Friday September 10, 2010

Hello everyone...it's been a while since my last post to this blog. A lot has happened in the past two weeks. My blood pressure has gotten higher so my doctor has restricted me to working 4 hours per day. It is a very strange feeling to work a half day when I am used to working 50 hours plus per week. My feet and ankles are very swollen, but at least with this pregnancy they didn't turn into true kankles until this week. Now I don't know if I will see my ankles until after the baby is born. Last week we had a healthcare conference with my doctor, the neonatologist, nurses and the nurse supervisors in the birth ward. That appointment has made everything turn very real. I am starting to notice my stress level may not always show on my face, but my body is having a hard time keeping up so it's a good thing I am slowing down and not burying myself in my work anymore.
This week both of the ladies who have been pregnant along side of me at work had their babies. They both had baby boys, and I am so happy for them!!! Yesterday I realized I am the only one that I know of left at work who is still pregnant...I started to get emotional at work realizing that it's almost time for us to see our little girl. Last week her heartbeat was strong, and she has been moving constantly so I know she is a fighter! I have another doctor appointment this morning. He will check and see if I am dialated today. I am a little nervous, but remaining strong for myself and the baby. I will update everyone again after my appointment this morning.
