i was admitted to the hospital sunday morning for more tests and just got home. the baby is good, my blood tests are good, and even though there is protein in my urine and my blood pressure is up, the doc wants the baby “to cook a little longer” (ob humor??). the plan is to induce on thursday or monday unless the baby decides to make an appearance on its own. i am now on bed rest...

only 4 weeks left until my due date!
i only have 1 more week until i’m officially full term (37 weeks) and i’m so ready to meet this baby! i’d be thrilled if i delivered 3 weeks early, yet my doctor said that the average first birth happens at 40 -41 weeks. ugh. 4-5 weeks seems soooo far away right now. time is dragging; especially since i can’t do much. on work days i am so exhausted. i have no idea how...
