Take 2....

So Take 2 better not be for at least another 3 to 4 weeks. I'm up right now because I spent most of the day sleeping as last night wasn't a restful night...although I really was relaxed. As we packed up and drove to the hospital, all I could think was, "If we have to do this tonite, I am ready for it", and that feeling kept me calm through the high bp readings, through having to wait for an OB for 3 hours to decide next steps, and through the cursing woman in labor that came into triage. She was trying to tell the triage nurse that she knew exactly how her labor would progress as this was her fourth, and everytime she tried to get a word in, a contraction would hit and she was loud! I shouldn't laugh but it was a little funny. I had to find some humor in what was happening to us...especially since I didn't know what the night would bring.

So in any case, I'm home and spent the day in bed. What Abbas didn't mention is that Dr. Pittini said to stop working. Argh...the 2 words I was sort of dreading as I still had 2 weeks to go.
It's really hard to argue or go against the doctors advice as pre-eclampsia can be very serious.
My compromise (with myself) is to work from home for 1 more week and take an extra 4 days vacation. I'm ok with the decision now....the thought of endagering the baby is something I can't even come to grips with.
