Hospital

To let everyone know what happen on Monday, Rachel had to do some testing on the Friday before, because when she went into her OB appointment on Wednesday her protein levels in her urine were high and the doctor was worried about her having Preclampsia. So that was the reason for the tests on Friday. So we went into the doctors on Monday morning to find what the results were; when the nurse at asked her to come back later that afternoon to see the doctor. At the appointment they monitor the babies heart rates and the contraction, all three levels were very high along with Rachel's blood pressure, because of the levels the doctor sent us to the Hospital to delivery the babies. We were very excited and worried at the same time because we did not really know what was going to happen except we thought we were finally going to have ours babies in are arms. At the hospital they monitored the three of them and did more lab work to see what the next plan of action was. All night long and half the day the next Rachel's and the babies levels went down. The specialist doctor came and said they could take them now, but they would have to stay in the hospital for a week or so. The doctor sent her home and put her on light bed rest and wanted her to wait another week. Rachel was not happy she just wanted the babies out and she told the doctor that she is not going past 37 weeks, which her OB said she would not. So needless to say the babies are not here yet, but that is ok because there lungs will develop more. Rachel will be 37 weeks on the 25th of June.
