At the first of the week I went to the Dr. and was just sure that I was going to be dialated and that this baby was going to come early. At this point with Brynlee I was dialated to at least a 1. Anyway, things were a little different than expected. First they found protein in my urine which I guess puts me at risk for toxemia. My blood pressure was OK, but now they have to monitor me a little closer. I have to go in every 4 days and have my blood pressure and urine checked. At that appointment I wasn't dialated at all...DANG!!! I am kind of all over the place though. I went in today and they found sugar in my urine and initially my blood pressure was high. So they re-took it 3 different times and it dropped quite a bit. They had to prick my finger and check my glucose to make sure I didn't have gestational diabetes and that came back ok. It just seems to be different each time I go in. I have been told to take it easy which isn't too hard for me to do, but I really want this baby out. I am nervous for a very big baby! Brynlee came 10 days early and she was 7lb 12oz.....NOT SMALL! Thanks to Dave, who was a 9lb 9oz baby, my chances of having a small 6 pounder are slim! So if things keep fluctuating like they are, they may take the baby early, but I will keep you posted! I guess we better decide on a name here pretty soon!

Good luck with everything!! I can't believe you are 36 weeks already, I wish I was that close too!! We can't wait to see this cute little girl.
Tiff,
I had the exact same thing with this last baby (protein and sugar in the urine, but no high blood pressure). All the blood tests got old really fast--I know how you feel! Don't worry--you're almost there.
tiff,
it sounds like you've been all over the map. i'm glad to hear that you're doing well. good luck with the upcoming weeks!
Scary Tiff!! I'm definitely going to keep you in my prayers. Good Luck! I can't wait to see pictures of the new baby- hopefully sooner than later ;-)
Hey Tiff!!
How scary! It makes you more grateful for the time we live in with all the medical knowledge available. I'm so excited you're almost there! Good luck...you'll soon have her in your arms. :) Can't wait to see how gorgeous she is!
sounds like you are ready to have this baby! i'm so sorry for all the trouble that you've had to endure! good luck these last few weeks! p.s. the trip to idaho looked like fun!
Crazy! I can't believe how quickly things can change. Nice to know they are monitoring you every few days. Hope it all goes well. We'll be anxiously waiting to see when this little one will come! I hope sooner than later for you.
