I just got back from the doctor's office not too long ago, and I finally have some good news. We're having a baby this weekend! My blood pressure was high again, and after some testing and whatnot, the doctor said I would either get admitted today (depending on the results of more tests at the hospital), or I'd go in on Thursday afternoon for induction.
My testing at the hospital went well, everything came back fine, and the doctor said to schedule me for Thursday!
So the plan is to go in Thursday afternoon, they'll begin the preparations for the induction. Basically they'll try and get me to start stretching in the appropriate place... I'd go into more detail, but that's a little too much for my blog. 'nuff said. Then Friday morning they'll start a Pitocin drip to get things moving, and hopefully the baby will come sometime Friday.
So I'm feeling pretty good, a little nervous, but excited mostly. Considering the fact that Will's birthday is on Monday, I told him he's not getting any presents except for a baby. I figure I've put more work into this present than anything else I'll ever give him! :) Hopefully the next time I post I will be including pictures of our new baby. Keep your fingers crossed that everything will go alright!
