Well, this is my second weekend in a row collecting urine in a big orange jug for my doctor. They say my proteins are out of whack and now the doc is keeping a close eye on me and Weston. When I say "out of whack" it means a normal urine protein level is between 0-150 and mine registered in at over 1,800. So, yeah!
This is the beginning of Toxemia and usually goes hand in hand with high blood pressure, resulting in the dreaded pregnancy condition known as Preeclampsia. So far, my blood pressure is a little bit higher than normal, but nothing to worry about. It's the kidney/protein thing that has our attention. The only cure is to give birth.
So, the bad news is...I will almost undoubtedly be delivering early (hopefully between week 36 and 37), and I have to visit the doctor twice a week from now on.
The good news is...I will have my baby boy in my arms within a month!!!!
And I can't wait to meet him face to face.
