I had a doctors appointment today. I'm extremely grumpy at this point and I wasn't even going to post anything but it's been awhile so I thought I would put something up. Still not dilated one bit. My feet are so swollen I have avoided even looking down at them. Propping them up, drinking water and avoiding salty foods hasn't helped at all. My feet are just swollen and that is that. I gained 6 pounds in one week all from the swelling. I look enormously disgusting. My doctor sent me to have blood taken to check for preeclampsia. I don't have high blood pressure so I don't really understand why she sent me. But she seemed concerned and said she wanted to keep a close eye on me. I have to go back again on Monday for another office visit. I'm hoping that will be the visit we discuss our options for getting her out. So many people have expressed their opinions about how they were on bed rest, with high risk diagnosis and so uncomfortable and the doctor still wouldn't induce them so I not very hopeful at any type of solution. I hate waiting this out. I've never been so miserable. So until this baby is out or they invent a drainage solution for pregnant bodies to get all this extra fluid out, I will be cranky and unpleasant.
But I do want to thank my husband for pointing out that I have been pretty tough throughout this whole thing considering what I've been dealing with, you know, manufacturing humans in my belly. I feel awful for being so lazy and tired. He has gone out of his way to come to all of my doctors appointments, driving me to work and all the extra chores he has done around the house. He'll be the best daddy.
