So I had my OB appointment today and baby grew again. I am now measuring 41 weeks. My blood pressure has gone back down, yet I still convinced her to test for preeclampsya. My OB is on holidays until the end of the month and this new dr isn't very pro-active.
I had to go in for more blood tests because of the neg. blood type and go back on Thurs for another shot.
Baby's HB is still great.....
So I am still waiting, and drinking my tea.

We have almost made it!
Well here we are....in the home stretch, and as usual I have a few weeks to update on.
We started our prenatal classes. And as I hoped we have made at least two. Our L&D class was very informative, and DH is glad we didn't miss it. we have them every Tues for 10 weeks in total. It is really helping.
My last OB appointment showed a few things that she is now "keeping an eye on".My BP went up a bit, and I have crazy swelling that just showed up. My weight (which has been great the enitre time) has started going up too, so now I am being monitored for preeclampsya. I see her again tomorrow and she will tell me what the plan is.
Baby is still big (she thinks around 7-7.5 lbs now at 37 weeks) but hasn't "growen" since last appointment, which can somtimes mean he's outta room. So they are wanting to send me for another ultrasound. Maybe we can get an induction date....
Other then that, I have been trying a few things at home to see if labour will start on its own. I ate a pineapple (which didn't start labour, but made my tounge raw and gave me killer heartburn for about 2 days), I had my extreamly swollen ankles massaged (and although it felt great, just made them bigger) and am now drinking raspberry leaf tea. Dont let the name fool you! It tastes like grass!! But with a little sugar and milk, it is drinkable. Why I thought it tasted like raspberries is beyond me........
I am showing signs of labour that they warn you about.....af type ramps, back pain, changes in BM (sorry tmi).....so maybe I can meet him soon.....
So aside from that, it is mostly last minute things to finish. I had my baby shower last night, and he is one spoiled little guy! It was alot of fun!! It makes me so happy to know how much he is already loved.
