I've been back to the hospital, this time for headaches. It seems my blood pressure is high---again. So, I'm creeping back toward preeclampsia/ PIH/HELLP or toxemia. It's all the same, no matter what you call it. Today my feet were all swollen, so that's another sign of being close to done.
The school hosted a baby shower for me and 2 other cute pg girls. They are each having their first babies, but they invited me, too. I told the ladies hosting I didn't need any gifts---cake was enough for my 4th baby!! Anyway, they DID get me presents, and that was SO NICE. The school gave me a gift card to walmart, and then I got some cute little outfits---which is great because I don't have tons and tons of clothes---With Asa, I borrowed some from Jen, some from Kristen, and some from Steph. I need to see what I still have down stairs!! LOL. I'll have to post a picture of the cake they had made for the shower. It stood 18 inches high and was 3 tiers in the shape of a baby bottle. It was like a cake from a comptetition---like an "Ace of Cakes" cake. It was very neat.
Jack is anxiously counting down the days until the baby is to be born. I'm counting down the days until I can quit working! My last day is October 4th. I think they are going to give Max steroids on October 5th, so since diabetics don't tolerate steroids well, I'll be off work after that. YAY!! I'm definitely NOT feeling my best. Either way, the date is fast approaching, and we're all getting excited. Asa climbs under my shirt at least twice a day and talks to Max. The other day, he banged on my belly and told Max to "Come out now!" Wait until he finds out Max is coming home a baby and not a playmate!
