37w 3d, H1N1, possibly Pre-e


Getting big!! I am hoping I am not having signs of pre-e but rather just having end of pregnancy symptoms! Feet & hands are swollen as heck, I've gained 4-5 lbs in a week, slightly high BP. I haven't been to the doctor in a week. I was suppose to go in tomorrow but that leads into the H1N1 situation.
A kid in my grade level has a confirmed case of H1N1. I found this out this morning after being called in the principals office. So I was sent to urgent care. I thought they would swab my nose to test me for influenza A but nope they gave me a script for Tamiflu and sent me on my way. SO the OB's office won't let me come in till Monday now! I understand they don't want anyone else infected if in case I do end up with it. I think if my BP was up a lot higher they'd want me to go to the hospital or the urgent care again.
Besides that things are going... she is moving around like crazy. I feel her really LOW in my booty and crotch! ITs fun teaching and having a stabbing feeling down there! OUCH! I am so stressed out about leaving a sub in my room for that long! I am also having a hard time planning stuff for her... I am doing 2 weeks worth and thats it. She probably won't even do half the stuff I leave so its hard to plan too much!!

Can't wait to meet Lillian and hold her in my arms!!

wow how scary for you, i hope your ok.

The last few weeks are the worst, the waiting to meet your baby is the hardest thing, but it's so worth the wait!

That's a lot to take in all at once, I'm sure. Hopefully, you have a good sub and good co-workers that can help your sub if needed. I would think that you could just leave a general outline/plans anyway. There's no way you can plan every day for a period that long!

Hopefully you don't have too much waiting ahead of you and you'll be holding that beautiful baby soon.
