We Made It!!

36 weeks TODAY! We did it! We are so happy Peanut decided to stay put this long! And, I feel great! Ever since being off the procardia, I feel so much better! I have more energy, lost weight (not that I care, but must have been retaining water), and have just felt better overall! Plus, I don't have to take meds every 6 hours! The side effects of the new blood pressure medicine have almost completely gone away. I did go to the doctor today again to have my bp checked - it was 120/90. Obviously, still not thrilled with the bottom number. I will have a non-stress test again Monday morning and have my bp checked again. If it's still sort of high, I will go back again next week. If not, I get to wait an entire week. :) Dr. Lo does not think I will go in the next week...thank goodness since Brad is fishing his last tournament before the baby this weekend! If for some reason I still haven't gone by July 15th (or somewhere around there), they will induce me. That would be 39 weeks. I am just amazed the word "induce" is even being mentioned! Who would have thought we would have made it this far?! :) :) So happy we have been able to keep Peanut safe and let everything finish developing this much! Everyone have a great weekend -- I'm pretty sure we'll both be all smiles! :)

Take Care!
