It’s been a busy and stressful morning already, and it is only 10 am! I woke up and checked my sugar, it was 173, it is supposed to be 100 or less in the morning. So I got upset about that and then I noticed that Caleb was not moving around, I thought maybe he was still sleeping, but after I got ready for work and was dressed and he still hadn’t budged I thought something might be wrong. I checked my sugar again, 185! It kept going up and up. It got as high as 199! So I left for work a few minutes early so I could ask a nurse what I should do but I got there and the nurses were all late this morning and by that time I could call my ob. So I asked a nurse first and she said it was probably the pie I had eaten, which didnt make any sense because that was at 10 pm the night before and my sugar was low at the time. But then I realized it probably was my own fault, but Caleb still hadn’t moved so I was really panicked because the specialist told me to call my ob whenever I couldn’t count 10 movements w/in two hours. Right when I called I felt Caleb kick a tiny kick, but it had been almost 3 hours since I’d been up and about so that was not a good sign. So I ended up leaving work, going to the ob and hearing Caleb’s steady heartbeat, thank God!
And I had my first internal exam since way back when, and he said I was barely dilated but that my cervix was soft. He said he was going to send me to get my usual ultrasound work up today and if Caleb wasnt doing well that he may induce labor!!! He said that is why they did an internal exam to see where I was and if I was dilated at all. But if Caleb is fine on the u/s then he will just bring back in next week to get checked. But my blood pressure was up too, 140/84 so I know that isn’t a good thing either. I am debating whether I call my mom and tell her but I’ve decided there is no need to worry her when it may just be nothing, maybe Caleb is just tired, or lazy. So I have my u/s this afternoon at 1:15 and if it goes badly we may have Caleb before the weekend is through, so I am hoping he does well. But since I have gone to the dr and come home he is moving around a lot more. But nonetheless I am going to take a nap just in case I get stuck at the hospital for the rest of the day. I’ll update as soon as I know what is happening with Caleb, but I have faith that he will be staying put at least another week or so, or so I hope…….
