Well, we are almost there people! Praise Jesus! It is looking like Tuesday could be the day. I went to my appointment last Tuesday and my blood pressure was high. Boo! Seriously thought I was out of the woods for the high blood pressure craziness this pregnancy! But NOPE! It landed me in triage to be monitored, where my mama met and sat with me for over an hour. All was well so they sent me home. I went back for a follow up appointment on Friday and sure enough, it was high again. BOO! They sent me to triage saying if it didn't go down they would induce me. This time I was all alone because Steve had Ellison and every one was at work or busy. I survived and the same thing happened. Everything came back normal and they sent me home. I'm on modified bed rest, whatever that means with a 2 year old. Trying to take it easy, but really wanting this labor to get started. I am at a 1 (have been for a couple weeks now) and about 70% effaced. I'm really wanting to go into labor on my own as I've been having inconsistent contractions for the last 2 weeks or so but I'm starting to think I'm just going to have to be induced on Tuesday. I will be 4 days away from my due date, and HOPEFULLY at a 2, so we need to get this party started! So ready to meet Emily Kate!
I forgot to update on my appointment last Tuesday besides my high blood pressure. I had a sonogram to check how big Miss Emily is at this point. They wanted me to do this from the beginning since Ellison came out so big without anyone suspecting it! Well, last Tuesday she was measuring 7lb 10oz and right on my due date. They usually grow about a half a pound a week so I'm assuming if they were correct that she will be just around 8lbs when she comes. I can handle that! Hahaha!
(I never finished this post!! ahh! I'm about to post about her birth story, only 8 months later! Ahh!!)
