August 3rd 2011 proved to be a game changer of a day for us. The days following until Bailey was born, on August 6th, were filled with emotion, concern, anxiety and pretty much any other emotion possible.
Today, one year ago, our whole story of Bailey started. For me at least. I had gone to Bunco on August 2nd of last year. David was out of town in Vegas for work, and Tucker was spending a few days with my in-laws so I could rest. But, since it was the last Bunco for this group, David said it would be OK if I went. I was up late that night, so I woke up Wednesday, August 3rd, and just didn’t feel right. I debated whether or not I should call my Dr. to go in for a Blood Pressure (BP) check. I finally decided that it is better safe than sorry. So I called and they told me to come in. I sent David a text just to let him know. At my appointment I had 4+ protein in my urine and my BP was 142/98. The nurse had taken my BP, so to be sure she went and got the Dr. so he could check it out. My Dr. was on call at the hospital so I was able to see Dr. Harder. He had me adjust the way I was laying, and it changed my BP. He still wanted to be sure that I was OK, so he had me do a 24-hour urine collection so they could check for protein. He also scheduled for me to have an ultra sound on Friday afternoon (remember, it was Wednesday). Tucker was coming home that day, and we had him all scheduled to spend the next day with Krista Morgan. I text David and told him that he needs to call me as soon as he had a break. I quickly got a return phone call. We weren’t too concerned, but definitely had heightened senses to what could be going on.
Shortly after I got home from the Dr. my father-in-law came with Tucker. I was SO excited to see my little Bubba. We had a nice relaxing evening that night. I remember I wanted to spend as much time as possible with him because I knew that my time with him alone was getting short. Oh how I love my little Bubba!
Check back tomorrow for what happened next…
