C-section.

So, the results back from the Dr are that yes, I have preeclampsia and we're going in tomorrow to have a nonstress test done on Makenzie. Dr. Williams said that if she shows any signs of stress that we will be having a c-section tomorrow morning!!! I am on super bed rest. She said that I'm allowed to pee, go to the couch and go to bed, and that is it! Poor Shane has to take care of everything! I've had a headache pretty much since yesterday and she says if it gets any worse to go straight to the hospital. (SCARY) She said to pack a bag for our appt tomorrow b/c apparently she isn't too hopeful of us going back home.

Ok, so this makes me kinda happy that I'll get to meet our little girl...but then again I'm freaking out b/c I don't want there to be anything wrong either! Grr! I'm nervous about a c-section but then again, at least I won't have to try to squeeze a watermelon outta my little chicken! That would SO be painful! (Props to all the moms who have done it)

We celebrated Shane's B-day today just in case something like this were to happen. I'll post the pictures later. Along with pictures of our little baby girl...if we have her...at this point I'm not sure what I want. Do I want her here tomorrow? Of course. But under these circumstances? I don't know. The only good thing about this whole situation is that the preeclampsia will go away as soon as she is born! No more headaches, swelling, heartburn, double vision, nothing! And I will be able to sleep on my belly as soon as it heals! Ah! So I guess I am really hoping that we have it tomorrow! As long as Makenzie is going to be ok! And me too.

Well, I will let you all know what happens! I'm sure you'll find out before I post again. But next time I post, I'll have PICTURES!!! OOOOHH!
