friday's appointment

our appointment on friday went well. i had a non stress test done and the babies did great! we had a little scare in that my blood pressure was a little high and i tested positive for protein in my urine, which caused alarm that i might have preeclampsia. if so, that would mean the babies would be delivered because of the harm it could cause to me. however, they took some bloodwork and the tests came back normal. for a couple hours there, we thought we would be seeing the babies this weekend ~ we are happy they are staying in longer but would have loved to see them. a nurse told me that each day they stay inside, it takes 2 days off the time they would have to spend in the neonatal unit. so we keep plugging away and are thankful for the time they have to grow before the births. it is such a comfort being monitored so closely by the doctors. next week we see the doctors on tuesday and friday. tuesday we will have an ultrasound to measure fluids again and then friday will be another non stress test.
