As of today I am exactly 35 weeks and have 35 days left. Today baby and I got to go through a "dress rehersal" about what will happen when I am in labor. The last two days I have been showing some signs of pre-eclampsia. I began to get concerned because if it did turn out that I had it, I was worried that she would come early which we are not ready for. I had tried to contact my Doctor but she was out of town. After a few calls to the DR on her vacation in Utah I got my orders to go to labor and delivery for some lab work and to have the baby and my blood pressure monitored for a while.
Going there I really had no expectations of what would happen. I went in and registered and a sheet of labels with my information was printed. These labels went on all my paperwork, blood collection tubes, a bag to hold my clothes, and an ID bracelet. I got to go into the L&D room and had a chance to practice how to work the gowns. Two monitors were placed on the baby and I had one monitor for the blood pressure.
After about an hour my blood pressure was down, no concerns about protein levels, and baby activity was good. I was allowed to go home before my blood work came back because everything else looked good. I came home feeling more confident that baby would be cooking longer but then I had a fortune cookie today and the message said, "You will be receiving an unexpected blessing in the next few days". Hopefully a few days according the Chinese is 35.

Wow Danielle, she'll be here before you know it! I laughed about your name post. We can't have any more boys because we used up the only boy name we could agree on. I'm sure you'll come up with something perfect!

I am glad that everything turned out ok. I told you, piece of mind it worth the copay! Everyone at class was worried about you today, even Mogens! Take it easy this weekend.
