I know TTC and pg check in isn't until tomorrow but honestly I'm not sure where I'll be tomorrow. My bp was doing fine (slightly high but still in the normal range) until yesterday. Now it has gone crazy. I took it first thing when I woke up this morning and it was 141/93! I have a NST and an appointment set for today. I'm hoping to find a way to control my bp and keep this LO in there for longer. My personal goal for this pg was always 35 weeks (the longest I will have ever been pg) which will be the 22. Well really the goal has always been 38 weeks but my thought was at least 35 weeks if I can't make it that far.

To top it all off ds#1 is sick so I can't take him to the regular sitters b/c there will be other kids there. So on my way to the dr. office I will have to make stops to drop both my boys off at different places. I also feel like crud not sure if I'm coming down w/ what ds#1 has or if it is just b/c my bp is so out of whack. Hopefully I'm not getting sick too.

I really just want to cry b/c this pg was going so well. I was doing everything I was supposed to do to try and prevent this from happening again and it seemed like it was working up until yesterday. No I'm feeling like all those Lovenox shots that I gave myself were for nothing. I'll try to give another update when I can. If for some reason I get sent to the hospital I won't have access to a computer though so it could be awhile before I'm able to update again.

    I'm sorry, sweetie. 33 weeks isn't too bad, and you know you've done the best you could. Hang in there!

    You're in my thoughts and prayers.  Hang in there.  Don't throw in the towel...  You keep fighting for that little one in there.  Whatever happens, you can get through this.  You're a very strong person, whether you feel that or not.  Good luck today and tomorrow.  {hugs}

    so after putting my feet up and resting as much as my two little guys will let me my bp is at 130/86. Not great but certainly better than it was earlier. Getting ready to take my guys to the sitters in a bit then off to the dr.

    Unfortunately bp is one of those things where you get a high reading so you stress out about it which prevents you from being able to do too much to lower your bp.  Honestly, 141/93 really isn't that bad.  I'm sure the doctor can help you manage it, there are meds that you can take to help lower it, too.  If it makes you feel better my bp when I went to the hospital for pre-e was 189/130.

    Sending lots of thoughts and prayers coming your way. I really hope you have a good appointment today. I hope that DS#1 gets better soon too. Hang in there!

    Here's hoping you just need a little rest and relaxation (I know, easier said than done with LOs on the outside and fear of PTL constantly hanging over your head!).
