My last OB appt

was today. Nothing too exciting, but I gained 4 lbs in the last week. That puts total weight gain at 33 lbs, since I'm at 141 now. I hope I can keep some of the weight on after the delivery, but don't count on it. BP still low, my heart rate still super high, and now Julian's hr is high too. Has been around 120, now it's about 150. The NST also showed ctx every 8 mins lasting 2-3 mins. Some were off the scale, but I couldn't feel them.
I've had protein and Leukocytes in urine every visit, I don't know what that means though. My ammonia is rising weekly and is now just below the "safe zone" so they were concerned about that, saying they may have me go back on the adult formula again orally if I can keep it down before I get my G-tube.
Julian is somewhere is the 6+ lb range, and induction shouldn't take too long they said. I can expect to meet my boy around supper time on Monday. They said my cervix is very ready (based on checking it last week)
So anyway, 4 days to go, and I'm friggin miserable, emotional, and in pain. I guess I'm close enough I should just shut up about it. Anyway, since I don't want to keep bugging all of you, I won't post before I go in Monday, so I'll ask now: PLEASE please please pray for us! The chances of things going badly are so high that I'm terrified. Both of us could have all kinds of things go wrong, including brain damage, coma and death. Dr's should be able to prevent this, but there's no way to be sure.
At the very least, I hope Julian didn't get my bad genes so he will be ok, I don't really matter too much. But please send some good thoughts our way next week, I would really appreciate it! Thank you and sorry for all the whining.

Everything is going to go great!! Just take a deep breath and relax. I know....you can go ahead and kick me now:-) Seriously, you are not bugging so post away until Monday. You need to get it out of your system and we are all here to listen and give support. Please, please, please have your sister update us on Monday letting us know how the delivery went.

Just four more days, you must be so excited to be nearing the finish line, though the last while can be such a PITA with discomfort etc. Def KUP on how things are, and for sure post if you can. That is what we are here for. How are they going to induce when they do, gel or IV? Are they prepared for you if you go in sooner than monday? Good luck girl! Will keep both of you in my thoughts.
