1. 37 weeks (yay for not being pre-term anymore!) with a wiggly little boy.
2. Well, it's been busy for a few days. Had a 7 day migraine last week, which makes doctors worry about pre-eclampsia, so I was at L&D for four hours on Saturday, mostly waiting for labs and a neurologist. The neurologist gave me steroids which helped the headache pretty quickly, and the labs were all fine. Then I had to drop off my 24 hour urine sample, which came back funky, so my OB called me back to L&D on Monday night. The nurse I talked to mumbled about a possible induction and told us to bring the labor bag. False alarm. A few hours of fetal monitoring, blood pressure taking and more lab work and then we went home. Everything was hunky dory. I think the doctors think that we are looking at super early stages of pre-E, and that we'll be having this baby before 40 weeks, but until then, lots of monitoring so we can catch it before it gets to be alarming. And I have a doctors appointment this afternoon.
3. I have mixed feelings about what's going on. By the time we were discharged, I was almost a little bummed to not be having a baby last night. I want to meet him. I want to snuggle him up in my arms where I can look at him and see that nothing strange has happened. I'm also not good with unplanned things, and having the possibility of labor at any time is pretty stressful. Today? Tomorrow? Will I go back to work on August 10th with the rest of the teachers? Should I still be making appointments for things like haircuts, or just waiting around for the baby? I'm going with the theory that I'll be crazy if I don't do stuff, so we'll just cancel things if needed.

Okay, I'm hungry now. Bye!
