side. Needless to say my weekend and all the things I was planning on doing didn't happen. So to say I was pretty sad all weekend is an understatement. But in the big scheme of things I am now seeing that it is the beginning of sacrificing things for your child.
I have come to the conclusion that having gestational diabetes, gestational carpal tunnel, being GBS positive and now having preeclampsia that me and pregnancy don't mix. Good thing is that none of these are guaranteed to happen in future pregnancies and will most likely go away shortly after this lil man arrives. All in all I wouldn't trade it for the world and hope that Rick can forget all these things when I am ready for baby number 2 :-)

So sorry to hear this Sissy! I am glad that they caught it early though and hopefully you will be good to go until the 19th. And, yes, I believe that you (and Rick!) will forget all of these things when you start planning for #2. I have already forgotten all the bad stuff! LOL Keep the updates coming. I am glad that you started this blog so I can keep up with all the happenings!! Love you!!
