I went to the OB today, and I'm happy to report that the baby and I are still healthy and well. :-) My blood pressure registered a little higher than normal for me (but not over the "limit"), but I had been drinking pop and was all wound up so I suspect that caused it. No protein in my urine. The doctor told me to check my blood pressure every day with my home monitor, and if it registers over 140/90 any day, I should start another 24 hour collection. I sincerely hope I will not have to do that again, but I know it is a good precaution.
I just feel so happy and blessed to have made it this far in this condition! I mean, I have pregnancy complaints, believe me. But I'm not on bedrest, and I'm not experiencing any potentially life-threatening conditions for the baby or me. I am 36 weeks + 1 day today; I believe I was 36 weeks + 4 days when I delivered Ethan. That would be like me delivering this Saturday.
In other news, Heath has set up a nanny cam, er I mean web cam on my computer. It is funny because it looks directly into the playroom just like a nanny cam would. So if anyone wants to video chat, or to watch the children play for that matter, here we are.
Yay for being healthy! Tell the baby to stay put because I haven't finished...(or started) his present yet. School's out in 1 week, so I need at least that long.
