The Latest...............

Yesterday was the day to go back in to the doctor to check up on the baby and on the blood pressure issue. Unfortunately, blood pressure was sky rocketing 196/101!!!!!!!!!!! Yikes!!!!!!!!! Needless to say, they sent me right over to the hospital for the non stress test and, once again, baby was doing just fine and after 3 hours on the monitor the blood pressure finally came down, way down 113/50!!! How's that for recovery!!!! I am dialated to a 2 and having contractions every 7 minutes or so!!!! Baby is definately ready to come and meet the family!!

So the bottom line is this............they sent me home from the hospital on my own recognisance to rest and relax and lay low until Monday morning at 6AM when they will induce labor and we will have the baby sometime Monday afternoon!! WHEW!!!!!!!!! Good thing I went through my nesting stage about 3 weeks ago and everything is ready and prepared and we are anxious to meet our new little bundle of love!!!!!! So that's the story!!! We will keep posting until Monday and then hopefully we will be able to post pictures of the new baby sometime Monday evening or Tuesday depending on how things go!!!! Thanks for all your prayers.

Lovebug Hugs,
Lori
