3 weeks and counting

So...we have 3 weeks from tomorrow until our due date...will we make it?? Only time will tell. It's really hard to believe that the months have gone by so fast. The small things are becoming so apparent now. Just today, I was doing laundry and realized that the next time I have to buy detergent I'm going to be a Mommy. I'm trying to enjoy each day as it passes, but am becoming so anxious I can't stand it! I have serious nesting syndrome...I mopped the entire house between yesterday and today...Jeremy was so mad. I have tried to limit myself to keep from progressing the labor since Jeremy is out of town until Tuesday and LeeAnn is leaving, but I don't know how much longer I can go without just going on this cleaning rampage!!!!

Last Monday was my scheduled visit with LeeAnn. My blood pressure was still high and my protein levels elevated. So she sent me over to the hospital for monitoring. I had no idea what to think. We were there for a couple of hours and eventually my blood pressure started to lower. Riley was fine and made sure we knew he was there. We then went back to the hospital on Wednesday night. I'm embarrassed to say, but we thought my water was breaking. It turned out to be the outer layer of my water sac that was leaking. So, I spent up into the wee hours of the morning at the hospital walking and being checked for fluid. Better safe then sorry, but we learned I was dilated 1cm. YEAH!! Oh, and my blood pressure was fine and no protein when we were there!!

We had to go back to LeeAnn's on Friday for an ultrasound and to be put on the monitor again. Things were okay actually. My blood pressure was still good with no protein. I was so excited. LeeAnn okayed for me to continue to work until our next visit. We just floating from one visit to the next. The ultrasound showed that Riley has hair!! It was sticking out from his head...it was so awesome. The ultrasound tech said that his head was really in my pelvis...I guess that explains why I have been a little uncomfortable?? Just cross your fingers that he holds on until LeeAnn gets back from New York on the 28th.

Thank you for all your thoughts and prayers about my blood pressure and protein...I hope I can keep it under control. We have such awesome family and friends...we love you all and so will Riley!!!
