Baby Update

I went to the dr again today and I am still only border line preeclampsia so for now they are just watching me closely to see if anything progresses. I have to go in twice a week and they are going to to non stress test once a week to monitor the baby to make sure that she is ok. After what the dr told me friday I freaked out because I wasn't ready for a baby. I went through the cloths that she got while we were home for christmas and had hardly anything 0-3 months mostly just sleepers. I had no onsies or socks so we took an emergency trip to target and got some onsies and socks and newborn diapers. I felt much better after that and packing my bag. I also got myself mentally prepared to have a baby. Jared says now that I am ready to have the baby everything will be fine and it will be a long 4 weeks until my due date.

what jared said is so true! if you're feeling all prepared the baby won't come forever! but if you're unprepared it drops in on you! doesn't seem fair, does it? :)

Yikes! Best of luck! It sounds like you are already more prepared than I was when I went in to labor. I had just bought nursing bras, new pjs (for some reason I was convinced I needed cute pjs for the hospital--I didn't even wear them!) and a diaper bag 2 hours before going in to labor. And I didn't have my bag packed, or Ethan's room set up, or his going home outfit picked out... Good for you, you are on the ball. But don't worry, I think it's normal to feel totally unprepared--it's such a change, I'm not sure you CAN be prepared. Let me know if you want dinner this week or anything else.
