Quick update

Hi all, just a quick update on today's developments. Around 9 am this morning Elizabeth developed a headache. As mentioned in the previous post, her blood pressure was high on Monday. The doctor told her to call if she got a headache.

They were able to get her in at 1:50 this afternoon. They checked her blood pressure and it was about the same as on Monday, still a little high. Both babies' heart rates were fine, and she even made a comment about Hannah being really active. That's the first time that's ever happened! Since Elizabeth had also been having some cramping today, they did an exam and said that she was "really thin" and that the baby's head was "right there."

The nurse practicioner went and consulted with Dr. Asdell for a few minutes. She came back and said they weren't going to do anything drastic. They sent us home with instructions to keep taking it easy, take Tylenol for the headache, and come back on Thursday to have another blood pressure/urine check. So, the appointment that I mentioned for tomorrow has been moved to Thursday. I'll check back in then.
