Cole was born on 9/24.  I went to my weekly drs appt and my blood pressure was really high.  They finnaly cared about the bad swelling i've had in my calves and feet that i've had for weeks!  Also i had protein in my urine still which i knew that i didn't have a uti before.  I knew they should've paid attention to this stuff more before.  Anyways i was sent to the hospital.  They knew right away they were gonna keep me but tried to hide it kinda.  They said they'd set up an IV in my hand just in case while they waited for bloodwork.  They finnaly told me that i wouldn't leave without a baby.  They put me on an IV to stop me from having a seizure because of high bp.  It made me feel like crap.  Well i had preclampsia and it was already bad.  They told me i would have an emergency c-section as soon as my lunch emptied from my stomach.  So thats what happened.  It was uncomforatable and i got really bad nasuea during it.  I shook like crazy cause i guess your body goes into shock.  I'll never forget them breaking the sac,  it sounded like a water balloon popping and water spraying everywhere.  I had no idea what was going on but one of the doctors told me.  The c-section was nice and quick though at least.  He was born at 8:15 pm and cried for so long when he was out.  He was 5.6 pounds and 18 inches and has already surpassed his birth weight at a week old.  Having a c-sec wasn't too bad and i didn't have to deal with labor at least.  The scar is like nothing and my stomach is almost gone already.  But if you're pregnant and think something is wrong, nag and nag the doctor.  I knew that things were wrong such as the swelling and knowing i didn't have a uti when i had protein in my urine but they kinda just ignored it untill it was really bad.  But anyways me and baby are happy and healthy, just took a while to get a chance to get on the computer.  so busy lol!
