So the past week has been quite a lot of doctors and tests. Last week my feet, legs, and ankles swelled up all of a sudden and I was getting sharp pains on my right side along with on and off headaches. So we went to the hospital twice and the doctors once for extra testing and blood work. Today was my doctors appointment and finally we have some results.
Even though I still have to continue some more test it looks like I'm on the border of being Preeclamptic. So with that and the baby being a little bit bigger because of the GD we have officially scheduled an induction. I really hope I go into labor before the induction because I hear inducing can be hard in me some times, but I guess it will all be up to Regina on when she comes.
We are heading into the hospital on December 5th at 6:30 pm to start a drug to loosen things up and for some monitoring before the pitocin. Then in the morning of the 6th we will start the pitocin and hopefully have a baby by the end of the day. I guess inducing can take up to 3 days so it's not guaranteed but I really hope it doesn't take that long. But with the way my pregnancy goes I won't rule anything out...
Landon and I are really excited to have a tentative date on the calendar to say she should be here for sure by since a due date is just an "around this time" date. I think I'm just a tad bit more excited though because I really miss sitting, standing, or laying down comfortably.
