Since I'm not yet in face punch mode...L&D update

Hi everyone, thanks for all of your well wishes!
So here's what happened:
I went in yesterday for my routine appointment. My bp was a little elevated (134/74 - it usually hangs out in the 120/60 range). I apparently had protein in my urine, and have gained 8 lbs. just this week after having gained literally nothing the entire pregnancy.
My doctor also told me that the labwork done on my liver was high normal, and that the bili salt results can take up to a week and a half to get. Because I'm still itching, how suddenly it came on, and how I describe the itching, she's 99.9% sure that I do have cholestasis.
She decided that because of these two things that it's no longer beneficial to keep me pregnant. Which I'm totally fine with.
DH and I showed up to the hospital last night at about 5 for the cervidil. The nurse just started the pitocin a few minutes ago, but I've been having fairly regular-ish contractions since last night.
DS doesn't seem to be affected by anything that's going on - he's just doing his thing.
Hopefully by sometime tonight, we'll have an outside baby! On the full moon, too.
And for those of you that remember my couch situation - we're getting the final piece today. While I'm in labor. I called that a month ago.
Edit: typo.
