Yesterday...

I had my 38 week appointment yesterday to find out that I am now 3 cm and 80% effaced. Dr Nix offered to induce but I put it off. I've had some headaches the last few days which is unusual for me, my swelling has been a little worse and then the temporary nurse at the dr must've misread my blood pressure because it was much higher than usual. So the doctor sent me to be monitored at the hospital for a few hours. They took my blood pressure at the hospital and it was totally normal every single time they took it for the 2 hours I was there. What an expensive visit to just have a machine take my bp every 10 minutes and monitor baby's heart- $300! But better to be safe than sorry right?

Dr. Nix is having me come back in tomorrow for another check, so we'll see what happens. Jarom and everyone else wants me to induce but I still have things that need to be done so I'll probably put it off again if I can! I got almost all of my errands run today but still don't have the baby stuff out of storage yet (bassinet, clothes, tub, etc). I do have the car seat now professionally installed, the swing and bouncy chair ready to go, and enough outfits for a few days, so I guess I can make do if I have to, but would really love having everything ready and waiting for our little one! If I were to go ahead and have Livy tomorrow she'd have her birthday on the 22nd like mine (June 22) and Katie's (Nov 22)... fun!
