....and unfortunately probably not the last. Barb and I are currently at the hospital, sitting around. We did quite a flip flop today....two visits to Sarpy County OB/GYN, and now Methodist.
Yesterday, we had a scheduled visit with Dr. Robertson. When they put the monitor on the watch the baby's heartbeat, Barb started having some fairly intense contractions very often. Sounded like she was ready to go any minute, but we headed home to wait for things to progress.
She had a scheduled appointment this morning and her blood pressure was high. It's been pretty high on a regular basis, but it was even higher than normal. So we went home, and she was to be on very strict bed rest. After dinner however, she got a pretty bad headache, that Tylenol and lunch hadn't resolved, so back to Sarpy Co. They took her blood pressure again, and it was about the same, so they had her wait a bit and rest, and took it again, but it was higher. So, they made the decision to send us to the hospital to deliver as the pressure just wasn't really safe for anyone.
The hospital was pretty uneventful. Lots of sitting and waiting, some labs that said everything was fine, and more sitting and waiting.....might have been beter had it not seems like they forgot about us. Eventually, they should be allowing us to head home assuming everything else comes though fine which I suspect it will. So just sitting and waiting.....

I'm am still rather annoyed with Dr. McFadden, for saying one thing and then doing the complete opposite.
