Baby update

No baby yet. =( I am beyond miserable. I don't mean to sound so negative, but I'm just being honest. I just KNEW that Brennan would have made his arrival by now, but NOOOOOOOO, he's holding out on us. Last Wednesday I went to dinner with my friend Hanna, and I started having contractions every 2 1/2 minutes for at least 2 hours. The contractions weren't terribly uncomfortable, but since they were coming so close together I figured that I better go to the hospital and at least have everything checked out. They monitored the baby and then sent me home. I had a feeling that he would still come either Wednesday night or Thursday morning, but as you can tell from reading this blog, I was VERY WRONG! LOL! My blood pressure was extremely high while at the hospital. It went down after they had me lay on my left side, so they let me go on home and told me to take it easy. Today I went to visit my mom who's a nurse. While I was there I was showing her and the doctor that she works for how swollen my right foot/ankle was compared to my left. They then checked my blood pressure and it was high again. They made me call the doctor right away. Catawba Women's Center wanted me to come in asap so that they could examine me. My bp had gone back down to normal once I arrived, but there was protein in my urine, so they had some labs run and I have to do another 24 hour urine sample. I go back to the doctor on Thursday. I'm REALLY HOPING that we can schedule to induce if he hasn't come by then. The past 2 weeks has been crazy to say the least. I just hope that all of this comes to an end very soon and I can hold and love that little baby boy! I'll let you all know as soon as he's arrived.
