I had a follow-up doctor's appt. today from the one on Tuesday. The doctor just wanted to check my blood-pressure again and make sure everything is a-ok. After checking it initially it was elevated and they had me lay on my left side (the usual procedure at this point) for a few minutes and they checked again. At that point it had gone down a bit. She said that I am responding well to bedrest, but I am to continue until the baby makes his/her appearance. The doctor also did a non-stress test and I was able to hear the baby's heartbeat for a good 15-20 minutes or so....that was great! The little one is doing just fine and my bloodwork came back good too. Overall, we are doing well! I am hoping and praying that I deliver next week for many reasons including:
-my mom will be up from MD
-my doctor is on-call
-I don't want to "waste" my leave time from work on time without my baby..I rather spend it getting to know our little one
That's it for the update! Thanks for all your emails, calls, thoughts, prayers, etc.
