37 Week Appointment!!

Today I had my 37 week check up and my blood pressure was high again. It was 142/86. At my 36 week check up it was also high but they weren't too concerned because before that it had always been normal. Since it was high 2 weeks in a row my doctor sent me to get some blood work done in the lab and I also have to do a 24 hour urine collection to make sure I don't have protein in my urine (they're testing me for Pre Eclampsia). I also have to get another level 2 ultrasound done and until Jaxon arrives I need to go in for monitoring twice a week, every Monday and Thursday, in addition to my weekly OB visit. If my 24 hour urine comes back that there is protein then they will induce me right away, otherwise I'll still be induced at 39 weeks which would be the 24th. I'm nervous about the high blood pressure so hopefully I don't have Pre Eclampsia. She said for now I have Gestational Hypertension. The good news is though that I'm 2 cm dilated and 50% effaced! She said my cervix i super soft so that will make the induction process easier. I'm still kind of hoping I go into labor on my own before my induction date lol. I'm so ready! I'm also excited because next week my regular doctor will be back from some training thing the Army sent him to so that'll be nice that I wont have to be seeing new doctors towards the end of my pregnancy. Oh and I also found out that my Group B Strep test was negative. Now I just need to start my 24 hour urine collection tomorrow and we'll hopefully have the results early next week.

Bored

With school finished until next month I'm so bored! I have pretty much everything ready for Jaxon. I only have a couple more loads of his laundry to do and then everything will be all set. I feel like these next few weeks are going to go by sooooo slow. Ughhhhh hurry up Friday so I can find out my induction date!

Happy 4th of July!!

Happy 4th of July everyone! Tonight we're having Chris' friend Roy and his wife and daughter over for a BBQ and then we're going to head to the fireworks on post. I'm glad it's not raining this year but I wish it wasn't so hot out lol. I didn't go to the fireworks on postl ast year since we were at a family reunion in Oklahoma but when I went 2 years ago the fireworks were REALLY good, so hopefully they're just as god this year!

I had my 36 week appointment on the 2nd and Jaxon turned and he is now head down! WOO HOO! I didn't think he was ever going to turn! I now go to my doctor every week and I find out at my appointment on the 10th what day I'll be induced. My doctor wants me induced at 39 weeks which would be July 24th but he's outta town until the 19th so hopefully the doctor I'm seeing while he's gone will follow what he says! I'm so excited for him to get here! We have just around 20 days!! YAY!

Well I better go finish cleaning up the kitchen before the BBQ. I'm going to make a yummy fruit pizza! Hope everyone has a safe 4th!
