BP update etc.

I dropped by Kroger again yesterday evening and my readings ranged from
155/89 (first one) to 142/82 (last one). Bottom numbers were all in
the 80s (4 readings).

I am still very swollen, very tired.

I called the nurse line and left a message with my symptoms. I didn't
get any frantic phone calls so presumably they are happy with my
self-diagnosis and treatment.

I've had a lot of contractions yesterday that were strong enough to wake
me from napping, so I am hoping that all these things put together are
a sign of impending labor--my official due date is today but I have
been planning all along to go into labor on Thursday.

On the bright side, for the time being the anxiety has subsided, I am
sleeping fairly well, and my family are being more or less helpful. :-)

Get the sleep while you can (although I am sure you know that by now LOL)

One thing I can honestly say is that sleep issues with newborns have never been
a huge problem for me. I got the hang of nursing while asleep right away and
it has always served me well. :-)

I was lucky with DS#1 in terms of his sleeping pattern. He was sleeping a
good 7 hr stretch or so by 4 weeks. I can only hope his soon-to-be brother
falls in line :-)

Thursday works better for me, as it is my day off so I can read the NG more
readily that day

Hope you can keep up the good rest over the next few days!!!!
