38 weeks... but I want to be done.

I am scheduled for my induction for the 25th which is a Monday @ 9am, if I haven't gone yet myself. My Dr said that I would be high on the induction list because of my health problems. So I am hoping that all will be okay and there won't be any emergency deliveries that day. Blood pressure has gone down was about 138/90 not bad at all considering what it was at. Protein was down to 252.... I think they thought it would have been over 300. But it wasn't shockingly. I was 3cm and 80% effaced when I went on Friday. Thought I would be further. But not to shabby considering my butt is in bed constantly. Had severe back labor Friday night and Saturday, I was in tears. It was not fun. It would last hours not seconds. Nothing helped.... yoga ball, heating pad, shower... NOTHING and still no baby. Finally I sat completely up on my couch and was able to get some rest.

I have to go back to the Dr's at least 2 more times before the 25th. Being at my Dr's office 3 times a week gets pretty old pretty darn quickly. LOL Nothing else really going on. I did go to Walmart Saturday to walk around a little bit, to get rid on some of the back pain and to get Tatum birthday gifts. Her birthday is on Wednesday, and she is so excited about it. She keeps telling people that her birthday is coming. Ha ha ha. We were there for about 30 minutes or so and then I started swelling up. At least I was able to get out of the house and doing something productive. I hate bed rest. But I wasn't there long and it helped the back pain for all of maybe an hour after. Came home and ate some Chipotle. YUMMY!! I can still have the chicken salad. That is delicious and low in carbs.

I am so done with this gestational diabetes crap!! I am going to probably indulge myself in whatever I want for the first week after I have baby Z but then back on Weight Watchers... which I love. I told DH that I wanted a huge bag of Milk duds, reeses, and heath bars next to my side after I push out baby Z. ha ha ha I am hoping that the weight will just fall off (after I eat all that candy) LOL. My Dr says I can do Weight watchers as soon as I want. I have gained about 60lbs I would like to be back in my jeans after Xmas at least my size 12 if not my size 10's. But no pressure. SERIOUSLY!! I was told that a lot of weight will be water weight because of the preeclamsia and the whole retaining water thing. Lets hope... right. I read in one article that one lady lost 30lbs in just water weight. HOLY CRAP!! That was even after the weight she lost after delivering. I gained a freaking 7 pounds in 4 days so maybe I could lose that much in 4 days after I have Zander. I hope I can loose it as fast as I gained it.

I never did get to go to the breastfeeding class that I wanted to go to. :( But I am sure I will be fine. At least I hope so. Only good thoughts on that. There are so many things that I would like to do after I have the baby. There are actually some good movies I would like to see. I am not a big movie goer by any means. But I would like to see a few new ones out. The town, The Hearafter, and Conviction. But once Z makes his appearance the holidays will be here, Javi starts football 2 days before my induction date and then Carson will be in football in January. Carson is so excited about playing football by the way. He was shocked when I told him I signed him up.

I am so excited to meet my baby. Can't believe he will be here soon. Not looking forward to the long nights. But I am not getting that much sleep now and I am so uncomfortable. Here's to hoping that he will come soon :)
