Huge Update!! 39 weeks!-Induction!

So... I know I've been a bad blogger over the weekend but I was actually pretty busy!!
Friday we got our lovely tax check so we went and got a few last minute things for Maddux--even though I still feel like I need some more stuff... we also purchased our new couch then Hubs had to work so I did some homework & looked for some new blogs to follow!

Saturday we had a 6 hour church seminar "The Case for Christianity" It was a long day and I was swelled up like crazy (worse than ever before) then after the seminar we got together with my friends went out to dinner then back to our place to play Quelf-- it was so much fun to get together with all my friends one last time before the baby would be coming!

Sunday we had church then we went to lunch with my parents and to pick up the couch then we just relaxed for a couple hours before we went to our Financial Peace University Class--it was on Debt Dumping (great class) then we did our usual dinner and starbucks with my fam!

Overall, we had a GREAT weekend!! Now onto the good stuff!!

So Saturday & Sunday my feet and ankles were HUGE-- like scary big to the point I called L & D to see what I needed to do because they hurt they were so swollen & what not! They told me to try a nice warm bath and just to elevate them like always so thats what I did it didn't help much but I knew I had an appt today so I wasn't overly concerned about it....
So we go to our appt I was still pretty swollen but not to bad actually and we get there and I get weighed and I had gained another 7 lbs in one week my blood pressure was high and I again had protein in my urine so when the doc came in he said that he wanted to have the baby come sometime this week-- I was relieved hearing this after hearing about all the signs of preeclampsia were back I would just rather be safe than sorry and evict the little guy before something got worse!
Dr. said he would be right back so he left while Jayce and I sat and discussed how we couldn't believe that we would be coming back sometime this week to have a baby unreal to finally be at this point
So the Dr comes back in and says he wants us to come back to the hospital at 7 pm TONIGHT! I couldn't believe I thought he would want to see us in a couple days but nope he wanted us here tonight so...
here we are
In Labor & Delivery
We have been here for a hour and a half
We just got something inserted to ripen my cervix
We will switch to something else tomorrow morning around 7--either pitocin or just something else to help put me in "active labor"
We will for sure have a baby in 24-36 hours!! I'm hoping for more of 24 or less but you never know this could be a slow process!
The baby is doing great right now his heart rate is around 135
So we are doing good!
I'm still only 1cm dialated & I am 70% effaced!
I'm hoping to post tomorrow with a little more info for you guys!
Can't believe today is here and he will be here soooo soon!!

gotta love hospital gowns!

Week 36-- doctor appointment update!

Ok so I posted about my doctor appointment I had earlier in the week. {check it out here}  I told you all about the symptoms I was having & such.  Well since that appointment I have kept a very close eye on my blood pressure & was still very concerned with what was going on.  I absolutely could not wait another minutre for our appointment today! We started out with getting the biophysical ultrasound done-- they measured everything, checked his heart, lungs, kidneys, bladder, etc.  they all looked good & then she just watched for movement (which like I mentioned in the other post has been veryyyyyy minimal)  He wasn't moving hardly at all so she went and got this little buzzer thing that made a weird nose and vibrated she put it on my belly right where his head was and pushed it-- he didn't move so she did it again and got a small amount of movement out of him but not much so she did it again and he still just had little reaction to this but he was breathing very fast like it scared him but he still just didn't move much so she said that she would let the doc know and he would make a decision on what to do.  So after the ultrasound we had our meeting with the doc. did the norm weight= no gain today, blood pressure=in the "normal" range, protien in the urine= just a trace which is normal. So when the doc came in he was happy that all of that stuff was normal and he also said that the baby scored a 8 out of 8 on the biophysical! I am experiencing horrible swelling today so he didn't like that and told me I was no longer able to work that I had to have 2-3 hours of bed rest a day (hubs said he said twice a day but my mom and I only heard 2-3 hours a day so?) I was so glad that things looked normal today but I was reduced to tears still because I just feel like something is wrong that he is better out here in the real world than inside me... I feel like my body is going to fail him-- because just because everything is normal today doesn't mean tomorrow won't be a bad day... so I expressed how I felt to the doc and I also told him about the movement & he said that he was concerned also and that Monday we would come in to do a non-stress test on the baby to check movement and heart and such... so I'm glad that he is still taking steps to make sure that baby is ok and he said that he would rather have him out too before something bad happens and what not... so we "may" get induced next week... I will be full term on Monday!!!

Other Exciting news... He is currently weighing 6 lbs 14 oz!!! so he is a healthy weight!!

I am looking forward to the test Monday because I am only feeling him have very small light movements and I'm only feeling it about once an hour but there are times I will go 2 hours with no movement so I look forward to knowing he's still ok!

Also, baby shower is Sunday!! Can't wait for this!! :)

Vote for us??

Motivation?= Success!

So I was able to clean my living room, kitchen & the bathroom!!

I still need to do the computer room & our bedroom-- I also need to do laundry.

Yay! For what I did accomplish though!! :)

Thinking I may need to reward myself by going & getting a pedicure!

But I've used all my energy & not sure I feel like getting ready.

Onto the swelling & water retention I wrote about on my previous post!

a. my cankles that have appeared!

b. one of the swollen ankles.

c. if you press on my ankles or my legs it leaves a indent like the one shown above that stays for quite awhile it is not pretty & I'm thinking its pretty bad but I never noticed swelling until the other day and they were already like this!  

These pictures don't do the swelling of my legs and ankles justice-- It looks worse in person!

{any suggestions other than to keep my feet up & to watch my sodium would be awesome}
