37 weeks and... done?

37 Weeks... well I think thats as far as we're going. We came to the hospital yesterday for a non stress test and a 24 hr portien check, things look good {we haven't got the results yet from the protien} blood pressure is still a little high, blood work looks great and no signs of early labor, BUT the Dr wants to go ahead and deliver anyways. I'm still trying to figure that one out, but whatever. Either way our little watermellon will be here by tomorrow. I remember when I was calling her a little raspberry lol. Kasey is SO ready to be a dad and everyone is really excited, I'm still on the nervous/scared side because i'm not dialated at all so we'll have to cross our fingers and pray that the gel/pill thing they have works and we don't have to have a C-Section, that is my very last option and I will protest against it unless there is a concern for baby or me! 
For now, there are no complications and baby and me are doing great!! 
We'll try to keep everyone updated via the family calling tree and FB :) we do have our cell phones so you can reach us on there but if we don't write back right away hope you understand! 
As soon as babys here you can expect a picture! 

-Love 
Kasey & Ashlee!

Life = Stress

Today I am a mess. Emotionally I think I'm getting to a breaking point. Yesterday started off REALLY awful. I went to the Dr {because he missed my apt on Monday due to a delivery} and he wanted to check my blood pressure, my blood pressure was the same as its been and still no signs of Pre-E but he wanted to send me to the hospital anyways, I politelly told him no thank you so he is giving me the weekend and I go in for my normal visit again on Monday. He told me that way I would have the weekend to prepare for going to the hospital. Why someone would say that when your blood pressure is already high is unknown to me, I thought you wanted my blood pressure to go down doc, statements like that are NOT going to help. I was so frustrated and I'm obviously already emotional and after a few different conversations with people I lost it and was a complete and total wreck! I sucked it up and against all my doctors wishes I went and shot a wedding. It was nice to get out of the house for the day since I've been on bedrest for a few weeks now and whenever I go out shooting it helps make me feel better. I got home late and I went right to bed and slept like a rock. 
Today I've been laying on the couch all day trying to keep busy with crochet and netflix but its been really hard to keep my mind focused on anything. I keep thinking about being put in the hospital on Monday for my non stress tests and my Dr {that I still have mixed feelings about} trying to keep me there until baby is born, which will not work for me for many reasons, or him saying my blood pressure is to high and wanting to induce and me having a baby next week, which I am SO not ready for. Not mentally, emotionally, and definatlly not in the petty sense of having my house ready or of getting all the things done I want to before she comes. You know, the silly things like baby showers and maternity pictures, and lets not forget about all the decorations and things for her room! 
She needs to cook for a few more weeks anyways so she's big and strong and ready to come home! 
I don't need people to tell me that all that matters is whats best for baby and me, do you really think i'm that dumb or selfish?? I do want whats best for her, but that doesn't mean that my personallity is going to go out the window over night, I'm still OCD and I still worry about everything and I still want things to go to plan as much as possible. Obviously if thats not going to work out its not, but that doesn't mean that I can't still want things to go how I want them to.
