So we were so excited that I beat the odds, had a full term baby and didn't get sick. Yesterday, I felt great and we had a good day getting to know each other, Lily met Baby Brother and we had some visitors.
Late evening, I started not feeling so well and Grayson wanted to cluster feed so we did that and I snuck in a cat nap. The nurse came and got Grayson and took him at about three so I could sleep and I did. At 4:30 he lied to the nurses and told them he was starving so they bought him in and he snuggled up and went to sleep.
So I put him in his bassinet and he was screaming in 5 minutes. I pick him up and he sleeps. This goes on until7:30. Daddy tried to take him but he stayed fussy unless I was holding him so I couldn't sleep anyways so took him back.
I finally got him down and crashed hard all morning while daddy took Grayson. I barely woke when the doctor came in and slept pretty much until 11. But all day I just felt... Off, vague and almost like I was hung over. But I napped a lot and chalked it up to being tired.
Took a shower and started getting ready to go home and we find out that with my bp being a little high and me not feeling well, they were going to run some labs.
Did you know you can get preeclampsia AFTER the baby is born? yup. Nothing is bad at this point but we decided that it's better to keep me here tonight where Grayson can stay with me and run some magnesium to be on the safe side rather then send me home and have something happen and have to be re-admitted.
Odds are it would be fine but odds and I and babies don't play well together.
So it's all good just annoying and I REALLY did not like being on magnesium last time. It made me sick. AND when they moved me to a new room, the TV was broken. Again.
I think I'm keeping this off fb tonight to keep the audience a little smaller.
