Baby time

Well, things were going so smoothly this pregnancy until this week. Wednesday night, I was up most of the night with contractions, headache, nausea. I thought it was just me being uncomfortable in my pregnancy, but I took my blood pressure and sure enough, it was 146/92. This is exactly how I felt when I got sick with Jake, so I put a call into the Dr office and they had me come into the office. When I got there, my blood pressure was still elevated. They wanted to make sure the baby was doing fine, so I had an ultrasound and he looked great. They also did bloodwork on me to make sure I didn't have pre-eclampsia already. The bloodwork came back Thursday night and everything was fine, but they had me come back in Friday morning to check my blood pressure again and see how I was feeling. So, Jake and I went back in and my blood pressure is still elevated, and I am still having a headache that won't go away. My Dr was going to send me over to the hospital to be induced right then, but I asked if we could wait just a few more days to get things in place. She agreed as long as I stay on bedrest this weekend. So, Sunday evening at 5pm I will be headed to the hospital to be induced. Luckily my parents are going to be able to fly into town last minute to be here. My dad will be able to watch Jacob and my mom will be in the delivery room with Kirk and I.

I am really frustrated/scared that this is happening again. I hate the feeling of not being in control of my own body. I was very confidant that this wasn't going to happen again since I am not working and have been able to rest a little during the day, but I guess my body will just do what it wants. I will be 37 weeks 2 days when I deliver, so I just pray that our sweet man has had enough time to develop. Please keep the baby in your prayers that everything will go smoothly and he will be a healthy/strong boy.
