Latest News

Well I had my latest doctor appointment yesterday afternoon. Doc says I'm still not dilated at all :( However, Sawyer may come sooner that we thought. Turns out I have many signs of pregnancy induced hypertension. There is the high blood pressure, spots in vision, pain under my right ribs, huge swollen feet/ankles/legs, and a 5 pound weight gain in one week. They drew blood yesterday and tomorrow I have to go to the hospital to have blood pressure checked again and to do a non-stress test. I guess they just hook a belt around you to monitor the baby's heart rate. My doctor didn't want me to wait a whole week until my next appointment so I will be back there on Monday. Depending on what all the tests say, my doctor says we may have to get baby out next week. We know he is coming but it almost shocked us when we heard it could be that soon. So for now, I am to rest as much as possible, keeping my feet up, and drink plenty of water. Should be a fun weekend.
