Day by day

Hi Princess,

We're taking this pregnancy day by day now. We are no longer trying to predict how things will be. Last week momma's pressure was wonderful and then starting Friday, (32 weeks 6 days), my pressure shot up to almost 140/90 which is the ultra red alert level. If the next reading had been the same or higher, we would have had to head to the hospital. Needless to say this has mom and dad on pins and needles. You are just not ready. Luckily it went "down" a few points but at night before bed it went back up to 140/90 again. After thinking about it, it might be the caffeine momma's been having every day lately. She's been making an instant coffee in a big mug of milk to hide the protein powder taste she's been drinking (to reverse the effects and possible pre-eclampsia). She's stopped that yesterday and today and thank the Lord, her pressure is slowly going down. I hope thats the answer and thats it. You need to cook for at the very very least 4 more weeks. We are only 33 weeks as of yesterday and 37 is considered full term. I pray and pray that you wont be a premie baby. Please God, let baby girl be a full term baby!
