Pregnancy Update

So today I am officially 39 weeks pregnant. One week till my due date! Crazy I know. I can NOT wait to meet her. I am so excited to become a Mommy of 2 little rugrats. I am so excited to give Marcus a sister. I am so excited to be having a little GIRL! Now if she would only get here.

So here's the update on her arrival. After a long weekend of trying everything to get her out nothing worked. Finally Sunday night I started having good contractions. Painful contractions. So painful I was shaking. I thought this had to be the beginning of Labor. I then started getting sharp pains in my belly and knew I should probably go in just incase. So at 900 on Sunday night we went to L&D. I was sent to Triage and got hooked up and right away my contractions started showing up on the monitor and they were good and pretty mountains. I thought yes this is it! While I was looking at that they took my blood pressure and it was pretty High, High for me, and they re took it and it was still High so then they started treating me as if I came in for high blood pressure instead of my contractions. They made me get up and unhook the monitors and give a urine sample and blood test and all sorts of fun stuff. Well by the time I got hooked back up I knew that my contractions were gone. I was so upset. They just died off. They went from 100 to 0 just like that. So when my labs finally came back they told me I didnt have pre eclampise and that they would monitor the blood pressure but that I was going to be going home. They did tell me that my Iron count was SUPER low and I needed Iron supplements because I was anemic. Which explains why I am SO tired. Before I left they checked me and turns out something has been progressing with little miss because I am now 3cm dilated and 60% effaced. I was really bumped to be leaving there with my baby still in my stomach but I was a little happy that something is happening and that soon she will be here.

So there is my baby update for now. I have a Docs appt tomorrow and hopefully I will have progressed more and my blood pressure will be back down to normal. I will keep those of you that read this updated. I mainly update this for my records and so my husband can read it. =)
