Well, it's been approximately 27 years since we've posted on here. I love reading other people's blogs (even though I'm always too shy to comment!) and I guess I keep forgetting that I have my own. Oops.
I'm 34 weeks today and was diagnosed with pre eclampsia at yesterday morning's appointment. Oh fun! Both babies are doing well, but my blood pressure was 152/90 and there was protein in my urine. And I apparently gained 20 pounds of fluid in two weeks! Holy shit! After the appointment, J and I went to my office to talk to my boss and pass off my work to my coworkers. I can't believe I won't be going back to work until June-ish. As much as I complain about my job, I'd much rather be there than at home bored out of my mind.
The doctor said that this pushes up the c-section to no later than 37 weeks, so that means that in 3 more weeks, the babies will be here. Pardon me while I go have a heart attack. AHHHHHH!!!! We have pretty much everything we need for the babies, but I'm not sure we're quite emotionally prepared for this. J is in the middle of a three month long stint of overnight shifts, so I'm going to be on my own at night with two babies... and that scares the crap out of me. At least it's only temporary, so that's a plus. Our families will be coming out to visit and to "help", but I have a feeling the only person who will actually help is J's mom. My mom means well, but she gets too wrapped up in her own dramarama and has trouble focusing on other people. She's like a permanent 16 year old. We'll see how it goes.
