Happy New Years

It is now New Years Day as I am typing this so HAPPY NEW YEAR! We are still counting down the days until induction and since it is now January 1st we only have 11 days at the most to go. I say at the most because we are trying to talk Dr. B into inducing me over the weekend sometime between the 9-11. At the latest it would be on Monday the 12th. I can finally see the end in sight but I still have faith in God that if he is supposed to come before the time for induction then he will be here early. The doctor came in earlier and said the urine test came back in the same level as the prior two have been and the toxemia panel went down yet again. Blood sugar levels have been all over the place. This morning before breakfast was 102 after breakfast was 103 after lunch was 175 (that was on their machine and was 120 on my machine) and after dinner was 87. I did have to eat something after dinner because they are still giving me 24 units of insulin after dinner and if I would not have eaten anything I would have quickly bottomed out.

As I have said since we have been here the nurses are just wonderful. Yesterday the day nurse brought us a gift. It was a little outfit, travel wipes and a bottle. Tonight the night nurse gave us a cute little outfit and a baby rattler. One of the other nurses gave us a refrigerator picture frame magnet the other day while she was working. I do have some news to report. The lady that has been in the room beside of me for a few weeks now had her baby either last night or this morning. She was due 2 weeks after me so it was a little discouraging that she was able to deliver a healthy baby before me but I know God has everything worked out in his plan. I didn't really do much of anything today. I slept most of the day because my blood sugar being low just made me feel bad. I did get a talking to from the nurse because i haven't been telling them when I start to feel bad I just go to sleep. Now I know I have to tell the nurses since it could be something related to the toxemia and not just the sugar level. I will try to get better at that I just hate to bother them.

Tonight Phillip and I didn't do much of anything. I did have to beat him twice at Phase 10 and he wasn't happy about that. While the ball was dropping we were bringing in the new year by having my blood pressure taken and playing cards. Not very romantic but could have been worse. Phillip starts back to work next week so I am not looking forward to that. Allison also starts back to work so I think I will be up here during the day by myself. I am sending Phillip tomorrow to get me some craft projects to do while they are all working. My wishes are that God will send the little one to us before Monday but I know that may not be his will. I will hold off until he is ready because I still do realize that sometimes we have our own time schedules that do not line up with his. I know everything will happen on his time line and not ours. Well, I am headed to bed but please continue to pray for us.
