January Baby?!?!

January baby now?!?!  Looking more likely that our little Brantley will be coming in January, not in February.  All of my test results from last week looked good, but I am still on level 1 bedrest.  I am so sick of this.  It is difficult to just sit/lay here when I feel fine.  I tried to ask the doctor if it could be just white coat syndrome, but he said there was no way to tell and we needed to take precautions.  He says I have gestational hypertension.  I became pretty upset at my appointment today.

He sent me to the hospital for my now weekly stress test.  We also started steroid shots to build Brantley's lungs if he does come early.  I have to go back tomorrow for my second round of steroid shots.  My stress test this time did not go well, but I was pretty upset.  My blood pressure was high, as I laid there crying.  Trent called while I was at the hospital, and heard how upset I was he came rushing to the hospital (I told him NOT to come,)  I did feel better and started calming down once I got to talk to him and see him.  He is most of the time, my relaxation medication.  He is always so calm, but I think he was a little nervous because he was at the hospital in no time.  Trenton is amazing!  Brantley and I are fine, but he is probably coming early since I have blood pressure spikes.  Our small goal is 2 weeks, and big goal is 4 weeks.  So, here is to 2 to 4 weeks of continued boredom.
