"All my bags are packed & I'm ready to go..."



hello all! I'm doing well! I was at the doctor for 2 hours today and even though my blood pressure was lower than it has been, they still want me laying down and taking it easy...(fine with ME!) I saw Dr. Logan today (i really like her--she's very nice) and she put me on a fetal monitor to check the stress, heartbeat and movement of the baby and it also measures any contractions. He was hiding in there and it was hard to get a steady beat for like 20 mins. Then they hooked me up to a newer machine and he liked that one a lot better =) I am also 70% effaced and almost ONE CENTIMETER! whoo-hoo!! (hey, it's progress people!) She said if my blood pressure spikes again they can take the baby by c-section but obviously, if our health is fine, they want me to dilate on my own and if need be, induce then. Basically it just depends on my #s and if its putting any stress on him. Isaac, not Matt =) Matt has been such a FABULOUS HUSBAND though i must say! He is so attentive and caring and I truly appreciate all he does...enough brownine points for now...ohhh brownies, yuuuuum...

Keep us in your prayers! I have a bp monitor at home my in-laws let me borrow and if my counts are low, I may go to church on Sunday--Otherwise, we will be MIA...Have a great weekend!

You are in my prayers! I'm sure everyone is telling you to take advantage of the resting! Soon you shall be very very busy. If you are bored and taking visitors, let me know. I'll bring you a cola slushy! =o)
