So, here I am updating my blog from the hospital...with a new baby!! It all started on Friday morning when I woke up around 4:30am, with what i thought were really bad contractions. But the pain never stopped and was just on my right side under my ribs. So I went to the doctors office that morning. They thought I might have gallstones (really common) in pregnancy, but they wanted to do an ultrasound and blood work to make sure. I did all that and was sent home to wait for "the call". The pain went away, I took a nap, no big deal, right? I get the call saying that the ultrasound was completely normal, but my blood work came back with really high levels of liver enzymes. I was then told that I need to be up to the hospital within the hour and I was being admitted and more than likely having the baby!! Needless to say, I was not expecting this. We still have 5 weeks to go, he's going to be in the NICU, we didn't have a name picked out, all sorts of things ran through my mind. I got there and they decided to monitor me through the night and if things didn't get better..he's out! I was diagnosed with Hellp's Syndrome. The only option they had for me was delievery or my kidney and liver would start shutting down. They watched me through the night, things didn't get better....and I was in the operating room on Saturday morning!!
