15-4-2011 - 39 weeks

My mood while writing this blog: ready

My little girl is just a baby herself, she is going to be such a wonderful big sissy. I just adore her.

I went to my routine 38 week appt and my BP was high, I was sent to the hospital for monitoring and bloodwork, my OB was worried about preclampsia. But I am ok, been to the OB two more times this week and my BP is high normal and no change. I am 1-2 cm and 25% effaced. I wonder when it will happen. Earlier this week I had contractions every 7 mins for an hour + and then they just stopped. What the heck is that about?

I am at the point where I want to do nothing and go nowhere. I just want to lay around and eat. I was all about my walks, in wind, rain, cold - but now I am fine with vegging.

I have the occassional BH but nothing else. The anticipation is killing me.

I am also going back and forth with wanting to try natural vs. epidural and I am on the fence. I am worried I will wait too long and then it will be too late for an epi. My first birth was pretty traumatic - my epi hurt, and failed and I was not ready for no pain relief. I was panic stricken and miserable during labor, and still am, when I think about it enough. Any thoughts?

Well, I will keep everyone posted. He will be here soon enough. My OB is already talking induction if he is not here next week, I refuse to schedule one.

Come out my baby boy! Mommy and sissy want to meet you.

OK, I think I am going to attempt to put the swing together.
