Tuesday 40w6d - One day till induction

Monday wasn't that good of a day. My feet turned purple and the biggest they have gotten for the entire pregnancy and started to feel a headache coming on (third time in a few days). And my hands were bad as well. So around 8pm I called L&D because I thought this was it and I have PreExclampsia, which is basically means that its bad for my heart and may kill my unborn child. I also though since my lower left side around my kidney area hurt, it was something not to take lightly as well. My out put was not matching my input of water. So they told me to come in and Hubby and I went off with the baby items to KP L&D. When we got there we had to go in the ER entrance which made me a tad upset because I couldn't walk into the main hospital because they close it down for the evenings and hubby had gone to park, not far away as I found out, I thought I was going to walk to the ER alone but Hubby parked a few seconds away so I caught up with him as I was walking to the ER entrance. Huffing up the hill I made it and was placed in one of the new wheelchairs they had and was promptly escorted to the L&D floor and was checked in. After changing, getting the wrist band, asked a bunch of questions about H1N1 and other items I was hooked up to the monitor and relaxed as the swishing of Bump's heart beat was going steady around the 140's. I got scared a few times when it either went up to 180's and the lowest was around 120's. Had to talk with bumpy about not going too low or going too high because it wouldn't make an impressive story to go into the baby book of how it was born. I got blood drawn and had to pee in a cup, but it was for the good of me and Bumpy so I lived through it. Hubby was trying to take cat naps off and on, but he found it really hard to get comfy but he said it was better than the stool he had the last time. Other than that I got a few naps here and there and was told at 2:30 am to call on Wednesday for my induction appointment. Signed the paper and went on my way. We got to the ER entrance and I remembered they never gave me my hospital card back, so we went back up to the L&D floor and had a nurse come to us and give the card back to me.
At around 3:30am finally got home and to save Hubby from getting up to feed the kitties in an hour I fed them their breakfast a bit early and then both of us went to sleep. Around 4:30 am the older cat Puma, started to bang around wanting hubby to get up, but since I had the most "sleep" under my eyes I decided to get up and move to the living room so hubby could sleep some more. That didn't work and hubby ended up asking me back to the bedroom and I passed out by then.
After we got up, we went out to eat breakfast and looked at the "Cube" which is a car made by Nissan. It actually was more roomy than either of us thought it would be. Hubby has been bitten by the new car bug as well because he wants to see what's out there and also he's been worried about some of the squeaks that the only car we have is making now. So I am going to put in my cents but I can not make the final decision for him. The final decision I need to make is what Toyota I want is. I have gotten it down to three. Vensa, Prius and the Rav4.
