still pregnant. doctor’s appointment yesterday.
the good news:
-i’m dilated almost to a 2
-i’m 70% effaced
-baby boy has dropped to a -1! the midwife said that he was definitely ready and in position to come out. there’s a big gap now between where he’s at and the top of my uterus.
-the midwife also said i’m pretty far along and doing good for a first timer
the bad news:
-a huge increase in blood pressure. 2 weeks ago my top number was 117, last week it was 123, this week it was 143. yikes.
-the midwife reiterated that most first time moms go over their due dates. and if i do so i’m going to have to have more tests and another ultrasound. which means more money.
i’m hanging in there. i was hoping to not have to come into work today because i’d be otherwise occupied, but here i am. it’s not the work or the lack of baby that makes me not want to come in, it’s the effort of having to find something to wear. i’m so sick of my clothing and the maternity stuff isn’t even fitting that well anymore.
and no pictures because i can’t find our camera cord anywhere. hopefully i’ll find it this weekend so that if he comes this weekend (FINGERS CROSSED) i’ll actually be able to send out pictures of baby bytheway.
