In the Hospital

Well...I've officially been checked in to the hospital for observation. I went to the doctor today and my blood pressure was through the roof. So they sent me home to pack a bag and meet John to go to the hospital. When we arrived they hooked me up to a fetal monitor and Jack was doing great. They started monitoring my blood pressure and it had already gone down. They continued monitoring it every 10 minutes for a few hours and it continued to go down. They are also monitoring all of my output for protein. A combination of high protein in your output and high blood pressure is a sign of preeclampsia...so I'm glad they are being so cautious. I will be staying the night at the hospital tonight and they will continue to check my protein levels until tomorrow at 12:30 and then we will know more from the doctor. I have a feeling that some sort of bedrest is in my near future. It's a good thing that we've got the nursery almost ready because it's looking like Jack could arrive at any time. John spent the day here with me and I sent him home to take care of Tyson...he'll be back in the morning to keep me company and wait for our diagnosis and instructions. I'll keep you updated with any info that we receive.
