21 weeks today!!!

The most amazing thing to wake up to - knowing that I've made it through another week with babies in tow. My blood pressure was a fabulous 117/77 this morning - the lowest it's been, well, since before nursing school I'll bet! Finally, it's SHOWER DAY today!!! So, the story about the showers - I am allowed to use the actual bathroom all the time (they actually considered not letting me even do that) and I can shower ever few days. Ha - for a person that would bathe 3 times a day if offered and sit in a bathtub for hours, this is HUGE! Brent laughed when he heard about the restrictions saying, "I have no doubt that you can handle the rest of it, but the showers, oh my!" My mom said the same. I said," if it gives me more time with this pregnancy, I won't shower for the rest of it (but someone better bring me some baby wipes or something)!" So, whatever they are doing, it seems to be working and I'm not going to mess with the plan. Even the doctors admit that they don't really understand my sudden turn around. I am only appreciative - and I enjoy my showers more. My last labs were drawn yesterday and I will have another set done on Sunday and Monday and probably see the specialist again then. Yesterday's labs remain stable. My anemia is a little better and my liver function remains normal. My platelets looked good as well (they are worried about the development of HELLP syndrome). So, that's the update for today. I'll see if I can figure out how to post some photos on here - I ave my belly photos to 18 weeks or so - it'll be harder to take them now, but I'll see what I can do. Tata and Happy Wednesday!!!
