It's hard to believe but I finally made it to full term (37 weeks)! I hit that mark last Thursday, so now I'm actually almost 38 weeks. But it's pretty exciting. With my blood pressure being up, I actually had a nervous day on Friday. They had me come back for a BP check and ended up sending me to the hospital to make sure everything was normal. They did two blood draws total and did a NST (non-stress test) to check baby's heart rate for a length of time and everything was mostly fine. Today I went back for a normal appointment and my BP is still a little higher than it has been but it was down from last week and I'm in a good range. Everything else is normal... yay! I also had my cervix checked and I'm only 0.5cm dilated, which Dr. Lown says means that there will likely be no baby this week. Sad! She's getting too close to Christmas (which he will not be available for so I hope she doesn't pick her due date to show up!) but that's too bad ;) I'm still super nervous about the delivery and everything, but it'll be awesome to finally meet her. And maybe by then we can actually give her a name :)
