11-7-2009 - 28w2d (pre-eclampsia)

My mood while writing this blog: bloated

---

I had my ultrasound last Thursday right at my 28w mark. My mom went with me, since Brendan had some major stuff at work to do and couldnt make it. I ended up going home with my mom for a couple of days because she begged me so she could "take care of me". So I complied. It was pretty nice though. She just got a new house and it has a jacuzzi tub which was really really nice. I was super sore one night, my back and legs were killing me, so I took a warm (not hot unfortunately) bath in the jacuzzi. It lets you really sink in the tub and soak. It took all the weight off my back and I felt GREAT after! I wish I had one now hehe.

So at the ultrasound, everything looked fine again. Bloodflow and growth looked perfect. Estimated weight at 28w was 2lb 12oz. The week before he was 2lb 3oz! 9oz in a week!! All the Drs are very happy. At my regular appointment, she said our goal is 36/37 weeks...which freaked me out...thats like 8 WEEKS AWAY!!!!! (which sounds a lot less than 2 months lol)

My friends at work have my baby shower scheduled for Aug 8, which is a little early but we planned it that way just in case. It will be at one of their houses and I will just chill back in a recliner all day and enjoy the shower of presents and games lol I mentioned to them that I think a tye-dying "game" would be fun. Each person gets a white onsie or tshirt or some kind of baby clothing and they get to tye dye it. All different sizes so he doesnt have 10 size 0-3mos. onsies all tye dyed hehe. Since it's going to be co-ed I think that would be something fun guys and girls would like to do.

My husband and my dad started doing the stripes underneath a ledge like chair rail in the baby's room. It looks really cool. They always tell me I have to stop watching "those home shows" because I always get these ideas and expect them to carry them out lol. Needless to say, they did a god job on it and it looks awesome so far. Once we get the room cleared a bit and the paint touched up I will take some pics. Its gonna be a really bright fun room :)

As for the PE..no changes here. Everything is staying just the way it is..BP is staying where it is, etc. I had to repeat my bloodwork and I have to do my 24 hour urine again just to see where we are with that. I hope the protein isnt any higher but we shall see.

Me and the DH are rooting for you all the way! Every extra day counts, but you are already into much safer territory, so congratulations!

I am happy to hear everything is going so well. I know 8 wks doesn't seem like much time but it is definately a better out look then what you origanally anticipated. Think of these last 8 weeks as your time for you and your little one. Rest up. Maybe right them a letter or two so when they are older they will appreciate everything you've gone through for them.
