37 Weeks!

I'm full-term this week! At this point, all I think about is this new baby. I can't wait to meet him/her! My blood pressure has been staying pretty high the last few weeks, and Dr. Sweeney has me check it at home twice a day.

Last week (picture above) she was hinting around at putting me on either bed rest or cutting work back to part-time. And, she told me to "take it easy" which made me laugh. She had me come in for another sonogram and some stress tests to make sure the high blood pressure was just that and not hypertension or pre-eclampsia.

Turns out, all is OK. Baby is growing normally (about 6 pounds, 12 ounces) and fluid levels look good. I'm dilated to a 1 and 60% effaced already, so he/she might come early!
