Congratulations on the baby boy!, he's adorable! Has your BP come down now that you have given birth?
In the hospital it fluctuated a lot. I'm on medication now that I began at the hospital to keep it lower. I actually have to to back to the drs tomorrow for a bp check! I'm interested to see if it's come down since being home. I literally had bp checks throughout the night, every freakin hour, when I was in the hospital.....one would think that would cause anxiety/a raise in bp, right?!?
I guess ultimately, it was my platelet count that concerned them the most. A "normal" count is 160+ and mine was down to 104.
I can't complain, really, because I get an extra four weeks of my life with my lil nugget :x
They thought I possibly had HELLP syndrome and was hospitalized for 4 days... Never had the high blood pressure though and my labs actually ended up being stable so they sent me home. It is very scary so I'm so glad to hear you are doing well and little one is doing great!! I will still be induced tomorrow (37 weeks) just because labs still aren't where they should be! Congrats again on your little man!

I still can't wrap my head around the fact that he's here and I should still be 36 weeks pregnant. It's so crazy!
We just had his first pediatricians visit! He said baby was perfect! I'm so relieved that he's doing so well!
Here's a picture of him bundled up to venture out
