Went to the OB today. My blood pressure was a little high, so they sent me over to Labor and Delivery.
After a couple hours in Labor and Delivery at the hospital, blood taken, Cohen's heart rate checked, my contractions being monitored, and my blood pressure taken, they sent me home.
And put me on bed rest!
My blood pressure came down, but they want to be very careful since pre eclampsia is fairly common with first babies. My mom had it with me (her first baby), and while my doctor says that doesn't increase my chances, she still wants me to relax until the big day.
No more school for me this year. I officially am not allowed to work, do house chores, or anything else other than shower, eat, and sit around until Friday because.....
Friday is THE BIG DAY! We are meeting Dr. K. at 9:30 to see where we are dilation, effacement, and heart rate-wise then we're heading over to the hospital to be induced at 11!
Today I was 3 cm. dilated and 50% effaced. Cohen is still head-down and we're looking forward to meeting our little boy in just a few days!!!
We'll be making calls and sending out texts for when people can come visit us, but we aren't having anyone in during labor and probably not until a few hours after he's here just to get settled in and rested up a bit.
Can't wait!!
