Default Kinda shocked!

Well, I went to the doctor yesterday. You guys know my continuing saga with the blood pressure and everything, and I think I mentioned going to the doctor Tuesday and everything to check on things. I was dialated to 1cm then, and they put me on bedrest (still allowing showers and bathroom, but nothing more than that).

Today I had a doctor's appointment, and got a new update!

I'm dialated to 2cm now, which isn't much more than the other day. The doctor said the BP is still a little high (she said my bottom number is the lowest it can be to still be considered high, but it still counts). Had my number been 92 instead of 90, she would have taken him Sunday or Monday, but since it's still hanging around 90, she wants to deliver within the next 3 weeks!

They're giving me 2 appointments next week. The first one (Monday) is for blood pressure and a non-stress test on the baby. The second one is actually seeing the doctor.

HOWEVER, if Monday I go in and my BP is pretty high, then they'll be delivering him early. Otherwise, they'll decide a little more Thursday.

In other words, he could be here as early as the 11th, or as late as the 23rd... eek! Getting closer!!!

That's so exciting Jenni, it won't be too much longer and you'll be holding your sweet lil' guy!

We have lots of new babies coming into our family soon...my BIL and his girlfriend are due 7/19 with my nephew, my stepbrother and his wife are due in early August with another nephew and then my brother and his girlfriend are due with my niece in October so I'm excited for all these new babies (and to take lots of newborn photos too)!

Praying that the blood pressure stays down and that baby can bake a bit longer!!! Being the mommy of early babies sucks...even if it is just a few weeks!!!

You're going through pretty much the exact same thing that happened with my first DS! He was delivered at 37weeks 3days and everything turned out just fine Rest as much as you can! Thinking of you!

Awesome As long as he turned out fine, then I feel a lot better about it! I'm resting as much as possible! Hopefully it helps.

How are YOU doing, missy? I haven't gotten to ask you that recently!

Yes he turned out perfect No complications for either of us besides him having jaundice, but that was because we were having nursing issues.

I'm doing well, thank you! Contracting quite a bit, just waiting for them to become more regular! Good news for you that my dr told me is if you have bp issues with your first, they usually get better with later pregnancies, which seems to be true because I haven't had any issues with mine at all this time around. So hopefully it will be the same with you for your future babies

I'm so excited for you!!! Hopefully your labor and delivery go wonderfully!!! I can't wait to see photos or hear an update on your little one!

And I'm looking forward to the possibility of less issues with the BP the second time around, whenever that happens to be!
