I went for my regular appointment today and it went just as I expected. My blood pressure was up so off to labor & delivery I went for another non-stress test. (I didn't gain any weight this week, so at least there is that to be happy about.) My blood pressure was 160/99 at the doctor's office, and while it was still up at the hospital, it went down a significant amount. My last reading after about 2 hrs on the monitor was good, 136/74ish. It's amazing how much it went down once Daniel surprised me with his presence. =) I think that one read after the nurse had already contacted my midwife, though, so she never got that positive news. Because my pelvis is narrow and my cervix is unfavorable (or at least I think that is what she said. There was so much information thrown at me at once), I will be having a c-section. I could demand going into labor, but who wants to risk being in labor 20+ hours and then still have to have a c-section. Not this chick! I go back to the doctor on Monday, April 1st, and I'm pretty sure I'll be put on the books for Wednesday, April 3, 2013.

(Only 9 more days, Oh My Gah!)
Our bags are packed and we are ready to go, but
I am worried about our sweet John McRae and how he is going to take all of this in once his baby sister finally arrives. While I'm over the moon excited to welcome home our baby girl, I worry about his sweet little heart and him no longer being our only child. That's a lot for a spoiled rotten, center of attention, aka The Boss, to deal with. He made us parents almost 3 years ago and we never want him to feel like anyone is going to take his place, ever.
Prayers please for Daniel, John McRae, Sadie and I as we will soon begin our new journey as a family of four!
XOXO,
Stacy
