So...it's 6:00 a.m. and I couldn't sleep anymore...although last night wasn't too bad or anything, I guess I was just done. I did fall asleep early so I still got a full night, just ended a tad earlier than normal.
Anyway, I'm down here by myself and happened to see that I had a voice mail from a missed call...at 9:45 last night. And yes, it was the doctor.
Despite her feeling the need to call me so late, my labs are fine. Or fine-er. Last week the protein in my 24 hour urine was 413. Yesterday it was 351...so, while still in the "preeclampsia range" (which starts at about 300), I at least went the right way to avoid bedrest...for now.
However, I know they're not done worrying about me and making me repeat such tests. But at least we've put it off for another week or two (I hope!). Believe me, it's not like we're completely in the clear here and will just skip right along to 09/09/09 or anything like that, unfortunately. But, unless something comes up with me: headache that won't go away, high blood pressure, etc, then we'll wait till my growth ultrasound and OB visit in two weeks before really worrying again.
So there ya go.

That's good-ish! I hope it is smooth sailing for the next couple of weeks.
Whew! Still praying. Always praying. Moo
YAAAY, for now! I pray it stays this way or gets better.
Praise God! You know better than anyone that every week counts...so happy things are okay for now.
Progress. It's good.
Thanks for the updates.
Lots of prayers, and thoughts, and well-wishing, and love...
That is great news and I hope this trend continues. Wabie needs to get good and comfy for *hopefully* 2 more months!
That is great Kristin! Hopefully that number keeps coming on down and your BP stays nice and low. Hard to believe you only have about 2 months left!
