Well, now I’m worried. Candy was admitted to the hospital for her pre-eclampsia and has to stay there until the baby is born

I know that now that she is in the hospital and being constantly monitored, that the chances of something seriously bad happening is much lower, but I am still anxious. The only “cure” for pre-eclampsia is delivery, but she is still only 34 weeks, and if the baby could hang out for another 2-3 weeks, she could go home with her mama and papa instead of having to stay in an incubator her first weeks. I’m just praying that Candy and her baby (Mischa) can hang on a while longer with risk to either of them.

I talked with Mike some yesterday, and he is being very strong and calm. I know the focus is on Candy and the baby, but this must be so hard for him, too. I know when I was first pregnant, Doug shared with me that his biggest fear was losing me.

On a more positive note, I am VERY excited to see and hold their baby for the first time. Not as excited as they are, I know, but as excited as an “aunt” could be.
