So I Just Noticed

...my face really is swollen from the picture I took this morning. I woke up feeling swollen. This isn't a good sign.

I weighed first-thing and found I gained 3.5 lbs overnight. And that's literally overnight because I weighed myself late last night as I was cleaning the Guest Bathroom.

God, please keep my blood pressure down.

I haven't really done a good job of weighing myself each morning because I like to think positive, "You get what you expect." Of course, some people may call this denial.

God, please no more protein in my urine.

I also had a panging headache first thing which is another symptom, but again I keep telling myself to think positive. Because if I worry about it, it won't do me any good. Sometimes it's just tough to not worry. One month ago when I was starting to really show signs of Toxemia (blood pressure continuing to rise, swelling, rapid weight gain, trace amounts of protein in my urine), I made sure to sleep at least half the day away. And it seemed to work. Maybe I'm overdoing things now in preparation for Mason getting here.

God, please don't let this become Toxemia.

I recognize how blessed I am having had an "easy" pregnancy. It's just been since December, I've had PIH and signs of developing Toxemia looming over me. I'm ready for it to go away.

God, you've blessed me with going full term with Mason. Thank You.

Well, the "cure" is 5 days away anyhow...let's just get Baby Mason out safely!

Girl, did you call your doctor? I would get in there just to check things! That is scary.
