Yesterday was Thanksgiving. David got to take me outside for the first time in over three weeks. It was kind of surreal to think that I hadn’t even been off the labor and delivery floor since November 5th. David pushed me around the hospital grounds in the fresh afternoon air. It felt so good to be outside.

We returned to my hospital room to find out that my protein levels were high and that I was heading towards pre-eclampsia. So, no more walks. All bed rest, all the time. And, a few more tests to stay on top of any symptoms. Also, we were told there was a chance that the boys would need to be delivered early. The only way to stop pre-eclampsia is to deliver.

My feet and legs were definitely more swollen and the swelling hadn’t subsided overnight like it usually does. With the results of another test back early this evening the doc made the decision to deliver the boys tomorrow at noon.

So, we’re going to be parents in just over twelve hours. I doubt we’ll get much sleep tonight, our last night before parenthood.
