doc appt update II

well i'm back. and no baby jordan yet. my blood test was ok, so was the other one...so we are still in waiting mode. we left kinda disappointed, but knowing that he just isn't quite ready yet and grateful that i am healthy. my white blood cell count was high so i'm already on antibiotics as a precaution.
other than that it is lots of rest for me until he gets here.
we got the carseats installed and looking in the backseat with a carseat in it is surreal. we are so ready!
i'm heading to the store tonight for the rest of the stuff for our hospital bags, etc. either way it's any day now so we may as well be prepared.

jenny, thanks for asking about the meanings of pre-eclampsia and GBS in the previous post...i'm sure everyone doesnt know and because i've been reading up for 9 months and watching a Baby Story on TLC every day i feel like those are just common terms.

GBS= group beta strep. you're either a carrier or not...no harm to the mother but could cause breathing problems, etc in baby if not detected early. the solution is to give antibiotics during labor so when the baby comes thru the birth canal it isn't affected. the baby also must stay 48 hrs after delivery to ensure he's okay.

Pre-eclampsia/toxemia-combo of high blood pressure, swelling, protein in urine. not a good thing..can cause seizures in mother, etc.

okay, now that the terms are properly defined and everyone is updated, i'm going to try and get some work done so i can go home and put my swollen feet up awhile.

we will keep ya'll posted! sorry to get everyone excited...but either way tomorrow is APRIL and Jordan is coming!

love to all,
the hudgins
