Heather and I spent the late afternoon, and early evening at labor and delivery last night. We went to the OB's office to have Heather all checked out again. Heather's blood pressure was little high so she laid on her side for a few minutes. After a few more minutes they checked her blood pressure again and it had gone up a little bit. So, the baby decided to raise Heather's blood pressure and so we were sent us to the hospital.
We met a wonderful nurse at the hospital who took wonderful care of Heather. So we sat there for a couple hours while they did a non-stress test on Heather and the baby. Every once in a while her blood pressure cuff would go off. It was nice just spending some time together.
That LB decided to get me all excited about meeting us, and then our little blessing allowed Heather's blood pressure to go back down, so the doctor sent us home. No baby for us, yet. We did get some nice Braxton Hicks contractions to watch on the monitor, so that was exciting. Suffice it to say, I'm really really excited about the baby coming and can not wait to meet the baby.
So Heather and I are resting peacefully in the bedroom watching season 3 of the office. It's a lot of fun just getting to hang out.
Note: LB is a term of endearment & respect in my family.

Isn't it cool to hang out and listen to the monitors and stuff? I'm glad everything worked out ok. Give her lots of love and encouragement and spend as much time with her as you can. Bed rest is a lonely thing.
