I am still having some weird issues with my blood pressure. My doctor is a little concerned, but she's being very cautious. She told me Monday that if I had been a little more dilated and effaced she would have just gone ahead and sent me to the hospital to be induced. She is really trying to hold off on inducing until Knox is a little closer to ready to come on his own. As thankful as I am for that, I am also very ready to have him! My blood pressure just seems to be slowly rising every time it is checked. I had to go back Tuesday morning for a shot and she checked it again and it was higher than it was Monday. I don't have any other symptoms of pre-ecclampsia, so she sent me for some lab work and I had to do a 24 hour urine collection (which I will spare you all the lovely details of). My lab work came back fine, so we are just waiting for the other results. She should get them today or tomorrow and she said that if there is anything even slightly off we will go ahead and induce. If not, we will re-evaluate Monday. Sooo we will see! I'm hoping he decides to come on his own this weekend. My doctor is on call and everything!
I went out with the amazing Stephanie Davis and took some maternity pictures the other day. She is so amazingly talented! Here are a few of them...
The one of his shoes on the tractor is one of my favorites! We had talked about using boots to put on the tractor, but I decided that his converse represented the combination of Clayton and I very well. (: We had so much fun!
My life has FINALLY calmed down this week. Last week was almost the death of me. I don't think there was a single night that I got home before 10pm. I stayed home the last two days and tried to get some rest. Clayton even took me out to dinner last night because he was so proud of me for not doing anything yesterday! (:
I can't believe Christmas is in a few short weeks! I'm so excited to have Knox here! Here is my 38 week (and a half) picture!
