About Me

My photo
Everything happens for a reason. This is what i keep telling myself these days. With all the troubles that i had last year, i pray that i come out on top as a stronger person.

For one chapter to begin, one must be closed. I'm closing the chapter of my life where i am a victim of circumstance, and opening a new chapter where I am full of optimism. I got accepted into Sierra College's Nursing Program for Fall 2009 . I know this is the start of a better life for us. I'm extremly blessed and fortunate to have gotten into the program after only applying once. I'm taking this as a sign from whatever greater power there is out there that this is what I am truly supposed to be doing. i'm not taking anything for granted anymore.

38 weeks

Weight: 175 lbs
Blood Pressure: 130/90

The good news...

I went to the clinic today to see Dr. Dong. I was especially excited about this one because she was going to check if I was dilated at all.

It turns out that I'm at -1 station and 1 1/2 cm dialted. She said that she expects me to have the baby with in the week. It's nuts how fast the time went. In just another couple of days i should have my little girl in my arms.

The bad news...

She noticed that my blood pressure was a little high again, so back to the clinic I went for a blood pressure obs.

I was on constant monitoring from the blood pressure machine. I was poked at and prodded again. A nurse midwife came in to do an ultrasound to check on the baby. She was checking on how much black space was around the baby. The baby was fine right now, but with increased time, the amount of space would be less and less. In that case, they would have to induce me. And with my blood pressure going up, delivery would be the best option.

Luckily, they let me go home after about three hours, but with strict instructions to call them back about any symptoms I was having.

Home at last. I just want to enjoy these last couple days of just being a duo (me and tai), but I can't wait to see my baby!
