Crazy Doctor Appointment

Tuesday, June 1st at 10:15 I had my last prenatal appointment. I didn't actually think it was my last one, it just happened! I got to the doctors office and has to pee real bad, I had to wait in line because there were other pregnant ladies needing to pee too. My doctor was sitting right there at her desk eating cherries and said we needed to get that baby out byt the looks of it. I agreed! Because I feel like I am carrying twins! Ugh! Our ultrasound was scheduled for this coming Thursday at 1:30pm, but she had her nurse call downstairs and get it changed to 11am that day! Right after my doctors appointment! She has a seminar to go to and she said she didn't want to be bording the plane and then the office call her and say I'm having a 11 pounder! So anyways, as I was waiting the nurse had me get my weight and then let me pee and took me back to room 503. She took my blood pressure and it was 168/94. Which was very high! And then measured LO in my belly and said I was 41! She said if she had a needle she could just pop me lol. She checked for LO's heart beat and it ended up being 189 or something like that. Too high. I tried to stay calm but I was pretty nervous! She said I only gained one pound. Which gaining one pound a week is normal, and always makes me feel better. So the doctor finally came in and asked me if I was seeing blind spots or having head aches, I figured this was normal and said yes. I mean I have been for weeks now. Anyways she started to look kinda nervous and said she was going to send me upstairs for lab work and then downstairs for the ultrasound. She checked me cervix, it was 2cm, 50% effaced. And she stripped my membranes.. OUCH! She said if lab work came back on the iffy or negative side she was goign to induce me that night or in the morning, as long as the baby is looking big on the ultrasound too. So I went upstairs, had blood taken, then went outside to wait for Derek to get to the doctors office so he could be there for the ultrasound. Little Emily ended up being BIG Emily, they estimated her to be 8lbs, 9oz. It could be off by a pound either way. So she could be 9 pounds or more! Let's hope, it is more like 7 pounds! lol. Anyway, within about 20 minutes of leaving the ultrasound, Derek and I were sitting down at Subway eating some lunch and the nurse called and told us to be at Labor and Delivery in the morning at 7am!! Holly crap! She was actually going to be here! AHHH!!!

So we finished up lunch, Derek went back to work, and I got some things at Wal-mart we would need for the hospital, mailed off thank you cards for our baby shower, and then headed home to get ready for our induction. I ended up cleaning the kitchen, laundry room, bathroom, bedroom, living room. Pretty much everything! I also packed all of our bags and had everything sitting at the door waiting to be put in the car! I had some time to relax and put my feet up for about 30 minutes. It's had when your nesting, cuz there is always something to be done!

So after a crazy day, Derek's mom and brother came to pick me up and take me to Texas Roadhouse for "Amy and Matt's Big Dinner!" They were going to tell everyone if they were having a boy or girl! Derek just met us there since he works less than a mile away from the restaurant and there was no need for him to drive all the way home, get me and drive all the way back. Or for me to take an extra car and have two cars on the south side. So anyways, we got there and chatted with friends and family ab out our induction tomorrow, sat down to eat, and Amy and Matt revealed the gender!!! They are having a BOY!!! I am so excited for them! I know that is what they wanted, and I am so happy that Derek's parents will now be grandparents of both a little girl and little boy! Emily's little cousin is due around October 18th. Yay! Gotta love babies!!!

Well that is really all I have to write right now. It's 3:30am and I can't sleep... because our induction is in 3 and a half hours! Ahh!! I guess I can try to get some more sleep though. Might as well! Gotta get up in two hours, so hopefully I can take a 2 hour cat nap. We are bringing Derek's brothers' laptop to the hospital so I am sure I will be bumpin and posting all day long! Wish me luck everyone!!!

Ttyl!
