I went to the Dr today for my 37 week appt even though I'm 37 weeks and 2 days preggers. And Dr. Banfield said, so, you ready to be induced? and of course I said yes!!!!! So I am going to the hospital Wednesday February 11th and checking in at 4:30pm! they are going to keep me overnight ehile they do a procedure I won't get into detail on but lets just say things need to open up....and then thursday morning the 12 the dr will give me pitocin to induce labor....yeah! I can't wait!

Bedrest is still sucking...

So, I've been on bedrest since January 13, for those of you that are counting that means today was day 22. Can you say going stir crazy?

So if you haven't heard I was scheduled to have a version, which means the dr was going to turn the baby in my stomach on Tuesday, February 3rd, but didn't need it done! Which made me so happy. Super bowl sunday Aaron and I went to breakfast and went to buy Tallyn's birthday present at the toy store so i was up and about a wee bit. We sat at home and watched the game i ate some spicy chicken wings, etc. Later that night I felt so nauseous and had tummy pains, dizziness, really felt awful and I think Aaron was actually getting a little worried, then finally it just stopped and I felt better. So I went to sleep.
I woke up with the worst headache and laid down all day til about 2pm when I called the dr and they told me to go immediatley into triage. Well Aaron had been to centralia to pick up Tallyn from our family in Oregon and had stopped at his office in Seattle. So I had to wait for them to get home. WE probably got to the hospital around 430 and they wouldn't let Tallyn into triage so Aaron had to wait out in the waiting room with her, i laid in bed being monitored for about 2 hours when they finally told me that the on call dr was going to admit me overnight!!!
Tallyn had been gone for 4 days and now I had to stay in the hospital! So i asked if they could come into my room so i could tell my husband and my daughter, they let her back, thank goodness! So her little face looked all freaked when they said I had to stay. The Dr came in asked me a bunch of questions and said they wanted to keep my blood pressure under monitor because of the procedure tomorrow to make sure it was safe to do the version, plus since I had to be back here at noon anyway, i might as well stay, easy for them to say. After a series of questions the Dr decided to do a quick ultrasound to check on babies position. Guess What? Jaxon was head down!!!! YEAH! I got to go home! They said I was gonna get a shot of demoral for the head pain. I told them I hadn't eaten since 10am and they said they would order me some food and let me eat before i went home and because I had to wait after the shot to make sure I didn't have a reaction. So we finally got home aorund 9pm....ugh, but at least we were home! :)
So, here I sit day 2 still waiting to talk to my Dr...appointment with him is tomorrow morning, I'll report back.

Bedrest sucks

Ok, so It's been over a week now, that I've been on bedrest. Can I just say it sucks! Once I went to the grocery store and yesterday I went to the craft store and then value village....boy did I regret each thing. My Blood Pressure sky rockets and I feel terrible after walking. I want my body back! the only other times I've gotten out of the house were to go the hospital for my Non Stress tests/blood pressure checks and Dr appts, oh and ultrasounds.

Last fridays U/S said the baby was breech, his head was completely up and in the placenta. Today's U/S told me that he is now sort of sideways his head is on the left, and body to the right lying on his back. It explains why my tummy is so big the past couple days. So, dude is still breech. Unfortunately that means on Tuesday's Dr appt the Dr will discuss with me scheduling a version in which they will put me in the hospital hook me up to an IV and dr said "grease up my belly" and push and prod my tummy to turn him. This does not thrill me in the least, even worries me a bit from what I've read, it sounds painful and there are potential complications, as with anything. But I guess it beats the alternative of just automatically doing a c section. If there are complications they will just do a c section otherwise if he turns I will still deliver vaginally.

The Dr told me yesterday that there is no way I will go to 40 weeks with my BP so high so essentially his due date has moved up at least a week which would be at least the 17th. This would mean induction.

I have two NST's a week, monday and thursdays. Yeah me! I could just move in to the hospital I'm so familiar with it already. Last night I took Tallyn on a tour of the Labor and Delivery unit. She seemed a bit scared, but after wards seemed a bit more relaxed about the baby thing and mommy being in the hospital there, and now she will know where to go and all the waiting rooms, etc.


Wish I had more help around the house though. I'm not supposed to be cleaning, etc, and Aaron works so much that the dishes are piled up again, laundry needs to get done an i have lots of organizing i want done! AARGH! Not looking forward to the weekend of Aaron being in Kennewick and busy busy busy with like 7 different events he's in charge of.

I am looking forward to my baby shower on Sunday though!!! Yeah!!!!
