37 week Appointment

I do not have a photo to put up right now since when it came time to find the camera today it was stashed away so that the carpet could be done. So I found it after Joe went to work. :( So I guess that will just have to wait till tomorrow or tonight depending on how late Joe works and how late I feel ok staying up till.
So any who! My appointment didn't go as well as I would have liked it. I gained about 6 pounds in a week some how and am now tipping the scale at 239! Yeah I feel a little weird posting my weight here by my journal is MIA once again with all the moving around stuff! Anyways! So with that and my blood pressure being a little high I'm now being tested for preeclampsia. I got my blood drawn as my appointment and have to do a 24 hour urine collection (which I'm not looking forward to at all) which I will probably do tomorrow just to get it over with. My doctor told me to make sure if I get blurred vision or really bad headaches that don't go away with over the counter drugs to give her a call. So now I'm a little worried, but to be honest if I got induced next week it wouldn't be the end of the world since I'll be 38 weeks. So I guess the only thing I'm afraid of is being induced in general! But on the bright side I'm already 1 cm dilated, but still long. So we'll see what happens.

  2. Ah! No! I don't want to hear these things! I hope everything works out and you don't have preclampsia. Luckily like you said though, you are full term now, but still, the longer the better for you and the baby generally. Maybe David put on 6lbs this week, so you can blame it all on him. hahaha. :)
