I'm being admitted!!!

I'll just cut and paste the e-mail I sent out since I have to go and pack for my "Admittance" tomorrow morning... yippee!

I'm currently at 36 weeks and 5 days (but who's counting!)

My "little" man is growing quickly... he's about 7 pounds now!
I'd like to know who served the growth hormones with the turkey this Christmas?! ;)

He's doing very well and has once again been given an 8/8 on his health and well being. He kicks, rolls and punches and reacts to sounds. Especially his Daddy's voice and the song "Stealing Kisses" by Faith Hill (although Dave insists it's me singing the song).
From all the tests we've had done, he is doing very well and we couldn't be happier!

Me on the other hand, I'm not so lucky.
It seems I've developed something called Cholestasis of Pregnancy, which means my liver isn't processing all my bile salts properly along with the baby's extra stuff and it's making me itchier than anything... lovely!
It can be a serious condition, but since I'm being monitored so closely, it's no biggie... everything is fine.

My blood pressure is also still high-ish... but not consistently at the same area.
Today I got really upset about the baby (before I knew how well he was doing) and I jacked it RIGHT up... so I'm being admitted to the hospital for the next little while.
It might be for a few days, or it might be until the baby comes, we're not sure.

My doctor figures I'll be induced somewhere in the next 2 weeks... she wants to hold out until 38 weeks, but again we have to wait and see how everything is going and how the rest of my tests come back. Still waiting on some.
I'll be going for another ultrasound in a couple of days as well.

So wish me luck everyone... I'm "going to the spa" - hahaha! I wish!

Who knows, maybe the next time I post I'll be hold my little guy in my arms, versus inside my tummy.
