37 week check up

So I went for my 37 week check up today. I walked in took the typical urine test, got my blood pressure taken. It was a little elevated and there were traces of protein in my urine. So my doctor came in checked me and compared me to fort knox, because nothing is happening. She then said she wanted to get my blood pressure done again. They took it again and it was still elevated, so my doctor ordered a blood test and another urine sample. My doctor wanted to check for toxemia and preeclampsia, so I will most likely find out the results tomorrow. If I have either she is going to induce me sooner than 39 weeks. Either way she says she will induce me at 39 weeks, because I want to and I had Sydney really fast after I started labor. I am anxious and excited and ready to have him and my mom here. Sydney is getting so excited. I hope she does okay with him. I'll keep you posted. Sorry if this post doesn't make sense, because I am on the phone while I type this.

Best of luck with everything! You'll do great!

I missed you at the family reunion! Your Mom beat me in the 10K by just over 5 minutes! What an animal! It was fun to run with her!

Sydney is so cute and clearly beginning to share similarities to her Mother's personality!
