Are we really 36 days from my due date? And that's just my due date...that's not actual real time when Caleb will come. That means it's even less! While I've accomplished a lot, I still feel like I have a tremendous amount to do before he arrives. There's twice weekly doctor appointments, monitoring and at least one or two more trips into Labor & Delivery before he is actually born.
Oh, PE (preeclampsia), how I loathe you! I’ve suffered through you for two pregnancies and here I was in the last bit of my third pregnancy thinking that I was in the clear. NOPE! For those who don’t know PE or preeclampsia is a pregnancy complication characterized by high blood pressure and signs of damage to another organ system, often the kidneys. Preeclampsia usually begins after 20 weeks of pregnancy in a woman whose blood pressure had been normal. Even a slight rise in blood pressure may be a sign of preeclampsia.
It's crazy to think I'm so far past the half way point. I'm actually closer to delivering than I am remaining pregnant. We have so much going on in the next two weeks that it's hard to focus on having the baby but after these couple of weeks we will be able to rest and "nest".
Twenty-Four weeks pregnant! WTF? Crazy, I feel like I blinked and I popped! And let me tell you...I've popped. Baby bump in full effect now...officially bigger than the butt and the boobs! The last four weeks have been pretty laid back minus one small trip to the ER.
It's kind of crazy to think I'm almost 22 weeks now and haven't gotten this up but last week was crazy with it being Hannah's birthday and all the baby Gender Reveal stuff going on. So I thought I'd play catch up on how the weeks 16-20 of pregnancy went. Let's just say Week 16 wasn't off to a good start.
