26 weeks

Well we are 26 weeks pregnant. :) The baby now weighs over a pound and a half. His sense of hearing is getting more tuned this week and he is starting to breath in small amounts of amniotic fluid which will help his lungs develop. Last week we went to see the perinatologist and got a 3D ultrasound but he had his hand in front of his face. She also wanted to monitor my BP so she had me admited to the hospital for 24s. Vince and I both learned a hospital stay is no place to get any rest. After 24 hours I was released to go home. We monitored my BP over the weekend and checked in with the OB on Monday. She gave us good news, she said my readings were looking better and although she didn't think it was a good idea to return to work, she said I could relax a little on the bed rest and get up and do small things as long as I monitored my BP and rested often. Vince has been very busy at work so thankfully my parents have cooked us dinner several nights lately. We are doing well and will keep everyone posted.

24 weeks

Well we hope everyone had a great Easter. I know it has been a while since we last posted and we don't have any new picture but wanted to update everyone on the pregnancy. Today marks the 24 week mark for us which is an important milestone in the fetal development. About 5 weeks ago when we went to the doctor for our big ultrasound to find out It's a boy we also found out that I had high blood pressure that was at dangerous levels. We went to Colorado for the weekend and saw a cardiologist on our return. He placed me on medication that worked for a while but my blood pressure was till rising at times. Last Monday while at work my OB called to check my BP readings and directed me to go immediately home and start modified bed rest. So I have been on modified bed rest for a whole week now. At first the rest was helping but over the weekend they rose again. Yesterday they changed my medication and it seems to of helped. They will continue to monitor and have refered us to a perinatologist for further evalutaion. The good news is even with the high blood pressure Trey is still growing on schedule. He measured 1 pound 2 ounces at our last appt last week, and is in the 37% percentile. We will keep all of y'all posted as much as we can. Please keep us and baby Trey in your prayers.

On a happy note we did get to make our annual trip this weekend for one my favorite traditions to take pictures in the Texas bluebonnets and I will post pics soon.
