Gracyn's take on the baby: She is just patiently awaiting his arrival!
After my 24 hour observation stay in the hospital, everything has been great. No swelling at all, my blood pressure is back down to normal ranges, and my urine and blood test have all come back normal! The doctor still took me out of work, but said I could work from home. So that is what I'm doing. I'm on limited activity restriction. She just wants to make sure we keep him in there as long as possible!
