Someone Must Be Praying For Me...

Good news! Good news! I had a great Dr. appointment today! My blood pressure was 124/74. I had not gained any weight. The NST was fine. And here is the best part... I didn't have ANY protein in my sample today!!! It was 0...zero...nil...nadda...!!! Dr Patel was really pleased. He said he "was proud of me!" Who knew I would excel at sitting on my butt all day long?? While the lack of protein doesn't exactly mean that I am out of the woods. It does mean that I am stabilized for the time being and not in immediate danger of preterm labor or having to be induced. Dr. Patel also mentioned that they will keep me on Level 3 bed rest until I reach 35 weeks (I will be 33 weeks tomorrow). He said after that we could talk about a compromise!! Good news all around! My next appointment is Thurs. and I have to take in a Preeclampsia 24 test. I only have to do one test this week. It feels like a luxury.

I also just want to say thank you to everyone that is sending prayers and positive thoughts to Kyle, Andrew and I over the past few weeks. I think it really does make a difference. Hopefully it will help Andrew make it here around 37 weeks safe and sound.
