Our little Scare.....

So lately i have been seeing signs of high blood pressure my hands have been swelling and having headaches so i went to the good old walgreens to have my blood pressure checked and it was 156/100 so i immedately called my doctor and he moved my appt up to the next day. so Tuesday the 8th we went into the doctors and it was just as high so we had to go to the hospital for monitoring, while there my blood pressure went down a but but spiked right back up, sense we are only 32 weeks pregnant they were trying every thing they coudl to get the blood pressure down. they tried a blood pressure med and it didnt do anything for the blood pressure, soon i began to start having contractions. they were light at first and then i began to have them 2-3 mins apart and they were pretty strong, they immediately started me on magnisium and get me a steroid shot to help mature our little girls lungs in case they couldnt get the labor to stop or the blood pressure to lower. they checked my cervix and i went from nothing to 30% effaced and 1cm so it was crunch time. they got me a different blood pressure medicine and it started to work as wellas the mag began to slow down my contractions. finally after being monitored for over 8 hrs we got my contractions to 10 mins apart and my blood pressure in a ok level, so from then on i was on a 24 hr urine watch. they checked my cervix again and it only change ti 1 and a half cm so thankfully the mag worked, plus the bp meds were keeping my blood pressure down. so we spent 2 nights in the hospital to make sure everything was all ok! we were released on thursday morning with bed rest and instructions to try and get to 34- 35 weeks pregnant before delivery. while in the hospital i was given a second steroid shot for her lungs so that they will be mature if we need to have her earlier then planned. now we have 3 drs visits a week and it is like walking a tight rope. Our Dr. says i am a ticking time bomb, anything can change in a instant. so we are keeping our fingers crossed we can cook this little girl a bit longer before she comes into this world, but according to my doctor we will be having a baby at the end of this month or beginning of next month but will NOT get to march like planned. so now that things have calmed down a bit we are home and i am on bed rest and i have the most amazing husband cleaning and cooking and taking care of the kiddos for me! i could NOT ask for a better husband he goes to work and then comes home and works! he is amazing i wish i could do more but my job is to cook this little girl and that is what i plan to do!
