Blood pressure update November 6, 2008

Today I went to my OB appt. and praise God my blood pressure has gone down! It was certainly not what I expected to hear given the pattern I had developed. It was 155/88 last time, today it was 142/80 so they let me come home!

Tomorrow morning we get the results of my protein check and depending on the results , if they are bad, I may be induced tomorrow. If the results are good, then I may go for another week with blood pressure checks every other day. At this point, they are preparing us for the real possibility that he will be here by next Friday at the very latest.

Needless to say that we are asking for continued prayer that my bloodpressure keeps getting better as that will only help make the delivery much safer. It would be wonderful to carry him another week to give him time to gain a bit more weight as well, however we know that God has already chosen his birthday so no matter when he comes, we pray for strength to be ready.

At this point they are also guessing he’s about 6lbs at 36wks.  He’s gonna be a little peanut but that’s ok! I”ll fatten him up :)

We’ll try to keep everyone up to date when we can. Thank you so much for your prayers!!
