What A Week

The week we had a bit of a scare...we ended up in the emergency room at 3 am Monday morning. Turns out Emily had a UTI. She was treated in the emergency room and then sent to Labor and Delivery so they could monitor the baby. Apparently if you get a UTI while you are pregnant it can lead to perterm labor. The nurses hooked Emily up to a baby monitor and she showed no sign of going into labor and the baby was doing well so they sent us home. Emily was put on bed-rest until she could see her OBGYN on Thursday.

Everything was okay when we went to see the doctor on Thursday. Emily is not showing any signs of preterm labor. I think we were both releived when we saw the baby with the sonogram.

We have decided to change to a doctor closer to home since Emily's dostor is in Plano (which is about 45 minutes away). We have an appointment to see a doctor that specializes in high risk pregnancy. We actually have to got to a consultation and then the doctor will decide if he will treat her or refer her to another doctor. Either way I think it will be better in the long run to have a doctor closer to home.
