Appointment update

Well, this appointment was pretty uneventful. No changes to my cervix or anything. I was hoping I was dilated a little more, but nope, no changes. Poo. My Strep B results came back negative, which is good. My next appointment is on Thursday with the doctor who will be delivering the baby. This is my last appointment before the induction! I can't believe that in 12 days I will officially be a mommy!! :-D

Eviction notice!

Well, my little man has finally been served his eviction notice! The Dr called today and told me I was on the schedule to be induced on June 10th!! That's 13 days away!!!!!!!!! It feels so good to have an offical date and know that i'm penciled in to be induced. Ahh.... hopefully these next 12 days will fly by! I'm sooooo ready to hold my baby and be a mommy! Mason is excited and ready to be a daddy too!!! :-D
Now that we have an official date set, it feels like we have so much left to do to get ready for his arrival! As soon as I got off the phone with Dr Baker I threw a bunch of baby stuff (blankets, onsies, bibs) into the washer and I started organizing some of the baby stuff we just had laying around.

Man, oh man....13 days......whew....

*in shock*

Charger found + TMI alert!

I finally found the charger to my digital camera! I was getting worried that I wouldn't find it before going into labor and I wouldn't have any pics of me and the baby in the hospital. Mason found it yesterday, in the kitchen, under the griddle (weird, I know). Since it also records videos I was thinking about doing a pregnancy vlog on here and on YouTube. But then I realized that, although I found the charger, I have no idea where the cord is to hook the cam to the computer. If its not one thing, its the other, right? Blah. So now i'll be spending my time looking for that.

At last weeks Dr's appointment (Friday) I was told I was starting to dilate. I told Mason that and he went into panic mode thinking the baby was about to drop out any second, so he ran off to Wally World and got all the last minute baby things we needed. Then he made me pack my hospital bag (which I needed to do anyway). So we're set now, ready to go! Sunday night after I took my shower I realized that I now have leaky nipples. Luck me, right? They're super sensitive too. Now even having the water hit them in the shower hurts like hell!

I woke up at about 2:30 am today and had a horrible headache. I couldn't get back to sleep no matter how hard I tried. So I took a Tylenol, but I got no relief. So I just rolled around in bed, trying to fall asleep, till 4am rolled around and Mason's alarm started going off. The noise from it was so loud and annoying that I made him turn it off and get up and leave for work about an hour early just so I didn't have to hear that damn alarm. Plus once he was gone I could take over the whole bed. After he left, I fell back asleep, haha! I guess I just needed the whole bed to myself. :) I slept in till about 10:30 and when I woke up I was still a little achey, but definitly better than before!

Yay for visitors!

Michelle came over today, yay! It was nice to have a visitor instead of spending all day home alone. We went out and had Chinese food for lunch and then we just hung out at my house for a few hours. It was nice to have a reason to put on real clothes instead of PJ's, and do my makeup. I'm stuck at home on bedrest, why would I get all glamed up when i'm just farting around the house all day? :-P Now i'm just waiting for hubby to get home.

Yesterday I was a bad preggo. Bedrest doesn't work for me to well, haha! I organized my side of the bedroom. It looked like a hurrican hit. It was a complete disaster! It seriously looked like my closet had vomited everywhere. I should of taken 'before' pictures, but I didnt think about it. But it looks soooooo much better now!!



The closet itself is still a little messy, but its 100% better than it was, trust me!



Where I keep all of my accessories and such. Can you tell I like froggies? :)



This plastic drawer thingy was in the closet, but I drug it out and moved all of the stuff from my tiny nightstand onto it. Sooooooo much more organized that all that stuff being all over my tiny table!!
It's great to actually see the floor now!! I even VACCUMED!!! Try not to faint, haha! I wore myself out yesterday cleaning. And that was just on my side of our bedroom! I'd probably make myself go into labor if I tried to clean the rest of the house!!

Belly pic

This is my belly at 35 weeks. Isn't it huge?! I went to a friend's cookout over the weekend and everyone was like "Damn, are you sure it's not TWINS?!" LOL! Yes, i'm sure. Just one little boy in there.... :)
I cut off part of the pic because it had my messy as hell bedside table in there. I should probably clean it...maybe after I post this I will!



I got these really cute butterfly hair clips earlier this week. I just wanted to share because I LOVE them!




I got a bunch of other stuff too, but the butterflies are by far my fave purchase this week. :) With the exception of my new purse Mason got me, haha! ;)

Anyway. I have to do my 24 hour pee test tomorrow, for a 3rd time. I HATE doing that. The results are always negative, so I dont understand why I keep having to do it. My blood pressure meds are doing their job. I don't feel any differant, but my blood pressure has definetly gone down!

Quick appointment!

My doctor's appointment today was nice and fast! My blood pressure was better, but still not low enough. So she upped my dose to two pills twice a day (instead of one pill twice a day). They already make me sleepy, i'm sure taking 4 a day will really knock me out!! The doc asked how my blood sugars were doing. I showed her the little notebook where I write my test results in, and she said the numbers were fantastic (go me!). I have to do that damn 24 hour pee test again though, for a THIRD time. Grr....

Back to triage!

I was sent back to triage yesterday for high blood pressure. It was 180 over 100. The nurse drew my blood to test for preeclampsia, again. She blew out the vein in my hand and it hurt. BAD. Then she poked around in my arm, which also hurt, and she finally was able to get a few vials of blood from me. I was stuck in triage for about 4 hours. I had missed lunch and it was almost dinner time. So I ate a rice crispy treat. Go figure that then the nurse came in and said they were going to let me go home, but they wanted to test my blood sugar first. It was 160. My doctor freaked out and started telling me that I couldn't eat those kinds of things and i'd end up having a c-section because my baby will be huge if I dont straighten my eating habits out. I was STARVING! It was time for me to take my insulin, I missed lunch, it was dinner time. I wanted to tell her to shut up and leave me alone, but I kept quiet and listened to her just so I could get out of there.
I left with a prescription for blood pressure medication. I have 3 weeks till my induction, talk about waiting till the last minute to take care of this problem!
After I got home I checked the mail and I had a not so pleasant surprise for me. A bill from the hospital for my first triage visit. $400!!!! So every time I go, it's $400! I've gone three times so far. If my doc tries to send me again i'm going to tell her I can't afford to go. They send me down there like its no big thing and then I get this huge bill. I dont think so scooter! They keep me hooked up to a contraction monitor and one that monitors the baby's heartbeat and i'm stuck there for about 5 hours. They have that exact same monitor in the Dr's office, but yet they still send me to triage. Grr.....

The only enjoyable part of this Dr's visit was I got another ultrasound. For once my little man wasn't facing my back! We got a side view of his cute little face. He had his hand in his mouth. SO STINKIN CUTE!!! His other hand had a hold of his foot, haha! Silly baby! :)

24 hour pee test

Today i'm doing the 24 hour pee test again. It's such a pain in the butt! Plus keeping a jug of pee in the fridge is weird... They're having me do it again because my blood pressure is always high. Of course it's high.... the Dr stresses me out!! So I get to waltz into the Dr's office tomorrow with my jug filled with pee. How awkward, right? They had to draw blood last time, so they'll probably do that again. Another big pain! It's all for the health of my little man though, so i'll do whatever.

So bored!

Today is my second day home alone since not working any more. We cleaned out the salon of our belongings Friday. It's so weird nothing having a job to go to any more. I spent most of yesterday cleaning up the house and doing laundry. I cleaned up in the baby's room too, did some baby laundry (mostly bed sheets, a few onsies). I've been sitting around watching baby shows on TLC and Discovery Health all day today. One day of cleaning and i'm already burnt out!
After all my cleaning I decided to take a nap before making dinner. I slept for about an hour. I was sleeping on my right side the whole time. When I woke up I rolled over onto my back and looked at my belly. Apparently the baby drifted over to the right also and I had a lop-sided belly, haha!




Its kind of hard to see in the pic, but man was my belly lopsided! LOL!
