Yesterday was crazy. It's too long of a story to explain...so I'll make it shorter! After spending the whole day in the hospital ( I must add without eating or drinking) we found out that I have mild preeclampsia. It dangerous to Rickar and I, but it's still mild. The longer I carry Rickar, the higher chance of me having an emergency csection or something serious happening. My blood pressure was up to 171/117. I was feeling terrible. We did all kinds of tests....all were good with Rickar and me, except we need to get him out as soon as we can. He has plenty of fluid still. His heartrate is good, he's not stressing. My body is swelling really bad, I have bad headaches from high bp, and protein in my urine. My doctor put me on bed rest. So I have two more days, and on Friday, I'm going in to be induced. I'll be 38 weeks. I can't believe how bed rest is so hard! I don't think it would be if it wasn't the last couple days before I have him. There are so many things I wanted to do. For one, clean my house! How am I supposed to be nesting when I'm on bed rest?? lol. I wanted to get my carpets shampooed as well. I'm not sure that's gonna happen now.
On another note: In 2 more days, maybe 3 I'll have my answered prayer that I've prayed for, for soooo long. (3 years) I can't wait to see his little face. I still can't believe it's here, it's happening to us. I never imagined it would actually happen. My nerves have been so bad, I havent been able to eat since I left the hospital. I must have gotten really hungry though, cause I had a yummy supper. (thanks to a friends mom) They aren't bad nerves, I'm just really scared of labor and delivery. It's a whole bunch of emotions all wrapped up inside. I think I have postpartum depression, (lol, even before I have delivered) Just kidding. I'm trying to just rely on God and quit worrying. I know it can't be good for either of us, and RB! lol. What scares me even more is that Rickar is measuring really big. I know it's just an estimation, but they measure 3 things on him, and all 3 are big! She said his tummy is really chubby, his head is big and his legs are long. He measured 8.15 yesterday. So we might have over a 9lb baby! I just pray he's an okay size for me. You can pray to if you like. My guess is he will weigh over 8 1/2 lbs for sure. I'm half centimeter to 1 dilated, 40% effaced, and his head is -3 station.
That's all for now. Darla
