And we are waiting...

Well the Dr. wasn't going to see me until Wed..and she called this morning and was like I need you to come in..So, I went in my blood pressure was 160/100..so I had to rest and it finally dropped back down to 140/90 which is yes still high..I have gestational hypertension..which means at this time I do not have preeclampsia..however I am going to be closely monitored b/c it could develop at anytime. I will have appointments twice a week and do 24 hour urine tests and labs again. I did get an ultrasound today and Jack is doing great! He was weighing in at 6 pounds 15 ounces..and she said he was perfect ;) No more dilation still at 1cm but she said things were def. progressing since last week..so that is good! She wants me to try and make it until 39 weeks..which would put him being born on Oct.30 (yes I am smiling..I may get my Halloween baby after all!!!!) but if things don't shape up with me being on bed rest or if preeclampsia shows up he will be taken immediately. So please keep praying for us, it's crazy to think that anyday now I am going to be a mom!! Michael is ready too..he was ready like 2 weeks ago! I will keep you updated!

Good luck to you and Jack. I hope he arrives safely in a few weeks. Are you still on bed rest?
