Baby Update

This morning I went to the doctor for another appointment. Last night we had to make a trip to Labor and Delivery due to my blood pressure getting super high. It was able to come down somewhat and the non stress test showed that Luke was handling everything well.

They performed an ultrasound this morning and he is measuring only a few days behind. His weight is guestimated at 5 pounds 11 ounces. My amniotic fluid is only a few points below where it should be. I didn't get to see his sweet face because he was sleeping with his hands covering his eyes. I had lost another two pounds, but they don't believe that it is affecting him in any way.

My blood pressure was high when we got there (168/93). It went down to 148/82 after resting on my left side. Because it went down, Dr H thinks that continuing complete bedrest until his birth is the best route. The csection has been rescheduled for April 7th at 11:15. I will have more labs run/non stress test/bp checks on next Monday and Thursday. The following Monday I will have pre-op labs, and that Thursday we will have Luke!

Thank you for praying alongside us. I know that God has his hand on our little boy and is keeping us both safe. And in two weeks, I can't wait to share with you the pictures of our completed 5-person family.
