Yesterday I went in for my 38 week appointment and had to go over to L&D due to high blood pressure. They ran labs and monitored me for a couple of hours. If it didn't drop they were going to induce, if it did drop then I would go home. Obviously I am typing this, so I am home.
I can't lie. I really wanted to just have him yesterday. The emotional roller coaster is going full steam right now and it is getting hard to go from day to day. My contractions have started hurting, my patience is gone, and I am exhausted.
I know that my blood pressure had to have gone up because of work. I started feeling crummy at about 1:30 yesterday. I ended up with a headache, was SO hot, and just done. With everything happening yesterday I feel like I need to make a decision about work. I planned for Friday to be my last day, but with this happening, I don't want to push it and make something bad happen. Mr. S. does not want me going back to work. I want to make it easy for me and just stay until Friday, but I don't know if this is realistic at this point. I think there will be some snow days at least on Thursday, so that might help...I just don't know what to do at this point. Everything in my head tells me that it is time. I need to go in and talk to my principal about it. Ugh...decision making is not good for an indecisive person!
Like right now, my contractions are 7 minutes apart. But they will eventually taper off. *sigh* I'll figure out something.

Oh honey. I thought that having contractions that close together meant you needed to be in the hospital. Am I wrong? If you are in that much pain, I wouldn't worry about this week at work. Your principle should understand.
oh, I want you to have the baby too. I can only imagine how you must feel right now. I'll be thinking of you!
Best of luck! Take it easy and stay home. Remember your body is more important, silly work. I can't wait to see the pictures of baby Parker.
:(
I am sorry you are feeling so yucky-
It will pass, and you will soon have that baby in your arms!!!
Can't wait to hear-
