38 week down 7 days to go!!!!!

Okay we went back to the doctor today. I am measuring at 43 weeks. My blood pressure was 130/82. We got to do another ultrasound and Preston weights about 8 lbs. Doctor does not want to induce me until next week due to boys not being as healthy as little girls and they might have some difficulties with breathing. Dr. Fiore is going to induce me on July 7th at 4 am. Thats really early but its either that or go in the night before. I am not going to be able to sleep so i might as well be at home and comfortable for a few hours instead of being at the hospital. My swelling is still really bad but the Dr promised it would go away whe he is born. Sorry no pictures but i will put some up soon of the back porch!

Nursery

Okay so i finally put up pictures and set up the nursery. I know that family has been wanting to see the final project so here it is. On the wall with the rocking chair we are going to put a large mirror that says God Bless Little Boys Preston Michael. I dont have a mirror right now that has a white frame and so that will be my project tomorrow. Today I got all the things hung up and rearranged the closet. We also got approved by the doctor that we wanted so Preston will be seeing Dr. Stewart!!!!!!

37 weeks and counting

I had an appointment today. I am measuring at 39 1/2 weeks. I have alot of water retention. My blood pressure is 120/82. This is much better but i am starting to show signs of protien in my urine. But now the good stuff. I am still 1 cm and 70% efaced. You know those checks are not very much fun. Apparently Preston's head has started his decent. They did not tell me a number but I do know that they had to push his head out of their way to check me. I have my next appointment on June 30th and at that time we will schedule my induction date if he does not come by then. Will keep everyone posted. I am still really swollen like Fred Flintstone.

To The River We Go

Bryan and I took the dogs down to the river today since this might be the last time we make it down to the river before the baby comes. Odis loved the river. Purdy just liked getting her feet wet but did not like swimming. I stood on the bank of the river and just watched the dogs and Bryan play. Here are some photos.

Baby Update

Bryan and I went to the doctor yesterday and had fun Strep culture done and the iron test. Dr. checked me and I was 1 cm and was thinning out. We talked to the doctor about some issues that I have been having. They took my blood pressure and it was 140/90 and they rechecked it and it was 126/84. I talked to the doctor about my swelling since on Saturday Bryan and I went and took a picture down by the duck pond to show to my mom and by the end of our stroll i looked like Shrek. My fingers were so swollen i could barely make a fist. Dr. said that it was to early in pregnancy to induce me but that i really needed to watch my sodium intake. I also talked with the doctor about my restless leg syndrome. He told me that there was nothing he could do for me to help with that it is just one of the fun side effects of pregnancy. Hopefully he will stay in until Friday because then we will be full term!!!!!! YEAH!!!! I will post some pictures later of the nursery since i have rearranged again as well as gifts that i have gotten from friends and family.
