Remember this quote from my last post "when she comes on the 4th you may all laugh at me. Well get ready to giggle...
Tuesday morning I had a 9:45 appointment at my OB. After waiting almost an HOUR I finally got called back. The nurse said my blood pressure was a little high. I was thinking 'Yeah because for the SECOND week IN A ROW you left me waiting FOREVER to get back here. And I'm hormonal and irritable.' I figured I'd relax, get another reading and go home. Maybe with instructions to take it easy.
NOPE.
Instead they took a urine sample, put me on the fetal monitors and had me lay down to hopefully bring down my pressure. But the urine sample tested positive for proteins and though baby looked fine, my pressure stayed high. So I got what no pregnant woman goes into an appointment anticipating: "Go straight to the hospital. You're having this baby now."
Yipes.
I'm posting from my iPod and it's tough, so I'll quit now and finish the detailed story later. But big picture: I'm at the hospital now and baby girl should arrive in the next 24 hours or so. Wish us luck!!

I've been text stalking your sister today. Praying for a healthy delivery and a happy mama and little girl! :-)
I LOVE YOU!!!!! Thanks for making me an aunt:)
I pray for you everyday. We are getting bits and pieces and now understand that this was not easy delivery on you. Hope that in a day or two you and Anna Marie will be home. Glad your family will be there for you and Jamie for a few days. Live begins anew now for you and Anna Marie will become the center of it; for a while Jamie will have to move over. Love you so very much.
Tara, We're are praying for your return to good health, so that you can thoroughly enjoy that little girl, who was so longed awaited for.
Get well soon, Sweetheart. We love you very much.
God bless,
Aunt Linda and Uncle Bob
