Today at my weekly ob appointment my doc put me on 'bed rest'--basically said I don't need to be working anymore and need to rest until the baby comes. Sooo, I packed up all my stuff, called HR/benefits and said Adios to my coworkers. It's a great feeling!! Even though I'm scheduled for my induction next Thursday it will still be nice to relax, get rest and prepare for our baby girl! I'm honestly glad I lasted this long and didn't go out any sooner!
My bp was high again at the doc appointment so I'm scheduled to go back in on Monday morning (and continue to keep the log this weekend.
I have progressed! I'm dilated 3cm and 75% effaced!! He could feel the baby's head last week--so she is already very low!!!! (I have tons of pressure so it only makes sense!)
He did say that he's sending my orders to the hospital today 'in case something happens this weekend!' GULp!!! I have a feeling she'll still come Thursday though... We'll see.
My brother & fam leave this weekend--they've been here for 2 weeks and its been lots of fun! Yesterday we went to our local Pumpkin patch. It was lots of fun. The kids loved the hay ride but Asher was terrified of the 'petting zoo'. Whoops! Lol! We each got to take home a pumpkin so now we have those on our front porch! Yay! Mike is getting down the 'fall' decor this weekend! I can't wait! And the high tomorrow is supposed to be in the 50s!!! Wow--dropping 30 degrees from today!!!




I can't believe this time next week she'll be here! I'm sure it will be nice to have a few extra days to rest before going into labor. I'll be praying for you as you get ready to go! I'm so excited to see pics and hear how everything goes. Blessings!
