Update from Hospital - Good & Bad

Well ladies it's going to be a long 7-9 weeks, I have severe preeclampsia and will not be leaving the hospital until the baby is born, which we hope to happen after 32 weeks, so we're now looking at a mid to late September baby.
First, she is doing great, her heart rate is normal and she is moving all around, doesn't even know anything is wrong.
I was on magnesium for 48 hours which is horrible but I'm off it now, the catheter is out and I can actually keep water down so things are getting better. Yesterday had an MRI (where I actually completely freaked out and had to be sedated for it) and u/s done and all of that came back normal. BP is back down and I'm being carefully monitored. Already had 2 steroid shots to build up her lungs and this evening I'm being swicthed from lovenox to heparin in case something happens and I do have to deliver.
Thank you so much for all of your support, it's going to be a long 9 weeks but I need her to stay put for that time so she can come out healthy and strong. Please continue to keep all of us in your prayers and thoughts. Thanks again everyone!

Oh goodness, you've been through so much! T&P that you will stay healthy and that Katen will continue to grow strong and hold out.
PS - I love her name - that's my sister's name (different spelling, same pronunciation).
You are both in my thoughts. I know it's a long haul, but you can do this.
Stay in there, sweet girl. You've got some growing to do.

Thinking of you. Hope you get a laptop and some good books!! I know bedrest is NO FUN, but get some rest while you can. You'll be so sick of resting by the time she comes that you'll enjoy those midnight feedings, right?

(((HUGE HUGS)))
I'm so sorry you have to go through all of this honey. Sending lots of T&Ps to you and your little girl.
oh wow, huge hugs! I'm glad LO is doing so well in there and has no idea about what's going on!
Are you a reader at all? I was just thinking we should start a book recommendation thread for all the bed rest ladies to give you guys some great suggestions to pass the time. Or maybe even a book club thread?
Either way, I hope the time doesn't drag too much until your little girl is 32 weeks!
I'm glad they are taking such good care of you, but I wish you didn't have to be there. I'm so sorry, but she's so worth it. Stay put LO, and grow fast and strong so your Mommy can take you home as soon as its safe!!!
