Reading the red...

I had bloodwork taken early this morning (5am) and had the results back by breakfast. My creatinine level remained unchanged from my last test. My BUN number went up by one to 19. That's the one that has a cutoff of 20. Dr Gooch, my OB, is off for the weekend, so the earliest I'll have another blood draw would likely be Tuesday. I wish they would just wait and test on Wed or even Thurs so that I could hit that 33 week date first! But, we'll see.

In the meantime, my contractions have increased in the last week. They are Braxton Hicks (non-painful) so the doctors are just keeping an eye on them and want me to let them know the minute they become painful. And the babies are still doing wonderful with their heartrate monitoring. Dr Gooch's partner stopped by this morning to let me know that she's very impressed by how mature the babies heartrates and responses are tracking. Go, babies!!

From my window, I've seen the life flight helicopter a few times in the sky. On his way in to see me, Jeff happened to catch the copter on take-off. This photo is so impressive for two reasons. 1) It catches the copter lifting off the ground and 2) He took this amazing photo with only a Blackberry!

Thanks for your continued support and love!
