Ran a new panel of tests today. The blood thinner is at a "therapeutic" level. The levels testing for preeclampsia remain unchanged - which is good. We will run a more thorough panel of tests on Monday morning and have a better idea of a cesarean date. The discussion today was that 34 to 35 weeks might be as far as we can get for Missy's health. We will be 34 weeks pregnant on Saturday. Luke and Lauren had an ultrasound today and they still look terrific! They look like they are just under 5 pounds each - which is great. No report back from pathology on the blood clots, but the urologist came by today and they won't look at anything until we are not pregnant anymore and they are not concerned. Missy appreciates the visits, cards, flowers and emails - they really keep her spirits up!
The only worry of the day was the daily weigh in - down a few more pounds. Missy's doctors think it's mostly water loss from swelling going down. However, she has heard about the dreaded "dietician" who will come and bring you a protein shake, then watch you drink it and double the meat on all your meal trays.
