Janie and I were doing some work on the house when she got a headache. She checked her blood pressure and it was 180 over 109, which as you might imagine is bad. It wasn't going down very quickly, so we loaded up and headed for the hospital.
After about three hours of monitoring in the birthing room, they moved us to a postpartum room for what was initially going to be a 24-hour stay to check for signs of preeclampsia. I got about three fitful hours of sleep, while Janie got even less as they kept waking her to poke and prod.
Dr. Hodges looked at Janie's chart this morning and decided she could come home, but she's on strict bed rest, a blood pressure medication and we're apparently just trying to make it another two weeks before delivering Eliza.
So 14 days from now, we will probably be holding this blog's namesake. EXCITING, people.
Janie- you take care of yourself, k?? You're almost there!!
