Eventful Day...

Today was a bit crazy. I went to work this morning(for the last day) at about 7:15. I started feeling a little dizzy and my vision was a bit spotty. I went and had our nurse check my blood pressure and sure enough it was a little high. I checked for the next three hours and it continued to rise. It eventually got up to 132/95. For me this is pretty high, I'm typically 110ish/70ish. I had called the Dr and they finally got back to me around noon. She told me to go home, lay on my left side, and drink lots of water. So, that's what I did. I went in for my Dr appointment this afternoon and my blood pressure was back down to 118/70. Yeah!! She said it's probably just anxiety. I've had a lot on my brain lately, I'm sure you can imagine.

Well, while I was at the Dr. we decided to take a different route with my delivery. Because of Tyler's size we decided to do a c-section Thursday morning at 11:30. We went over every possibility of delivering a big baby, good and bad. I think this is the safest way to go. All along I've been set on a vaginal birth. About a month or so ago I came to the realization that what I wanted isn't what is most important. What's most important is that Tyler is here...safe and healthy. Then, after finding out last week that he was already 8lb 12oz I have been really worried about a vaginal delivery. My worst fear being that he would get stuck and that could lead to many more complications. I've thought about it all week, and talked to Rusty about it too. I'm very content with a c-section. I'm a very planned, structured, and organized person so a c-section actually suits me well. Because I'm delivering at 38 weeks we still have to do the amnio in the morning to check for lung development. Dr. Popov said those results should be back by tomorrow afternoon and she would call and let me know.

So, Thursday is the day. I'm so very excited and I can't wait to meet Tyler!!!
