Well Well what a few days of activity.
Jennifer was admitted to the hospital Thursday for her preeclampsia. Her blood pressure remained really high and her protein was still really high, so in we went.
It's now Saturday afternoon, and even though her blood pressure has come down, the protein keeps rising. The doctors says that this will probably be the week Cops is born, whether we like it or not. :)
He's 32 weeks, but with the steroids they've given him for his lungs, he should do just fine. He's a trooper, I bet. Jennifer remains in the hospital, and will stay there until she delivers. It will be by C-section, but we really don't have a choice about it. The hospital days are long and boring, but luckily we've had a stream of visitors, which has broken up the monotony.
Thank god for family, as mine has helped greatly with the laundry and help getting the house in shape.
When he arrives this week, Cops will probably stay in the NICU for a few weeks, or at least until he's 5 pounds. He's 4 right now, which we discovered in his sonogram yesterday.
He's also cute, if I don't mind saying. He's got is mother's nose.
Well, back to the hospital, I'll keep you all posted.
