32 weeks 4 days!

And still no signs of pre-eclampsia. I feel wonderful and everyone tells me I look wonderful! I am being delivered 6 weeks from this Thursday on November 15.
I went to my class reunion last night and danced the night away with old friends and felt good about myself! I had worried that I would look huge and pregnant and maybe shouldn't go. Not the case, I felt good and thought I looked good and a great time was had by all! (okay, maybe not Kevin who would have rather been home in bed but he was a great sport and attended every function over the weekend without a complaint!)
Life is good...

31 weeks 3 days

And no signs of pre-eclampsia! I feel good at this point that if he was born, I know what to expect! Prior to now was touch and go but from now on I can handle it!
And the d-day is ... November 15! So the prayers are now directed toward that day!

31 weeks!

Today is the day that I began my hospital stay before delivering Mia. I was 31 weeks exactly and then she was delivered at 31 weeks and 3 days. This Sunday will be the longest that I have ever been pregnant (and this is my fourth pregnancy). I also developed the pre-eclampsia between weeks 29 and 31.
I am proud to say that my blood pressure is fine, I have no swelling and no protein in my urine. I go back to the doctor tomorrow and they should schedule my c-section. I will post again this weekend to let you know our son's birthday! I am referring to it as "d-day" (delivery day)!

29 weeks

Well I am 29 weeks pregnant, back to work, and surviving. I must say going back to work wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I feel great physically and seem to have a nice class. I have 25 3rd graders, which includes 5 classified special ed. children because I am an "inclusion" classroom. Emotionally, leaving Mia has been terrible. I know that I have it easier than a lot of women because I leave Mia with Meg, but it is still hard to be away from her. I watch the clock and think about what we would be doing if I were home with her. I miss her terribly. I have wallpapered the walls with her pictures and that helps. Plus, I have some really great friends there and that helps too.
So far, I have gained about 20 pounds which is perfect for 29 weeks. I look like I am carrying a basketball in the front. Very stereotypical for a boy but it seems to be true. At work they tease me and say that from the back I don't look pregnant. I have no stretch marks so far and am hoping to keep them away again!
Little Kev is a mover and shaker and we can watch him doing flips at night. I am very excited for him to be born and to spend about 10 months home with him and Mia. I think Mia will be a great big sister. She is doing very well with Sophia and has only hit her a few times and she realized right away that it was wrong and then she was "nice" to her. Little Sophia just loves Mia to pieces. When we walk in to the apartment in the morning, Sophia lights up and coos and aahs at Mia. They are going to be great friends.
Again, I apologize for the lack of posts and pictures and will try to do better! Love ya if you are still reading and believe in my ability to occasionally post to this blog!
