Down to a Week

It is unfathomable to be that next week this time we will be holding our little guy!!! Still no name, so I think we will just have to wait and see him before we decide. I have been on bed rest (something I am not always the best at) and it has been a bit hard to try and stay down. I think my doctor very nearly came close to having me deliver yesterday, something I did not want to happen since it was Lilly's Birthday. So understandably I was pretty adamant about not having another baby that day. My blood pressures were pretty high, and the doctor was worried since I started spilling protein again.  The only reason I even got to go home was agreeing to strict bed rest and pretty much a fluke blood pressure (the ones before were 130-140 over the 100's) when we got one reading of 100/47. I did not say anything and the midwife working triage knew my feelings and knew that  I would be compliant. Tomorrow, the lab that makes the most difference will be finished and will dictate what happens (or doesn't.) I would like to wait till next Tuesday, because these are my last days of feeling our little baby wiggle inside, get hiccups, and just enjoying the little moments I get to have with him. Hopefully the lab will come back fine, and there will be no changes in the plan.

I am scheduled to have another amniocentesis on Monday, but my OB and his partner (who is covering while my OB is out of town) both agree the amnio should not even be done and they should just go straight to the c-section that is scheduled. They feel like with the preelampsia and than my "morning sickness" ( I have lost 4 pounds int he last week) that it is time to just deliver. I am okay with that. I have had enough of big needles and have had my fill of them. Not for me to decide, but if they want to know my opinion, I will happily share it. That is about it. Collin turns 20 months this week, and we will be celebrating Lilly's birthday tomorrow (since Monday was not the best day.) Cannot wait to share pictures of our little miracle!
