Jesse and I went to the doctor this morning for a new update. We went through all the consent forms for delivery and had a Group B Strep test. When we arrived at the doctor my blood pressure was 140/91 and after I layed down on my left side for literally 2 seconds she took it again….117/72. Since this is the only symptom I am exhibiting along with a trace of protein in my urine, she is going to hold off delivering him until things get worse or we reach 38 weeks.
It gets confusing because every time we go back to the doctor we get a new date for delivery. We go back to her on Monday. If my blood pressure is still the only symptom, then we will wait until the following week, 38 weeks. She is trying to keep us from having to leave him at the hospital after we have him. She knows for a fact that we won’t make it past Sept. 14th or 39 weeks.
Beck is still growing right on track which is very rare when someone like me has toxemia. We are very thankful for this, but at the same time I am getting very uncomfortable. Jesse jokes that he I have grown each day when he gets home from work.
For now we are playing the waiting game. We are hoping that he will come next week or the week of Labor Day because Jesse has 2 trips he has to take for work, one in Sept. and one at the beginning of October. I am starting to get antsy and sick of laying on the couch or in bed. I am enjoying reading, but there is not much else to do during the day. I can usually nap for about an hour during the day and the rest is spent with wonderful daytime television (do you sense my sarcasm??).
Tomorrow I go to the specialist for a sonogram to make sure the fluid surrounding Beck is within the correct levels and check whatever else they check that we don’t understand.
Today we…
Signed delivery consent forms…check
Disability forms signed, more $$$ 
….check
Beck is head down still (and his bony (spelling??) butt is sticking out near my belly button)…check
Mom and dad getting anxious….check
Hope everyone is doing well! We can’t wait to meet our little guy!
