Follow up from previous post:

Update: On my way home. Blood pressure down, test results good. I have to schedule a dr appointment on Wed to check my blood pressure, IF high he will induce then. The hospital have 3 inductions scheduled for Thursday, so unless one of those mommy's have their baby early, I won't have her on that day. So then Friday it will be, unless bp is high Wed. So we are a little up in the air as far as the day, but this week for sure. Thanks for all your prayers! :)

Update: 37 weeks 4 days

Update from Dr. Visit:

Blood pressure really high, gained 5lbs in a week. Heading to the hospital for test, if anything is wrong ( we are praying it's NOT) he will induce "today", if all is well, then he will induce ""Thursday" so either way..I'm having a baby this week! Please pray for us right now! Thank you! XO♥

Letter to Channing...

Dear Sweet Channing,

I can't wait to hear you cry for the 1st time, count your little fingers & toes, see how much you weigh, just kiss your little feet, & just hold you close! It's not long now before we will see

each other, & my life will forever be changed again!! I love you sweet baby girl!!

Update: April 9th

Update: Still no change. Another appointment next Monday, he said if anything changes, then he might have me come back on Wed or Thurs & break my water. I will be closer to 38 weeks & he doesn't want to induce before then. So still waiting. Please pray for me today, just need it! XO♥

Update: April 5th

I am a little behind posting updates. This blog is mainly for Channing, it's her baby book, that I will have printed.

Hospital trip again, contractions. Sent home after a few hours. Received a shot in the arm for my pain, medicine made me really sick. :(

All worth it in the end! :)

Update: 35 weeks 4 days

Update: I am still 2 1/2 cm dilated. Blood pressure was lower, still swelling. He basically can't give me an "actual" date, but says I'm very close. He told me to come back on Monday, but thinks he'll be meeting me at the hospital 1st, due to all the hard contractions I have had the last 3 days. So now all I can do is wait....!! He also said, " I hope for your sake its soon, I can tell you are in pain." I am still on bedrest.

Now, we are all just waiting...!! I am hoping tomorrow...really...I am.

I will be calling my doctor in the morning and will ask if I can be more active, maybe that will help,
