10 Days Left
Good and bad news. I am still borderline preeclampsia but my test results came back low enough that I do not need to be induced early. It is good news to know that the baby and I are healthy and not at risk. The bad news is that I am still pregnant!!!
In some ways it feels like everything is going by so fast and the baby will be here before we know it. On the other hand 10 days until my due date feels like forever, and then I could possibly go two more weeks over that date. Arg I hate the waiting game.
My work is holding interviews for my position today and tomorrow. I had not even realized that my last day at work is scheduled for next Friday. Leaving work and letting someone have full control over my job is going to be extremely hard for me. I keep having horror nightmares about coming back to work in January and having files missing and erased or corrupted.
Matt and I were talking about the baby last night and both of us have decided we have not grasped the fact that we are going to be taking a baby home with us from the hospital. I know that sounds so strange but I feel like I haven't even had time to think about it. I just keep thinking that I am almost done being pregnant and that is as far as I get.
I just need to have this baby soon! The anxiety about making sure everything is ready and leaving work and the thought of labor is making me an absolute crazy person. I hope this baby comes any day!!

36 Weeks, Ready or Not!
I went to my 36 week doctor appointment on Tuesday expecting the usual 20 minutes in and out. Hear the babies heart beat, get measured, weight and blood pressure test, leave a urine sample and back to work within an hour. Oh no such luck!
I arrived and did the usual weight, blood pressure and urine samples expecting everything to be fine like it always is. Well my blood pressure was high, and I did not gain any weight in the two weeks since my last appointment. When the nurse looked at my urine sample she did not comment, and instead hustled me into a room.
She left me in the room for about 15 minutes and then I heard her and the doctor talking quietly outside my room. The doctor came in the room and gave me the good news. She believes that I have pre eclampsia, especially because I have had so much swelling the entire pregnancy. Because my tests had always been normal before she wants to wait one more week before she diagnoses me either way.
She checked the babies heartbeat which was normal but when she took his measurements he had not grown since his measurement two weeks ago. The doctor decided to order an ultrasound to make sure everything was okay and check to see if the baby was head down. He was and has plenty of fluid and is still being active so they are not too concerned.
So then the doctor sat me down and had a serious discussion with me about being induced early. Which basically consisted of if there is protein in my urine next week they are not going to let me continue to be pregnant. I just stared at her, I didn't know what to think or do or say. I could be having my baby next week!
So Matt and I will be spending our weekend scrambling to get everything finished up just in case we meet our baby next week. I'm hoping and praying that all my test results will come back normal next week and be fine, but on the other hand I'm so excited to meet my baby I can't stand it and it would be so fun to not have to wait three more weeks!

My Baby Has a Name!!
Matt and I are 95% sure we know what we are naming our little baby!! But we are keeping it a secret until baby is here because we want to surprise everyone! Oh I am so excited, naming the baby makes everything seem so real and close! I can't believe our little baby will be here in six short weeks!
At this point six weeks feels like absolutely forever but I know it will fly by. We almost have the nursery set up, we just need to wash all of our baby bedding, clothes, blankets, hats, etc... We also need to figure out a better system for organizing his room and get the last things that we need.
Here is a picture of his crib all set up! I can't wait to meet my little baby in just a month and a half!

88 Days Left!
The app on my phone let me know today that I only have 88 DAYS LEFT until my due date! Holy cow, where did the time go? Work has just been so crazy the past couple months, and especially the past few weeks that weeks have seemed like days. Luckily it looks like my workload will not be lightening up anytime soon so the remainder of my pregnancy should fly right by!
We also found out last week that Brittany and Bryce are having a boy too! Everyone was so shocked, even Brittany's doctor because the baby's heart rate has always been above 160 and not one person guessed that she was having a boy.
We are all so excited though especially where the babies will be so close in age and we are hoping that they will be good friends. Brittany brought over a bunch of the baby clothes she has bought to show us and Matt and I have a bunch of the same stuff she does! They really will be little buddies.
Now we just need the next 88 days to fly by so that Matt and I can finally meet our little guy!

20 Week Ultrasound Update
So on Monday Matt and I went to the 20 week ultrasound appointment and it went awesome!! I don't know why but everytime I have a doctor appointment I get so nervous. I was really nervous for this appointment though. It probably had to deal with the fact that it was at the hospital and that they were checking to make sure the baby is growing correctly with no complications.
Well everything went wonderful. We found LDS hospital with just a few wrong turns and the nurses and doctors were so nice to us. The ultrasound technician we had was great, she told us everything she was looking for and when she found it she would tell us.
On Monday I was 20 weeks and 1 day but the baby was measuring 20 weeks 5 days and weighs 12 ounces. The technician said your baby weighs the same as a coke haha. They looked at his brain, heart, lungs, stomach, kidneys, and spine.
Matt told the technician that we already knew we were having a boy early on in the ultrasound but after about 10 minutes she stopped and said "They told you it was a boy?" Matt and I both looked at each other and panicked a bit and then she started laughing and said "Well good because it is definetely a boy!" She was also the fourth person to tell us that we have a very active baby so Matt and I are a little worried that we may have super baby come out but we are so excited!!

Ultrasound today!
Yay I have my 20 week ultrasound today! I can't wait to see my little baby moving all around, it feels like it has been forever since I have seen him. I also am having this ultrasound at the LDS hospital which is where I am delivering so it will be good to see the hospital and know where to go. I'm so excited to be halfway done!
