Week 37

I only have a few minutes before Nathan will find me not laying down and kick me off the computer.... but I just wanted to do a brief update. Sunday we went to the hospital because I felt I was more swollen than I usually am and after some observations and blood draws they sent me home to collect my urine for 24 hours. I also was told to make a doctors appointment for Monday to see how the fluid was around the baby and if my blood pressure was still high. Well. First I was diagnosed with mild pre-eclampsia, and second the ultrasound showed something that I wasn't expecting, although it didn't surprise me. The baby is breech. Her head is up by my left ribs and her feet are by my right ribs. Even though I had been told twice that they thought the head was down. Because she is breech they made an appointment with the perinatologist today. After some more ultrasounds he said that there was a possibility that he could turn her, but it was a less than 50% chance that it would work. And if they tried and it didn't work, then the likelihood of an emergency C-section was pretty high. So, we decided to just schedule a c-section. Because of my pre-eclampsia they decided that they would schedule it for tomorrow! So tomorrow we are going to the hospital at 5:15 with a c-section at 7:15. Our little baby will be here tomorrow!!!! They kept telling us that the baby is doing very well and we can hardly wait to meet her. We'll post pictures as soon as we have some!
