I can't believe it has been so long since I posted. We have been really busy ending the school year and getting ready for Baby Jackson.
I started my weekly doctor appointments the middle of May. Dr. Hearn was concerned because my blood pressure was getting higher. When it got up to 140/90, he ordered more blood work and labs and made May 31 my last day of school. All of the extra labs were not fun, but the results showed that I did not have preeclampsia. That was a relief, but my blood pressure is still high. He decided at my May 31 appointment that he would induce Monday, June 6 at 5:00 pm meaning that Jackson should be born at some point on June 7. I will be 39 weeks that day. I do have to go back to the doctor on Friday, June 3 to have my blood pressure checked again. Hopefully, it is not any higher. It will be interesting to see if it is lower since I have not been at school. The last couple of weeks have been stressful!
I am such a big planner that it is nice to have a definite date. This gives me time to my all of my to-do lists and check everything off. I have been off from school for two days now, and it has been nice to sit and relax some. My feet are not as swollen as they were, and I don't have to try to shove my feet into shoes. The bad things is that I have been spending a lot of time on www.etsy.com. I have found some of the cutest stuff on there! I can't wait until these get here! I actually have not left the house the past two days. It has just been too hot. The temps have been in the upper 90s with the heat index over a 100! It is too hot to be June! Being pregnant adds at least 20 degrees!
Ending school early was bittersweet. My school is being remodeled, so there is construction everywhere! At first I was moving to another room, and then I was staying in my room. Even though I am staying in the same room, everything that could not be stuffed into a cabinet had to be packed into boxes. These boxes had to be labeled a certain way. Thankfully, Tim and my parents helped me pack everything. I was able to make it to the fifth grade party and the Spanish field trip, but I am missing Awards Day and Exhibition. My sweet class did throw me a book shower for Jackson. I was very lucky to have such a wonderful class and group of parents this year!
