Today's my due date. So far, nothing! I went to the doctor earlier this week and my blood pressure was slightly elevated. I think that if I was ok with being induced, they would have sent us to the hospital right then and there. Instead, I have been on bed rest since Tuesday night. I went back for another appointment on Wednesday. They did an ultrasound and everything looked good! I think this baby is going to have a lot of hair because we could see if floating in the fluid in the picture. I guess that must be why my heart burn has been so bad! They checked my blood pressure again and it had gone down! I also lost 4 pounds overnight. I guess I really did need to spend some time just laying around. I can almost see my ankles again!! My mom has been a wonderful help since all of this happened! She's been cooking and cleaning for us and bringing me whatever I need!
Jessyel is on official paternity leave today. I have very mixed feelings that we are both on leave from work and just sitting around with no baby. I really didn't want my leave to start until I had the baby. It's only been three days, which isn't so bad, but I hope she comes soon.
We go back to the doctor on Monday, and I have a feeling I will be induced. I really don't want to be induced since it most likely means I'll have to get an epidural and it increases the chances of a c-section. We'll see! Being on bed rest is not the greatest thing in the whole world, but a least I will be rested up for the big day when it finally arrives. I just hope it comes sooner than later!
