Waiting Game
Well, tomorrow is our due date. What does that mean? NOTHING. Let me fill you in on the crazy last few days we've had...
We had a Dr.'s appointment on Thursday. They always make Cat pee in a cup and check for protein (which is bad). Well the test showed +1 (out of 4 and any + is cause for further scrutiny). So the Dr. ordered a full urinalysis and a Non-Stress Test for the baby (which I mentioned in the last post). We scheduled an appointment for this Thursday and went on our way. Friday a nurse called and said that the urinalysis came back a +2. Not good. They moved our appointment to Monday (today) and scheduled another Non-Stress Test a 24 hour urine test and some other blood work. Basically they thought Cat was getting preeclampsia (a bad version of high blood pressure in pregnancy). Of course, this is an ok development considering how close we are to the finish line. So we figured that we would go in today and we would schedule an induction or c-section.
When we got to the doctor today we had the Non-Stress Test and it was great. The nurse showed as a chart of what they wanted the graph to look like and bingo, Jonah was textbook! Then the Dr. came in and couldn't explain it, but all the tests were NORMAL. It was amazing.
So now we wait. We have an appointment next Monday (we'll be 40 weeks and 6 days). If the baby hasn't come on his own this week, we'll schedule an induction for next week. We'll see. At least everyone is still healthy!!!!
I'll keep the blog updated, so check back. If we have Jonah soon, I'll update the blog with the vitals within a few hours of his birth!!
