We are in the hospital!

Well, my doctor appointment on Thursday produced some unexpected results. It wasn't really a doctor appointment, but I saw the nurse for another nst. My blood pressure was 142/82 and the doctor at the office said you are going over to labor and delivery for more monitoring...so once again over I went! I got there expecting things to work like last time and I would be going home in a few hours...not so. My blood pressure just kept climbing and the doctor at the hospital said that I may be staying depending on what the lab work says. She came back in about an hour later after many more high bp's and said, well, you just won yourself a stay overnight and possibly until the babies are born. She then started asking me about my mode of delivery choice...ok, now my bp had a reason to go up!! Dean and I both got worked up by it all...but came back down to reality pretty quick! My blood pressure stayed high, but started to level out and through out the night went back to a normal range. So, I was ready to go home today, but it started climbing again the longer I was awake. The hospital moved me out of labor and delivery and into the mother/baby unit, but I am still unsure for how long. All the doctor said that saw me today, (for all of 5 minutes), was it depended on what the labs and the 24 hour urine I collected yesterday into today showed. Well, it is now 10 pm and I haven't heard what the results were. So, for now I am just taking things one day at a time and we will go from there. The doctor from yesterday did say that she wants to keep me pregnant for as long as she possibly can. I am just hoping for at least one more week. Both babies are doing well and show no signs of distress so that is good. The resident that checked me said I was effaced but my cervix was still closed. We are going to go with a vaginal delivery at this point, but I have an open mind to whatever has to happen to get both babies out safely. That is about all I know for now, but with wireless Internet access I will be able to keep you all updated on my status and hopefully tomorrow will know if this is going to be a long stay or just a quick one with bed rest at home. Well, believe it or not, a day of laying around has got me tired so I am going to try to get some rest before the nurse comes in to take my next blood pressure. Stay tuned!!!
