32 weeks 3 days

I got a less than awesome report from Doc Mag today. My blood pressure was even higher than last week (151 over 82 or close to that). When I laid on my side for a bit, the pressure lowered to like 126/80 (mine normally has been 111/60). There were traces of protein in my urine, and I have gained another 5lbs of fluid in the week since I last saw her. She said I was showing signs of preeclampsia. She did not feel compelled to put me in the hospital, but told me I may end up there. She wants to see me again next week, and for now I am to rest. If I have any upper abdominal pain or changes in vision or other symptom that concerns me, to call her.

So, that's where we are. I've also been experiencing a lot of Braxton Hicks contractions. I told her about them, and she said she was not really concerned about contractions... that "they would continue to happen."

COME ON 34 WEEKS.... we need to make it at least there. SO CLOSE!
