Spring is here... baby stays put for now...

My OB appointment today went well. BP was down a bit... 140/87 - and I had a Non-Stress Test... which was reactive. So, basically, everything is good... and I go back Monday. I'm thinking I will have to go 2-3 times a week now, just to make sure my blood pressure is behaving.

I do still think this baby will end up having a March birthday... but maybe I'm just being hopeful. I am ready to meet her, and not be pregnant any longer than absolutely necessary. It sounds like induction is off the table for now... so let's hope all these crazy BH contractions are doing something.... something besides annoying the crap out of me, and making it hard to sleep. I guess I'll be checked for progress on that Monday as well.

As for Travis... I think he's finally recovered from this last round of ickiness... and the bad attitude/whine-fest/emo-ness that came along with it. He's still not wanting to eat very much, at ALL... but I guess the kid won't starve... right?

So, barring anything unexpected... we should have a nice, mostly quiet weekend with family... Saturday, we're taking Travis to the city-wide Easter Egg Hunt, and probably heading over to some friends for an afternoon BBQ. Then, Sunday, we go to Jeff's Grandma's for Easter... with uncles, cousins, etc.

It should be nice... except for the faux-grief I'm going to get from Jeff's Uncle Steve for not bringing my carrot cake. Seriously... it's like crack - but I am NOT baking a cake right now. As good as EATING it sounds.... MAKING it is a pain-in-my-ass... and I already have one of those right now. Oh, and in my back, and legs, and cervix, and.... you know.... everywhere.

Ready for blast-off!

Dunno what it was that worked... the hoping, praying, acupuncture, chiropractic treatments... but something did. Miss Ashley is now head down, and engaged in my pelvis. Which also explains why my pelvis has been killing me the last two days! :)

My blood pressure read high today... 145/95 - so I am going back to be checked again Thursday...

My doctor did say specifically he'd like to NOT have to induce me... but it may not be possible... we'll just have to wait and see. When my bp got to 150/110 with Travis he did induce... it was only 4 days early... and I'm only at 37 weeks right now... but, again... we'll just have to wait and see.

I'm supposed to "stay down as much as possible" and "rest". Errr. Right. I am a stay at home mom of a 3-year-old. That's really gonna happen.

We really need to set up the co-sleeper for the baby, and wash some of her clothes as well as pack a hospital bag, though.

Anyway... cross fingers for us! :)
