New Happenings

-We scheduled my induction for Monday the 30th. She had warned me that she didn't want me going past my due date, but somehow I hadn't realized how close it really is. Holy cow. Due in less than a week. We'll have Logan any day now!

-Kimbal and I had our first (and likely only) major holiday with just the two of us at home. It was pretty wonderful to be honest. I missed my family like crazy, but I'm really glad we got to have that experience once.

Things I learned this week

-Almost everyone who's experienced Pitocin tells horror stories about it. Great. That really helps with my pre-labor anxiety.

-Officially diagnosed with preeclampsia. Honestly I'm not as freaked out by this as I thought I would be. We're lucky it only came on when I was far enough along for it not to be a big deal.

-Because of the diagnosis I get to have Non-Stress Tests twice a week and I'm on modified bed rest. The tests really aren't stressful (true to their name) and I kinda love getting to see/hear him all the time.

Things I learned this week

-Logan doesn't seem all that keen on coming into the world. No change in dilating/effacing. We're talking about when to induce labor. Super.

-I'm being tested for preeclampsia again. Lovely

-Lots of contractions, but they don't seem to be doing anything. Not dilating at all. Lame.

Things I learned this week

-I have friends in this ward. They are wonderful! Such a fun shower and such sweet gifts for little Logan
