Hi Ladies!

I have been MIA also but I am back with news! No baby yet but I am having some blood pressure issues and have been in the hospital 3 times since Oct 22. I had a growth scan Fri 11/5 at 37 weeks and he was measuring 7lb 15oz! Hopefully it was off some but the dr said the tech that done it is usually right on. So fast forward to today at my appt I was dilated to 1 and have been since my 37 week appt. They have determined that without being able to regulate my bp that the next step would be to induce. They said with me being 39 weeks the main risk would be to me (higher risk of having a c-sec) than to the baby and my high bp is posing a bigger risk to him. They also said that if I stay pregnant for much longer I will have a bigger risk for c-sec than with induction because of his size.

So I am going in tomorrow at 3 pm to get my cervix softened in preparation for the induction on Wed. They said we will definetly have an outside baby by Wed. night! My SIL will most likely update on FB from her phone b/c we don't have internet access at the hospital. Anyone that I am friends with on there feel free to update here as well.

I will be back on as soon as possible as a new mommy, that still seems so unreal to me! YAY!
