AMEN, AMEN, AMEN!!!! I am 34 weeks prego today! This is such a blessing and to top it all off the little critter weighs 5 lbs. 11 oz.
The down side is I am writing from the hospital. I had a rough night last night and for the past few days I could tell my blood pressure was rising. At my appointment today as I predicted my blood pressure was 148/88 and I had protein in my urine again. The worst part is the headache I have had since Saturday; nothing I can take seems to ease the pain.
The doctor sent me over to the hospital to be observed for at least 24 hours. The pain killers for the headache have eased it off a little and they have helped me sleep. With the headache less severe I was not as nauseated and was able to get down some food. The doctor has taken me off the procardia to see if it’s masking my high blood pressure, but if the contractions come back I will have to start it again. It seems for some reason my pulse is high, around 148. I don’t know what they plan on doing with me, but the only cure for preeclampsia is delivery of the baby. Dr. Jacobson was not very clear with us today other than I am his patient and I am getting sicker. In other words I am his main concern. He referred us to Dr. Allaire, a perinatalogist (sp) for the baby. Dr. Allaire did an ultrasound of the baby today and feels he or she will do well (another blessing).
There is not much else to tell since the doctor hasn’t made his rounds yet. Say a little prayer for us as we realize we are getting closer and closer to meeting our sweet new baby. Say a prayer for me too; I need all the energy I can mustard up when I get home with the new baby and right now I am not feeling so hot. I am also missing my girls at home and wishing we could all be together.
God has been so good to our family and we can't wait to be a party of 5!
About Me
- kriswalls
- Me- well: I love God! I love people! I love my family! I love my husband! I love being a mom! I love having twins! I love my friends! I love children! I love teaching! I love my church! I love red wine! I love watching my children play! I love summer! I love the beach! I love bonfires! I love the lake! I love to laugh! I have the most wonderful husband- he takes care of me and helps me out when I over commit myself. I love being a mom- twins are great! I hate when people say, "I don't know how you do it!"- I just do what needs to be done. At the end of the day our house may not be clean and the clothes may not get folded and put away, but everyone is safe, fed, and loved. My friends- oh you mean the people I used to hang out with, but never see anymore! Yeah, I love them too. I have learned that God brings all kinds of people into our lives. Some of those people are great friends while you are in school, some are great friends while you are in college, and some are great friends at work or church. Then there are the few- the special friends that stick around for a lifetime. I am so blessed to have so many lifetimers!!!

So sorry to hear you've run into some more hurdles, Kristin. I'm thankful that you've gotten some rest, even if it has been at the expense of terrible hospital food and being away from Bree & Blythe. We're praying for you and your continued strength...like you said you are going to need it once the baby arrives. Although, I'm sure Bree & Blythe will be sweet little helpers. Please let us know what else we can do to be of service to you. We love you dearly, sweet friend!
Thanks for the update, Kristin. I wondered about you the whole time I was at the beach! I will be praying for you and sweet little baby bunches. Please let me know what I can do to help. Know that you are in His good hands and He will finish the good work He started with you and that sweet little baby! Can't wait to meet him/her!
