I am trying to remember to write weekly to remember what is going on in this pregnancy. I can't believe I am 36 weeks already. And, its looking like this pregnancy is going to result in a baby much sooner than I am feeling ready for....
Last week was good. Nothing major, everything at all of my appointments was pretty status quo. Its getting awfully tiring doing a 24 hour urine collection in addition to an OB appointment and 2 NST's a week. Last week at my OB appointment I did my Group B Strep test. I found out at my appointment last night that that came back negative. I don't think its a big deal they just need to know if you will need antibiotics at delivery. I also had my first cervix check. Long and closed. I guess thats good for 35 weeks...we dont want any pre term labor!
The weekend was nice....for the most part. Saturday I ran errands during the day. I am really doing too much and getting so tired and worn out. Saturday evening I went in to the city to meet up with Morgan (My college roommate). She came down with her friend Vicky who I really like and Vicky's friend Heather. They had massages during the day and then went shopping for a while. I met them and we hung out for a bit and then figured out dinner. They hadnt made any reservations and didnt really think about it being the weekend of the World Series parade...woo hooo. So, we just ended up at PF Changs. Its not my favorite but they all wanted to try it, so that was nice. After dinner we went back to their hotel and they all had some champagne and we hung out and talked and laughed. Around 10:30 Morgan was really wanting dessert so we went with Vicky over to the Cheesecake factory (these were all a block from their hotel). I got chocolate cake and they both got cheesecake. I ended up getting home just after midnight.
Sunday I spent a girls day with Heather. I headed to her house in the morning and we went to Target (one of our favorite stores!). After that we grabbed a quick snack and headed home to feed baby James. Then we headed to get massages. She paid for a prenatal massage for me which is something I would never pay for but was sooooo happy to receive it! It was amazing. I was always afraid that prenatal would be too light touch for me...I like deep tissue. It was amazing. After that we had a late lunch at California Pizza Kitchen and headed back to their house. Let's just stop there because it was a perfect day. Sal and I ended up getting in a blow out fight after that...its all good now. I don't want to talk about it because it makes me sad. It was awful....
So, yesterday. I had an appt after work. I got on the scale and had gained 10 lbs...in fluid. I havent been eating much because I have been pooping everything out (sorry TMI). I had lost 7 lbs in the week before from being so sick. And my feet and ankles are huge. Then they took my BP and it was 150/90....off to the hospital they send me! I am still here. They have my bp down to much closer to normal...134/84 or so. They are waiting for my labs to see kidney and liver function. Its looking like this baby will be coming in the next week or so. They are trying to wait until I get to 37 weeks which would be Sunday and induce me on Monday but if my levels are wacky now they may do that sooner. We shall see. I am soooooo not ready for this but I dont have much choice!
I will be back soon! Just wanted to check in and update!
