Mild Preeclampsia

Well, I guess my high blood pressure finally caught up to me. Even though my blood pressure has been regulated, I've been diagnosed with a mild form of Preeclampsia, a.k.a. Toxemia. The baby is still doing fine. At the ultrasound yesterday he was estimated to weigh 6 pounds! If I have to deliver early, the fact he is a little chunky monkey should help. Anyway, the doctor would not allow me to travel to Fort Wayne today for the baby shower, so James is standing in for me. I wish I could be there to see that! Hopefully they will take lots of pictures so I can post them later.

Here is some info on Preeclampsia, from two of my favorite resources:
