38 weeks

Just to update everyone who hasn't heard. I went in for my weekly check up this morning and my blood pressure was up again. My doctor decided to admit me to the hospital and basically told me that we should expect to have a baby at the latest by Tuesday. John was in St. Louis (even though he wasn't supposed to be traveling) and I was by myself. She sent me home to pack my bag and then check into the hospital. It wasn't exactly how I had planned to have Kaley but I definitely want to keep both of us as healthy as possible.

I got to the hospital and they hooked me up to the fetal monitor as well as a blood pressure cuff that took my blood pressure every 15 minutes. They took a urine sample as well as blood to run some tests and I was there for what seemed like an eternity...After a few hours and getting my blood work back the doctor came to the hospital and told me that my pressure was staying down while I was in bed and my blood work looked good. She then gave me the choice of being on bed rest at home or at the hospital for the weekend. I definitely chose to go home! So now I am home after a very emotional day. I am only supposed to get up to potty so time is passing by VERY slowly. I go in first thing Monday morning to have her check me out again and we will see what happens from there. Depending on what she says I will either be induced next week or be on bed rest until I go into labor. Not too excited about the bed rest possibility but I want to do what is best for Kaley and myself so I will suck it up and do nothing.

We will keep you all posted about what is going on.
