Today we had a non-stress test for Cole, which he passed with flying colors. Our little boy is being so good already. Then our doctors appointment followed that. My blood pressure once again was the topic of conversation. When it was first taken it was 151/120, they had me sit and "calm" down for a while and it dropped to 148/110. After the dr. cam in and talked to me he made me lay down for another 10 minutes and took it while i was laying down and still with NO distractions. It had lowered to 148/101. He said the problem with that is that it was still to high even under the best circumstances. He wasn't happy so he upped my blood pressure medicine and wants to see me again Monday. On Monday we will check Cole again, see if I have dilated at all, and if my blood pressure has not gone down between now and then we will have to take action. So, considering that I am going to be with Jacob all weekend (and we know what effect he has on my blood pressure) I am guessing induction will be started Monday evening and hopefully our little boy will be here Tuesday. However if my blood pressure goes down we will see him a little later. I get so excited just to think about getting to see him. I can't believe the time has finally come. I do want him to be ready to come into this world so we are going to do what the doctor says, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't want to meet him as soon as possible.
