We are getting VERY close to meeting our new little one! We had another doctor's appointment yesterday and found our suspicions from this week were confirmed. I have a mild case (right now) of pre-eclampsia with significant swelling, proteins in my urine, and high blood pressure. Because of this, baby will be born this weekend, or Tuesday morning I will be induced. The risk is just too great to both of us to let us go longer than that. We will be 39 weeks on Tuesday, so baby is definitely ready and ok to come and meet the outside world!!
Our doctor tried to help get the process started a little bit more yesterday during my appointment and the contractions have kicked in harder since then, although we were happy to hear that I had progressed more on my own over the last week too. Phil and I will be going for some walks today and see what happens. It's just nice to know that one way or another, we will be holding a baby at some point on Tuesday! It's been a long wait over the last 6 weeks of contractions, bed rest, and all the unknowns! It also helped us with the unknown of whether or not we would be starting school. It is sad to say that we will not be, but are thankful we made it through Meet and Greet and to finalize those last minute things in our rooms.
The next post will be a baby announcement and we can't wait! Please keep us in your prayers as we transition from the waiting and anticipation stage, to the parent stage of our life!
