A 7 hour tour!

Wednesday Hannah and I went to the Dr's appt. Dr was running 1:45 min late... it was like 80 in the waiting room and it was filled to the max with pregnant people and friends etc. When it is finally my turn, they nurse yet again gets a high blood pressure. 130/110 (which from what i heard later should of been re-taken cause the numbers are too close together to be accurate) I am sick of worring about it! So we waited about 40 min in the exam room.. my poor daughter I thought she was going to tell the Dr. to come in cause she was hungry and wanted to leave, after all she is 3... lol . So Dr. come in.. I mention that the last U/S said that the baby was 5lbs.7oz.. he said yes he is a big boy.. he has a few more oz now... Big is he crazy? how is something under 6lbs big? So we get on with the strep b test and an inturnal.. not sure what the finding of that was, I forgot to ask. But we are waiting till next week to schedule the C-section.

So I asked about the Blood Pressure, and if that is why I was feeling werid and shaky.. he said your blood pressure is fine, looked at it and then was like, um you need to go to the hospital for a Tox pannel blood test. Go now.. do you have someone that can meet you there to watch your daughter? I was like "say what?" Then i was like I need to feed my daughter and my self if you taken blood. Which was okay... so shaking even more we went for a fast trip to B.K. for hannah she requested Mac and cheese and a burger for me. Trying not to freak out, I called Jose to see if his mom would meet me at the hospital to get hannah .. but he freaked and met me there too. ( what a sweetie)

In Triage, all hooked up to moniters, B/P 135/70 the nurse was like jeeze i hope this was not just a bad reading that they did.. (seriously) Yeah so the Dr also wanted a urine sample, straight from the source meaning Catheter... OUch! Seriously! So the Blood pressure readings the 3 that they took all normal... the last one being 128/58. Kinda cooll cause jose and i got to listen to the baby's heart beat for 3 hours ( sleepy time) two of the nurses that came in were ones that I had when I delivered hannah. My Labor Nurse remembered me. I did find out that I was having some Contractions... Which I knew cause I have been getting Braxton hicks... I was surprised to find out how many I was really having...

The final out come was ... UTI, and Dehydration.

Glad that all the catheter pain was for something... but the 7 hours with all the wait time at the Dr office and hospital I could of done with out. But I guess that my symptoms for the infection was hot hands and having a werid feeling in my arms.. no other symptoms... but the nurse said it explained it. Okay...

So more to come next week.

Oh I forgot...


The Pancake craving.... never in my life have I wanted Pancakes so darn bad..Plain, nothing on them, but If I had the chance I would eat them for every meal. So Pancakes, Corn and Coke. This kid is going to be strange.

Let me out!

Wow this little guy.. who the U/S tech says weighs about 5lb 7oz already.. is moving up a storm. He can not get comfy... first it is butt to the right... then center... then right ...then a spinning move to the left, then back again to the right. At night while I am asleep he shoves his foot in my rib. He moves so much it is crazy to watch! Hannah did not move this much.. I think once or twice did she ever make my whole tummy move.

The cats have taken to babysitting me during the day. Especially if I have been at work, as soon as I am home if I sit on the bed they guard me... do they know something?

So after weeks of me asking when I am supposed to get my medical U/S, you know the one that they give at 26 weeks... the midwife that works at the Dr office, finally said.. hey you did not get this and had me wait for there in house U/S Tech.. I got some good images of the little guy who was laying transverse at the time, but has since moved down... but will he stay?

Next weeks appointment we are setting the C-section date. Not that I mind the C-section... but I kinda feel like I lost out on the whole going in to labor, driving to the hospital thing. With Hannah I was induced, which I swear was why I had to have the C-section to begin with, and with this one he is just scheduled in. Weird...wonder if he will decide to come early?

Food cravings as of this pregnancy... Steak, Corn, Cheese, Frozen Coke, Crab and Watermelon. Corn and Coke take the lead.
Weird Nesting things... Crafts and baking.. I actually made Banana Bread from scratch and Brownies from a box... that was in one day. Also this pregnancy I have made Apple pie from scratch, and oatmeal cookies. I think tomorrow I am going to make Watermelon Ice. I have been on a mean mission for crafty stuff. making necklaces, crocheting, sewing among other things... but it comes and goes. It is the compulsion that is weird... almost like it has got to get done.
I also just started to feel the whole cleaning nesting thing... that was kicking in last night when I decided that the bathroom need to be clean. to day it was the kitchen table, OI!
