32 Weeks and Counting!
Well, we've made it past 32 weeks and baby is doing great! I'm however starting to experience some complications of my high blood pressure, and the doctor plans to induce no later than 39 weeks. At this point, his next goal for us is 36 weeks, but every day makes a big difference. We are still keeping a very close eye on the pre-eclampsia which is so far so good. I've started to experience some jaundice though, which means that my liver is beginning to get affected. My skin and eyes have started to take on a yellow color, and swelling is starting to increase. Our doctors will be keeping a close eye on this, and at the first sign my health or the baby's health is declining we will deliver. The good news is that she has already received steroid shots for her lungs, and has been taking her practice breaths for quite some time. She is also quite chubby! At our last ultrasound, she was a half a pound above average which is excellent for her to be at this point. We pray everyday that God will keep her in there as long as possible, and keep us both in good health. We would also greatly appreciate the prayers of our family and friends as well!
Thanks & Happy New Year! :)
