Baby Corbin

Okay so I really am going to try to use this page as I don't know what the near future holds for us with baby Corbin. I have had hypertension (high blood pressure) for some time but it is more dangerous in pregnancy. Well I went for my 30 week visit with Dr. Hong on Thursday and my blood pressure was too high and he has me maxed on my medications now and is concerned. He took me off work, put me on bedrest and he is sending me to a specialist on Monday. He wants to run a few tests himself and have the specialist check everything out to be sure the baby is getting good circulation still. He said they will probably do some special ultrasounds to be sure. Dr. Hong had bloodwork done and I have to collect a 24 hour urine specimen starting in the morning.
Monday we will go to Dr. BK (Bors-Koefoed) in Memphis. He is a Maternal Fetal Specialist. Not sure what to expect or how I feel about all this. I just keep thinking what ever it takes to get Corbin here healthy. Dr. Hong says depending on what my blood pressure is Monday he may go ahead and give me steroids to help develop Corbin's lungs so if he has to take him early. I am of course a little worried. I know -don't stress- its not good for the baby. but how do you not worry some? Then there's the aspect of I am not due for 10 weeks and will be off work that time plus after I have him. That's a lot of time off work!! But we will be fine! I just don't like not being in control or able to plan.
Anyway I will try to keep updates on here. but that's enough worrying for tonight. I'm keeping my mind off of it as much as I can by doing things for my cousin Tosha's baby shower that is next Saturday the 26th. Her Parker is due just a couple weeks after Corbin, but she lives in Texas so they wont get to be friends like she and I were growing up. I hate that but I'm so excited for her, this is their first baby. And doing her shower gives me the opportunity to do some crafts, which I love to do. I will post specifically about the shower stuff separately and try to put pictures on here too. I know people look for easy inexpensive decorations for events like showers. I would love to do that kind of stuff or plan events and have been told I should by several people but I just have to continue to work full time but like to share the info and maybe do a little on the side as far as crafts and decorations.
That's all for tonight! Be back on before too long I hope.

Baby on the Way!

Well we will see if I can do this again! May not get too far but thought I would try! Emma is now 5 and we have a baby boy, Corbin, on the way!! He should be here just in time for Easter. Emma is so excited to be a big sister (most of the time). I would love to have time to blog on various different things, but have found that I didn't have time in the past for that. I will give this a try agian and Ill see if I can at least occasionally post some updates on here. I would like to use this to keep in touch with family and friends out of town/state. I don't know how well that's gonna work.
I want to do some more creative things. Doing a blog is one thing Ive been thinking of. Ive just started trying to sew and make some things for Emma and baby Corbin. I am going to try to knit some too. I just have a lot of different crafty and creative things on my mind. Maybe I can tackle some of them.
Well I like getting on her and just checking out the different things posted and I have a find that just started a blog for her wonderful embroidered items!!! I look forward to that most!!!
