Today is my official due date and I'm STILL pregnant. I never thought that this little man would stay in here this long, especially since Hunter was born a couple of weeks early. We had a very exciting weekend, so we are actually glad Landon hung in there through the weekend, but now we are ready to see him. If you haven't heard, Hunter was in the hospital all weekend. He came home from camp on Fri with his scrotum very swollen and red. We were just going to take him to urgent care, but the doctor recommended that we go ahead and go down to the er. They thought he may have had torsion (where the vessels twist on themselves and it required immediate surgery to fix.) They got us seen very quickly, to find out that it was NOT torsion, but a bug bite that got infected. We were very happy it wasn't anything more serious. We just thought we would be given some antibiotics and be sent on our way home...but instead the doc wanted to keep him overnight to make sure he responded well to the meds (due to the big MRSA that's going around, they wanted to make sure he would get better.) So Friday night we all stayed and didn't get much sleep at all. The doctor came in on Sat to check everything out. We were hoping to get home Sat, but she wanted him to stay just one more night to make sure it got even better. So Saturday night, Jim stayed with Hunter and sent me home to get some rest just in case Landon decided to arrive at any time. Finally, Sun afternoon the doctor released us and sent us home!!! Hunter was going a little stir crazy and was so ready to be home! He is on antibiotics for the next few days and is doing GREAT!!!
So last night once things started to finally settle down, I realized Landon really wasn't moving around very much. I finally called the doctor and she said to drink a large glass of oj with ice, lay down for an hour and call back if you don't feel him move about 10 times in that hour. Well, in that hour he moved around 6 times, but not very good movements. I called her back and she said come on down to the hospital. We got Hunter over to our neighbors and headed to the hospital. We thought after all the stress of the weekend, it was stressing Landon out and it was his time to come out. Well, we got different news when we arrived at the hospital. My doctor was at the hospital and came in and checked me. I have not changed from the 2 cm that I was on Thur. Plus she said that my cervix is still very far back. She said she would go ahead and induce me, but there would be a very good chance I would end up with a c-section. Sowe decided to wait, all and all she said walk a lot and have them recheck me on Tues. Hopefully I'll change some how. She said then on Wed she will induce if I want her to.
So that's been our CRAZY weekend. We have been out walking today and are hoping for some good news tomorrow at the doctors. We'll keep everyone posted. Sorry for such a long blog, but wanted to inform everyone of the news! Wish us luck!!!
