I was more comfortable knowing more about the hospital and the staff, and seeing the L&D rooms. I am so glad that the baby does not leave the room after the birth, and they do all the cleaning up and tests in room with mommy. I am also glad to know that there can be 3 people present for the birth itself. I'm really hoping that Daddy can be there- he goes back to work tomorrow for 2 weeks. So hopefully Jonah can cook for 2 weeks more. The hospital staff was so nice! I am really excited because they are so personal and really want to make your experience there one to remember. This is one of the top specialty hospitals in the nation, if not the #1. They have the best NICU program around, and neonatalologists are there 24 hours. I really think this is why God chose us to stick around G-town and have the baby here. I am getting way more excited! We're just hoping that my doctor will be there to deliver Jonah. I love her so much.
We took a 36 week and 4 day belly picture yesterday, and it's me telling Jonah to hurry up and come out! Ha! I wanted him to come yesterday since Dad is still here, but since he didn't, we have to wait. =)
Well today Mom and I checked my blood pressure at the machine at Wal-Mart. It was 141/91- higher than I expected considering I laid around all morning/afternoon before we went. So, I called my Nurse to check on the group strep b test and urine analysis tests I completed, and let her know about the BP. She said that the tests were fine, and I tested negative for strep B (thank Goodness), but the Doctor wants to see me tomorrow instead of Thurs. for my 37 week appointment, since the Doc will be out of town for Easter. I am very nervous about this for some reason, and I just hope my BP goes down. I would hate to have to be assessed again for a couple hours in the hospital following my appointment. We'll see how it goes. Pray that I'm not nervous/anxious about her checking me for dilation! I have got to get over that fear...
I'll update after my appointment.
