I havea home BP machine. I took it after laying down for an hour, and it was still running 150s over 90s. I am at the hospital now, don't know anything yet.

 

[readynwilling]

Hope everything is ok Brai!

I can imagine i wouldn't rest well either Tanikit.

I got my laundry done, dishes done, walked around the mall for a bit, came home had some lunch - so now im just watching some TV and sitting on my ball. Thats pretty much it for the rest of the day.

 

[braijackava]

So they took my BP at the hospital and it was 110\63. How is that even possible? I am so confused right now.

Brai.

 

[2nd time]

no sign of baby here lol how many false starts can one girl get

 

[braijackava]

Baby is being lazy on NST so they are sending me for a biophysical profile. I am just hoping they decide to induce me after all this. I am an emotional mess lately.

try oil / cream in case its dry skin, or see dr in the morning I know I'm more itchy now but think mines just a reaction to hormones surges

Well my body is playing its usual nightly tricks - getting ever so bored of it now !!!

I know - especially when your trying not to stress OH at the same time.

Brai - look after yourself

 

[readynwilling]

Brai - I hope your appt on wednesday goes well!

 

[rottpaw]

brai. I know that frustration because my doc's tech took mine and kept getting really low readings, when mine and the doctor's were all high. I could not understand why they put any faith in the lower reading when they're also getting high ones. Seems like better safe than sorry. Hopefully they'll set your induction when you go in Wednesday!

2nd time--try some pure coconut oil if you can find it at the store--i put a couple tablespoons in my hot bath and come out quite oily and wonderfully soft all over then i use shey butter on any dry/problem/itchy spot.

brai--hope you get what you are looking for on wednesday out of your appointment. sounds like you have been through a lot with the BP. best of luck

hope everyone's nightly tease of labor comes to something real very soon! still living vicariously through you all as I wait a little longer....ho hum. i don't mind since i'm not yet 37 weeks but you know, just at that oh so close but not quite there state--it's a bit boring but at least i am not having to struggle with many issues.

sunday afternoon here--gearing myself up mentally for another week of work...each week i say 'okay i can do this' and then before i know it, it's friday again going to be lazy the rest of the day tho today while i can

 

[readynwilling]

Membas - the last few weeks at work are hard!! But for me having the mat leave when baby is here rather than sitting at home alone is worth it to me. If she is born this week, i will still be at home on mat leave for her 1st birthday. Had i left earlier, i'd miss it. I know you guys (USA) aren't as lucky as us in Canada in that dept.

 

[codegirl]

That's why I technically am "working" until this baby's due date. did that with E too but he was 2 weeks late so I still ended up going back before his first birthday.

Nice thing about this one is that I know for sure my mat leave won't end until the Baby's first birthday cause I'm on LTDI until the baby is born.

 

[readynwilling]

Yeah im on "holidays" next week then technically my last day is March 4th. So i am hoping she is born around then so that i get the full year of Mat leave with her. If i go 2 weeks over i will have to go back 2 weeks before her b-day. But i gotta think positive LOL.

 

[rottpaw]

LOL Sara and Code, no, we're definitely not as lucky as you guys with your 50 weeks of leave!! I am SO jealous! We get 6 weeks paid at 60% at my company. Amazing difference, huh?

We had a nice day today for our last full day as "married with no kids" It was 75 degrees here (amazing for late February) and we had our last shower (hubby's coworkers). They were awesome and got us many of the things that were on my "last minute items" list; things we'd need for as soon as baby comes home and would have had to run out to buy otherwise. So that was wonderful. Then we went out for a nice dinner to our favorite steak place. Yum! I'm now settling in to make the final list of stuff to do tomorrow, and then we'll head to the hospital tomorrow night. I'm starting to get quite nervous about the induction, but praying it all goes well!

 

[readynwilling]

I hope you have a great day tomorrow Angela! As much as i want a spontaneous, natural birth - i wish i knew WHEN it comming LOL.
