Baby Update

It's no fun to spend a night in the hospital and not come home with a baby!

But then again, I wasn't in labor. So what do you expect?

Husband and I think we had a little stomach thing. I had horrible stomach cramping but no vomiting although my blood pressure was elevated. They kept me there until my doctor could make it in and the cramping stopped. Baby looked fine. I am fine. They checked out everything even my gall bladder (which looked fine).

The point of this story is that this is now the second time I've had some minor pregnancy related blood pressure issues and my doctor would be very happy if Cupcake decided to come now. But, my history indicates that my babies like to stay tucked inside as long as they can... over 41 weeks with each of the others. But this baby seems to be different in a lot of ways or maybe I'm just older now.  So, prayers would be appreciated that this little girl makes an earlier appearance than her older siblings.  Anytime after tomorrow would be great! It's not imperative, but it would make everyone feel better, especially my doctor. I tend to think that my blood pressure was only elevated this second time because I was in pain and possibly a little anxious. :)

Oh... one more thing. Go look at the beautiful St. Therese doll you could win if Cupcake shows up closest to your guess! Isn't she just lovely! Thank you, Amy!

  1. Ugg. I've been there. Prayers she wants to come out and meet everyone soner than later.
    As someone who does have BP issues in pregnancy - it indeed goes up when you are sick or hurting, so I too hope that was all it was (plus, you thought you were maybe going to push out a baby :)
    God bless!

  4. Praying for you!!! I know exactly what you mean about being sent home from a hospital stay, without the baby - I've had so many of those over the years. I can't wait to see pictures of that little Cupcake, and hopefully it won't be too much longer now - September starts tomorrow!!! :)

  8. Continued prayers for you and the baby, Charlotte. I'm sorry you were sick. I hope that's the only reason for the bp rise.

  11. When I said you could go ahead and have the baby now that I finished the doll, it did not mean for you to get elevated blood pressure and all that.

    Get rest and I am praying for you, baby, and doctor!
