Emma may be here next week!

Well let's just say this week has been interesting. We made a trip to Williamson Medical Monday night but after monitoring me for a few hours they sent me home. I had an appt scheduled Tuesday morning with Dr. Bell and from the time we left Williamson late Monday night to Tuesday morning I had dilated another centimeter. They have been concerned with the swelling I've been having so they ran more tests. As of the appt Tuesday, she was hoping she could get me through to next week and possibly the week after. I had to go back today for an ultrasound so we could find out if the blood flow was ok and what little one is weighing in at. She has an estimated weight of 5pds and 3oz. Dr. Bell is pleased with this. She is still a little drama queen b/c she was sleeping with her hand on her forehead. The unfortunate news is that Dr. Bell called this evening and they found protein in the test that they ran and it is enough for me to be considered mild pre-clampsia. I am on bedrest now instead of just taking it easy. I go in Friday morning to get my blood pressure checked. If my bp is up and/or I've started having some of the symptoms we discussed one of the other doctors will  assess me and possibly put me in immediately. Dr. Bell is hoping I can make it through the weekend and see her first thing Tuesday morning. She will then assess me and do another round of test. More than likely Emma will be here at some point next week especially with me have the pre-clampsia. Dr. Bell is just hoping she doesn't have to perform and emergency c-section. Keep us in your prayers.
