As my niece would say...Bailey Bailey is here!!!

6 lbs 7 oz, 19 1/4 inches long....at 11:57 pm on May 1st

Last week recap...

Okay...so Bailey has kept me busy. Last week started off with a Dr's appointment Monday. Lab work was drawn. Tuesday I had to take a 24 hr urine sample to Greenville and have more lab work drawn. Then, the Dr. called and told me to go to the hospital because my platelet count was low...it was 111. So I stay in the hospital Tuesday night, more lab work drawn, and get sent home Wednesday afternoon after more lab work was drawn. My platelets were 115 on Wednesday when I left. So Thursday I had a Dr's appointment and because my blood pressure was high, I also had a Dr's appointment on Friday morning. Today, I got to spend a few hours at the hospital so they could check my platelet count, blood pressure, and urine. Everything was good(well...good for me)so I got to come home. Next Dr's appointment is Tuesday and I can't wait;)

Baby update...

Okay...so Monday I went to work knowing it was not the smartest thing for me to do. I worked last Thursday and Friday...so by Monday my feet were huge. My baby shower at work was Monday, so I didn't want to miss it. I know a lot of people put a lot of time into the shower. I ended leaving work early because my blood pressure was elevated and scheduled a doctor's appointment for Tuesday. At the doctor's office, my blood pressure was still elevated so the doc decided to send me to the hospital for 24 hours. I had a 24 hour urine collection to check for protein, which turned out to be okay. So they discharged me Wednesday...with the instructions of bedrest and twice a week check-ups. The first check-up was today and it was good. My blood pressure was a little lower and my feet aren't swollen like they were. I had an ultrasound just to make sure Bailey was doing okay and she looks great. Right now she's around 6 lbs 7 oz. So we're playing the waiting game right now. As long as my blood pressure doesn't get crazy and my urine stays clear we'll just let her grow until she decides she's ready to meet us.

Bailey's Room

We've been trying to get Bailey's room ready for her arrival. Here's what we've got so far.

Old blinds


New wood blinds


Fabric for quilt


Crib

School and work

Not a lot going on right now except school for Josh and work for the both of us. Our baby is growing and kicking. The baby room is still a mess, but hopefully we'll get it cleaned up soon. Josh has decided that he wants to hunt now(deer and turkey). I'm not thrilled with the idea, but if that's what he wants to do then I'll support him. Working in a hospital and seeing gunshot wound patients kinda makes me nervous, but Josh thinks I'm being over-protective. I'll try to be better about updating my blog, and maybe take some pics of my big belly.
