Well freinds, I'm 37 weeks today!!
AKA officially full term
AKA one week to the day before I had Conner
AKA I could go at any time! And it might mean nothing at all but today I got and followed the urge to clean all my bathrooms, vacuum all my floors and re-organize my closet. Nesting anyone?? just sayin...
So I feel like I'm pretty much ready for this little girl to make her appearance. (well I'm ready in the stuff aspect. I'm not so sure anybody is really ready to push a baby out.) But I have to keep her in until at least the 15th (saturday) because it is THE FINAL tax deadline and I absoutley positutely refuse to have another tax season birthday in this family. 3 more days then I don't chare when the heck she comes. I had a Dr apointment on Monday which ended in a cry fest (don't worry, everything is fine, I'm just a pregnant basket case) My BP was a tiny bit high at the first of my apt (although it's been purrrrfect at home) so my dr had them check it again after my apt and it was a little higher. Dang it! The nurse went and talked to Doc and she said to have me sit in the exam room for 10 min and then try again and if it was still high I'd need to go to the hospital to be checked out. Well I'm not sure that Doc wanted to nurse to tell me that last part because that's not what you tell someone who needs to stay calm. But she told me and shut me in a room all by myself for 10 min. and what else was I supposed to do but cry? I mean honestly! I thought I had done a really good job of not super crying and maybe the nurse wouldn't notice (ha!) But she came in and said "oh no! No crying!" I'm sure that she was just trying to be nice but that's the second thing you don't do because when you acknowledge that someone has been crying it just makes it worse. And I didn't even need to go to nurse school to learn that! So after she said that I lost it. And then silly nurse still took my blood pressure even though it was bound to be sooooo high because of my cryfest. and it was. It was like 158/103. (remember, 140/90 is when they worry) She asked if I wanted a few minutes to calm down and check again before sending me to the hospital. Well duh. YES I wanted to try again! She forgot to close the door and since the flood gates had been opened instead of calming down I just got worse. My doc walked by and came in just as the nurse was coming back. Doc said "I can't check her BP now! There's no way it will be right!" So she told me that she didn't think that it was PE and that I should go home and relax and check at home and let her know if it creeps up again. Wow that was a really long story! and probably kind of boring. sorry! I don't even know if I meant to tell the whole thing but since I spent so much time typing it we'll just leave it.
But good news, I had an ultrasound and she is approx. the weight that Conner was when he was born! (5lb 10oz) which is still small but not 2 weeks behind like she has been measuring!
And that's the news! and here are some pics!

You're so cute in all your pregnant pictures! It kinda makes me feel better because I feel like a lard butt at only 4 months, but your baby was showing then too (not that you were a lard butt), so it's okay if my baby is showing. I can't wait to come see you and little girl!!
ReplyDeleteI'm so excited for you! Her room looks so great!!! I can't wait to see pictures of your little girl!
