Quick Pregnancy Update

I just thought I would quickly update everyone since I have started getting emails asking if I was ok since we haven't posted in a few days. I just went to the doctor this morning and things are looking really good. My blood pressure has been surprisingly low which was the biggest worry before. I guess the pre-eclampsia can go in waves and can change very quickly, but I am pretty happy that things seem to be going well for now. This week will be 32 weeks for me which is a pivotal week for preemies as preemies born after 32 weeks tend to have less severe problems and almost always recover quickly. So, that's a good mark for us to hit! I won't find out the results of my 24 hour protein test until Thursday but I am optimistic that things will look fine. So, still on bed rest, still just holding out until Mags decides she wants to come :).
I will post pictures of my cutie pie kids later--- they have been pretty sweet lately.
