    Thanks for the update Glenda. I've been thinking of you all since I read your first message. I hope you're taking care of yourself while Heather is in hospital. Please try not to worry too much or overdo things.
    I've still got everything tightly crossed that all goes well for Heather. I'm so glad the headache has gone. Now we have to wait and see when they decide to do the C. Section. I know she's in the best hands but it's still a very stressful time for everyone. Take care of yourself and tell Heather she's constantly in our thoughts and hearts.

    Ok then Glenda-- that gives me a pretty good idea of how things are going there. I stand 100% behind Daisy when she says that she feels that Montana is where you need to be. Absolutely.
    It is a shame that they have to do a C-section a month early, but I am sure the docs have carefully weighed the pro's and con's and feel that it is in the best intrests of mother and baby.
    I have my fingers tightly crossed here....eating is a bit of a problem that way, but ach--I can live with that for a few days. ;)
    Take care.

    That's good news Glenda. Have you been over to the hospital to see Heather? Are the boys home yet?

    Thank goodness for that. High blood pressure can be so worrying. Now we'll keep sending our healing thoughts so that it stays down. I hope Heather is feeling more relaxed now.

    Goodness me. I have just caught up with this and am sending you all lots of love. I suffered with very high BP with both my pregnancies and spent the last month in hospital when I carried Jessica. A very worrying time, but at least in hospital, she and baby can be closely monitered. Lots of love.

    Just thought since I had a minute I would chime in :-D Thank all of y'all for your prayers and well wishes for Baby Elijah and myself. I had a wonderful pregnancy til about 3 weeks ago and it seems that out of owhere I developed preeclampsia,which is the fancy term for pregnancy induced high blood pressure. I had it with Trey and Logan,but it didn't show up til the last 2 weeks of the pregnancies. My bp was 188/110 when I was admitted on the 15th and here I sit ever since. :'( But it is the best place for both of us. My doctor is a day to day kind of guy and we are just trying to keep Eli in his little home til I am at least 34 or 35 weeks pregnant. 40 weeks would be great,but with my blood pressures going up and down it more than likely won't stay stable. It's been pretty low all day so that is a good sign and I pray I don't get anymore headaches like I had the night before Thanksgiving. They are pretty sure it was from one of the bp meds I'm taking. So I will close for now and try to check in from time to time. I know Mama will keep y'all updated too! Take care!

    Heather, how wonderful to hear directly from you! It sounds like you are doing a fantastic job of taking care of baby Eli! I'm so glad you're feeling better today. It sounds like you are in good hands. Take good care -- and my prayer and good thoughts will continue!
