There's not much to report around here. Which is actually good in the scheme of things. Still pregnant, still anxious. Bedrest seems to be working, to the extent that my blood pressure continues to waiver between normal and high normal, but not going any higher. Protein levels remain normal. Sunflower is growing big and strong. But I can hardly relax...pre-eclampsia can suddenly escalate at any time, which is why the daily monitoring at home and the three times weekly doctor's appointments are so important. I am doing my best to stay present in the positive, to trust in what is to come. But it's a strangely liminal place to be, when I don't know if I'm going to be pregnant for one more day, week or month. I'd really like to fastforward to the part when I'm finally home with Sunflower in my arms.

I wish I had a fast forward button...or a snooze button I can hit for you until you get to wake up with a baby in your arms.

I can understand your feelings. Makes due dates seem really ridiculous, which is why I'm kinda refusing (denying?) to claim my own.
Hang tough.
Can't wait to see those photos of you holding Sunflower in your arms at home. It will come. Keep trusting, keep seeing it in your mind and heart. Love you.
wishing we could all fast forward time. glad that things are stable and sunflower is growing big and strong...one day at a time.
sending you love and moments of relaxation
