Update on Laurel

Laurel's blood pressure has been up for the past week; so today, when she went for her appointment, the doctor decided he wanted to keep a closer watch on her. They are monitoring both her and the baby for a couple of days. If things stay as they are she'll probably come home on Sunday. Right now there are no complications - they are trying to prevent that. If she comes home she'll be on bed rest until the baby comes. She's been taking it easy for the last week but she insists on doing more than she should. I'm glad I'm here to help. Stevie isn't real thrilled that Mom's been gone all day and he'll probably get upset when she doesn't come home tonight but at least I know his routine and we'll follow that. He asks for her occasionally but I'm sure we'll be fine. She'll be 36 weeks on Sunday and at 37 weeks the baby is no longer considered a preemie. Her water broke with Stevie at 32 weeks and he was born a few days later. Keep her in your prayers and I'll keep you informed of any changes.

Love ya,
MOM
