Great attitude! Hope you get some rest and relaxation tonight! Hopefully you have a nice sized tv and good channels to keep you occupied...or a good book!

I'm watching the Spurs right now....you can take the girl outta Texas, but you can't take the Texas outta the girl!
I try to stay positive throughout everything, and I put on a brave face...but I'm trying not to crumble inside. Gotta laugh to keep from crying
What a roller coaster you've been on the past few days! Sounds like you're doing a great job of staying positive. Continued prayers that LO can stay cooking a little while longer!

Agreed!
I am a Rockets fan, but I hope to have a Texas match up with the Spurs in the next round!

I grew up in Houston, so I'm a Rockets fan too! My cousin works for the Spurs, and I've always liked Tim Duncan, so I cheer for them too.
Representing H Town here too! In my opinion, being a Spurs fan is much better than being a Mavs fan . Or maybe it's because Houstonians naturally dislike anything Dallas related.
i hope you are feeling better! Did they release you?
Update!!! Sorry, I don't know how to change the thread title from my phone to tell where the updates are.
My doctor came to visit me this morning and we discussed everything for about 30 min. I have elevated protein in my urine. That paired with the high blood pressure leads him to say that I have mild preeclampsia. Nothing major that requires delivery right away, but does require me to stay in the hospital until the munchkin makes his or her debut. Yay for more hospital food!
Something of a little more concern was my platelet count. It was a little lower than he likes, and that can be an indicator of HELLP syndrome, a form of preeclampsia that affects platelets, red blood cells, and liver function. All my labs for my liver came back fine from Wednesday, but he is redoing them Monday to recheck the function and my platelet counts.
If I develop that, more severe preeclampsia, or my blood pressure rises, then this kiddo will make an early debut. We are hoping me staying here will keep all that under control, and that kiddo stays in for 2-3 more weeks. Its the best place for us, as I am stubborn and would have a difficult time staying in bed at home. Here, there's a severe lack of stimulating activities, so I don't have much choice but to veg out lol.

No, I have a new temporary address. Room AP-3. Lol.
I am sending thoughts and prayers your way for no bp rises and normal blood work! Keep that baby cooking!! I'm sure the ladies of June 2015 will keep you entertained in the mean time. Stock up on good books and binge watch tv series on a laptop. Thinking of you mama!
Baby Elliott (technically) due 6.13.2015 but born via c-section on 4.12.2015 at 31w1d after 31d of hospital arrest (think house arrest) for monitoring.
Sorry you've had a few more complications added to your plate. At least you two are safe and sound getting the care you need asap. Hope for a long boring journey ahead.

Just caught up on your updates. I'm sorry you're confined to the hospital now, but I'm glad that they're taking good care of you and your LO! Keeping you in my thoughts and sending you positive vibes!
I'm sorry to see your update about hospital arrest... OK bed rest. Welcome to the club! I've been here 3 weeks now (tomorrow) and its gone by fairly quickly. If you have a computer or tablet it helps to pass time... Books and magazines, and definitely ask about where you can walk and if you're allowed wheelchair rides outside when people come to visit! Our unit has machines for laundry too that are free which is great. They have games and movies to check out... Its not horrible, just a little boring.
I hope the rest and monitoring keep you and baby healthy for the next 3 weeks!

Thank you for the suggestions Trixi! I am trying to keep to some sort of a schedule to help me keep some sanity. My hubs brought me some movies and games, and I'm going to work on thank you notes at some point.
How have you been doing? I hope everything is going well with you and your little one! I think about y'all frequently.
I've been doing pretty well. Things have been remaining steady around here which is the best I can ask for. I have days when I don't leak at all, and days/nights when I feel like I'm just draining fluid constantly.... But baby monitors well and I'm not having any pain or contractions, and no signs of infection, so overall good. Thanks for asking!
