so no more thinking about work. thank god.
Kitten update: my blood pressure is still kind of iffy so they're keeping an eye on me and requesting that i stay down as much as possible. and i'm freaking exhausted, so i went ahead and went on full-time maternity leave. i'm SO over work at this point. being eleventy months pregnant saps ALL of the ambition right out of you.
AND i've been having insomnia for the first time ever in my life. i lie there in bed thinking about all the things i need to get done. last night, after lieing in bed for two hours to no avail, i finally got up and grabbed a notebook and started making check lists. it's like mental nesting. and i hate the word "nesting."
next week we have an ultrasound on monday to make sure Kitten's tolerating the stress okay. it's a biophysical profile ("BPP"), and they will check her breathing, muscle tone/movement, heart rate, and amount of amniotic fluid. everything should be fine, we're just being extra cautious. and also, yay i get to have another ultrasound! i wasn't expecting to have any more.
my next doctor's appointment is next thursday - we're to the once-a-week appointments now. looks like she's weighing about 5lbs at this point. i need to make it through the next two weeks to let her put on a little more weight, and after that, LET'S GO! he'll induce me if my blood pressure gets too high or if i request it, and otherwise we'll just wait and see if she decides to make an appearance.
but let me tell you - i'm not waiting very long. the highs for the weekend are in the 102-103 range. forgeeeeet that.
