After getting my b/p check(which was higher than Wednesday), given them my 3000 ml of urine sample (not a fun experience), and getting my blood drawn(what little she could get) I‘m not a happy camper!!. So since the bp was high they want me to check it twice a day over the weekend and if it continues at this rate we will have a baby this weekend. Plus Dr. J will be on call this weekend. That’s kind of a plus. My feet and hands look like a 300 pound persons feet and hands. Well I was crying on the way to the dr office because I got mad at them for stopping my baby from coming now they are talking about inducing me! He would have been a month tomorrow. If they would have just listen to me!!! Now I may have this preeclamesia crap!! So now I’m walking around with this huge kid inside me plus health issue. I can’t breath sometimes, my heart is beating irregular, my weight is through the roof, and I’m getting depress! On top of all of that we get in to a minor finder binder. I’m like come on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But we did make it to Target because I just felt like I need to get a couple more things. The only thing that I’m missing that I feel like I really need is the video baby monitor. I may go to baby r us to get that!
Well continue to pray for me because I keep going to the bathroom and with a side of nausea! I just want my BABY>>>>>>>>>>>>
One love...

100% effaced YEAH! Baby love,
Okay I am 100% effaced and going into 2 cm. They say for first time mothers that you efface first then dilated. So Dr. J said it could be any day now but if not in a couple weeks he has no choice but to come out. O yeah baby love is not six pounds more like 7 ½! Plus I have the pleasures of doing the 24 hour pee pee test to see if I have preeclampsia. B/c I’m swollen, bp was kind of high, and I keep gain 4 to five pds a week these last three weeks. I’m like fluids my eye! Plus I kept having dreams this morning that I gave birth. I’m like I guess I miss my mucus plug. I really wanted to see how that thing look. But I had a dream I lost it two days ago. Any who I have mix emotions about labor. But I know that for my sanity and the overwhelming feeling I have to hold my child. I’m ready more that scared. Now this is me talking before I feel the pains of real contractions! LOL So I guess I'll go and pray for more strength to get this big old baby out of me. Also that they’re no complications. I don’t want a c-sections I never even thought of having one. Dr J did say that I could push out a 7 ½ pound kid but we would have to see about any thing bigger. I’m like I have no intentions of having a 8 pounder! Haha My baby love would never hear the end of that one! Ha Come on BABY!!!!!!!!
One LOVE….

Pain, sleepy, tired, & more pain Baby Love,
My woes:
For the last couples of nights I have been having the most pain I have felt in this pregnancy. It started with my pubic bone and you on it! You would not get off of it and it felt like my hip was being separated by your head. Then back pain came which brought on contraction which followed by thigh aches. I'm telling you this was so bad that D heard me mooing in his sleep. He woke me up and BAM that's when I felt everything at once. I’m like why did you wake me up. He was like I was mooing so loud that the neighbors should have heard me. I kind of felt the pain in my sleep but I just wanted to sleep. So needless to say for the last 48 hours I have not slept that much. I was crying so much last night because I didn’t know what else to do! After four hours of this crap I took some meds and prayed my way to sleep.
I mean they tell you to get your rest in now but I’m like how do you do that? REALLY HOW? Because I would really like to know! You can’t really eat without getting nausea or heartburn. You can't really walk because of your leg and pubic pain. You stand to long and your back hurts. You can’t sleep because you pee all the time and your hurting most nights. You can’t sit because that's uncomfortable and then you can’t get up once your in a chair! HOW DO YOU REST? Then once you're up your mind is going over load on when is this kid coming out of me, am I going to be a good mother, what else do I need to do to get ready for your arrival, what bill is coming in the mail now, I'm so tired but I need to finish cleaning this house, and of course can I really go through all that pain when active labor starts! I mean and that’s just the basic of what goes on in my mind. Don’t get me wrong I’ve been praying, reading the word, and singing. But I still feel like I’m not up for this next step in my life. I know no matter what I want my child out of my body! He is soooo heavy! I mean who knew that mother hood would being like this. Well for those that are reading this I had to vent!!!!!!!! My next dr. appt is tomorrow and I won’t be surprise if they say I’m still 1cm. But who cares right. Baby love will come when he is suppose to! I just wish they would have never stop my labor. He was big enough to come out and they did gave me the shot to make sure his lungs were ready. Now I just feel like he is stuck in my pubic bone. N.R. Edwards come out of me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
One love…

It's on like POPCorn! Baby Love,
This has been a busy weekend for a Prego any way. But what I want to share is your u/s! You are almost if not 6 pounds!!!! I saw your umbilical cord where we are contacted and that was a beautiful sight. I was thinking to myself what the heck is that? And it was like the tech heard my thoughts and pointed out that it was your umbilical cord. I saw you move your mouth and your have a plump tummy…. Also I saw your heart again and it look strong and health. Plus your arms are a nice size for you to be close to six pds or just right at six pounds. But you know what was the most amazing thing I saw…….? You BREATHING! That’s right you are doing what they call practice breathing in the womb. O man your mama almost lost it but I did not cry. I just told you to flip over(your still sunnyside up) And to come out of course! All in all I'm glad that we went plus we had free parking since it was on the weekend. Also I saw that mommy does have a lot of fluid in her tummy but it’s not harmful to you or me. So I guess this would explain why I’m so huge in that area!!
Well this week is the big week. I believe by faith and not by sight that you will make a grand entrance this week. Plus it will be a month since you tried to come on your own. I'm doing my part to help you come down. I live on this birth ball, I talk to you and let you know it's okay to come out, and a sister is praying really hard that you will come on down! I guess I’m having too much fun on my birth ball because your father tried to cook with it this morning. I’m like scream at him to get my ball off of this floor and get off of it! He saw me do my hair on it yesterday and I even showered with it. Shoot it is hard to stand for too long. My ankles get all puffy, my legs get weak, and my back starts to kill me. So I need this thing. It’s better than the snoogles pillow, greater than the belly belt, and it even relives back pain more than my crocs. So as you can see baby love the further you get in pregnancy the more pains you have! It’s not easy doing this but I try my best to do it!
We stop by my mama’s house before church today. And your grandmother and father were talking about your siblings like I wasn’t even there. They know that I don’t like that talk! I'm just trying to push you out and raise you to be a great man of valor! Shoot give me a minute to breath and take care of you before you talk about not one but two more kids! My mama was like you still want more after dealing with Shemekka. And of course he said yes his reward of dealing with me is his son. I’m like ya’ll both suck….(I thought it I didn’t say that to my mother) I’m not that bad! I mean I do have my moments but shoot so do they! And they are not pregnant!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Any way I guess I'll get back to my bouncing and then maybe my water will break or I will at least dilated to 4! YOU GUYS seriously be in agreement with me and pray this kid out of me. I’m ready to hold my little KING!
One Love…
P.S. Since your daddy doesn't want to stay off of my birth ball. I started putting some of my stuff on is side of the closet. He hates that b/c that his side he says. I just remind him that it's not your side it's ours. WE ARE ONE!(It's on like pop corn) Stay off my ball black boy..............................
I just want my BABY>>>>>>>>>>>>
You would not get off of it and it felt like my hip was being separated by your head. Then back pain came which brought on contraction which followed by thigh aches. I'm telling you this was so bad that D heard me mooing in his sleep. He woke me up and BAM that's when I felt everything at once. I’m like why did you wake me up.
