Weekly Doctor Appt.

I had my doctor appt today and found out a few things:

1. I have bronchitis (yippee) and he gave me an antibiotic.
2. I have a yeast infection on my arm (sounds gross, just looks like a rough patch of skin, just fungal) and he gave me a script for that too.
3. I am 100% effaced and dilated at the size of a pinky. This means that my cervix is ripe and that I could go at anytime....literally. He doesn't expect me to last until the 15th, pretty positive.
4. My BP was really high (highest it has ever been), gained 5lbs (b/c I am retaining water), and am having edema (dimpling of skin, sign of retaining water). So, I have to go back to doctor on Wednesday. If things haven't improved, then he will go ahead and do c-section by Friday or early next week. YIkes.
5. I am now on strict bedrest, so I really can't do anything but lay here. My mom is changing her flight and coming out Wednesday. That will be helpful.


So, please pray this baby comes soon. We are ready, and even more ready now.
