Very Soon Now!

I had my weekly check-up today and all is progressing very nicely.

After talking to my doctor today - I found out that she was very worried about me b/c:
1. protein in my urine
2. blood pressure was high

So, she decided to put me on a fetal heart monitor for an hour and check his movements with his heart rate. She also took blood from me to check that and see how my liver and kidney's were functioning. She put me on bed rest and that's what I did.

THIS WEEK she could tell that I had followed her instructions.
1. my blood pressure was lower
2. no protein in my urine

But, when she did the internal exam she could feel his head and tell that he had started to engage in my pelvis. She put me on bed rest because my cervix is starting to soften like it's supposed to, but it's not quite ready for delivery yet. She said that if I went into labor now that my cervix is not quite ready and more than likely she would have to do a c-section. She said that she can see the mucus plug and that I will be losing that very soon. I'm glad that she told me that, so that at least I know to be expecting that soon. However, she said that she gives him about 1 1/2 - 2 weeks.

So, today was my last day at work until after my maternity leave. I am getting SOOO excited about meeting our little guy and can hardly wait now. I'll be curious to see how Baby C and I are doing next week. I have been really drained the last few days and exhausted, but right now I am on Cloud 9!!!! LOL

Love y'all and thank you for the prayers as we continue on for the last few weeks!!!!!!!!!!

p.s. Sarah, I am going to go and pack my bags right now!!!! ;)
