Today I am 37 weeks & 4 days… Hard to believe delivery day is so close! And actually, at this point I’m still not sure when delivery will take place.. C-section is scheduled for Monday, March 26, but I am currently waiting on some test results which could move that date up. As most pregnant mom’s feel at this point, I am ready. Harper looked great on the ultrasound last Friday & we were excited to see her breathing. Knowing their little lungs are doing great is comforting! And she was already over 7 lbs last Friday.
Up until this point, the pregnancy has been really great. Since blood pressure was an issue with my first pregnancy, I was worried about it being an issue again. Until last Friday, we sailed through with no complications. I’m not sure if it is just a different pregnancy or if starting this pregnancy 30 lbs lighter helped, but I am thankful whatever the reason! I had hopes of keeping the weight gain under 30 lbs but have managed to keep it under 35. I’ll take it for sure!! I hit a plateau about 3-4 weeks ago & haven’t gained any more. I assure you it is not because I’m not eating. lol. Rocky Road ice cream may or may not be one of Harper’s favorite foods. 
So, last Friday at my appointment, my blood pressure was really high. Dr LeBleu came in & asked me all kinds of questions & said that we may be going straight to the hospital to have a baby that day. Whoa. Not ready for that one! All I could think about was that we had dropped Hudson off at school not anticipating having another baby that day & I just wanted to see him before going into surgery! I wanted to feel prepared! After laying down for about 10 minutes, my BP came down enough that she was okay letting us go home. She told me to rest all weekend & do a not so fun 24 hr test that I won’t go into detail about. lol. She agreed to let me do the test through the hospital in Ruston so I wouldn’t have to go back to Monroe on Sunday to turn everything in. So, on Sunday morning & visited the lab at NLMC & they said the results would be sent on Sunday afternoon. Needless to say when I had not heard from my doctor by noon on Monday, I called to check. The hospital still had not sent the results. I called, then the nurse called & at 5:30 Monday evening they still did not have the results. RIDICULOUS! Here I sit on Tuesday afternoon STILL waiting on the results. I’m really frustrated by now & am hoping they will call any second. The results will basically determine if we can wait a little while longer or if she needs to go ahead & deliver. So, I’ll post again when I know more!!
Yesterday, out of the blue he stopped playing & said “Mommy, I’m ready for sister to be here.” That made my heart smile even though I’m not sure he understands what he’s saying!
