date is set

so today we set the date to induce the lil guy at 39 weeks. I will go in Monday 11/23 at 6pm to have my cervix preped and spend the nightand Dr. G will start induction on Tuesday morning with pitocin. Hopefully we can start slow and he can be delivered Wed by Dr. D.

fingers crossed all goes well!

today we went in for my 37 week check with my OB. Seems my blood pressure was high and I had retained 5 pounds of fluid from the week before. So I was sent over to Labor and Deliver (jeesh) for some tests. They did an ultrasound to check the fluids around the baby, did 30 minutes of him on a HR monitor and monitored my BP for 1 hour. They took some blood for platelet count and liver function. Those came back OK so he decided to put me on some meds to try and bring the BP down. I go back for observation friday. So fingers are crossed for him to cook a couple more weeks. Plus OB put me on 'limited activity' which means couch chilling until further notice. Poo!
