Hubby kinda got on me before going in, so
I was half crying when I went in. At least
it turned out good though.
So I'm emotional, they call me back and
have me pee like always. For some reason
that was difficult, couldn't tell if I was
hitting the cup or not, lol. So I pick up
the cup to put my name on it, part nerves
part clumsiness causes me to spill it! All
over the floor, all over my shirt, pants
and hair tie on my wrist. So I spend 10
minutes cleaning it up and crying.
Anyway, went to get weighed, no one was
there. So I weighed myself and it was
around 237. But when my doc checked it, it
was 247. I like the digital scales
better... But that was an 8lb jump, which
of course made her SO happy...
Checked my BP... 173/110
So she ran right
away to check my pee, came back good for
protein, and she kept saying how shocked
she was about that. So she sent me to the
hospital for a NST.
Get there, pants and shirt are dried up
almost instantly (I think it's less humid
in the big open hospital). SO they have me
walk back to the 'Baby Wing' as she called
it. Why is it always the furthest walk
from the front door? Oh well. I was told
they were going to do a culture, so I was
expecting the whole thing. Needless to say
I was happy when they just swabbed around
down there, lol.
Got the moniters hooked up. I love hearing
baby's heartbeat! I LOVE the rooms too,
very 'homey'. They gave me the remote, but
I kept it muted because I was enjoying the
heartbeat. The took my BP 3 times, and the
last time was 133/72. Baby's heartbeat
went from 130ish to 160ish. Not sure if I
had any contractions though.
It was kinda a reality check that I'm
gonna be giving birth soon! They had two
posters, one had the dilation progression
illustrated on it, and one had the stages
of labor on it, lol. Also they had a HUGE
digital clock above the bed. Only 4 more
weeks!!!
Sorry so long, just wanted to tell
someone!
Or have I? 
I'm
glad things turned out ok. A high blood
pressure is a scary thing in pregnancy.
Truth is, stress can raise is. I can't
belive you're getting so close! He/she's
gonna be here before ya know it!
