What a Day! Monday Update...

My day began with scary, but what turned out to be wonderful news. Lindsey welcomed 2 boys and a girl into the world! Everyone is doing well ~ Ava, Brice and Ronan. Congrats Dave and Lindsey!

Next, Hans and I drove to my 2:30pm appointment. My Non-Stress Test was unremarkable, so off we went to see the doc. My blood pressure was high so the doc gave us 2 options ~ go home, but on your way out, have some bloodwork done and return the next day. Or, go up to Labor and Delivery and have the same bloodwork done, as well as have my pressure monitored over a period of time. This is what we chose and boy do I regret it. My blood levels were normal, we waited 2 hours for an ultrasound, and I had too many people poke and prode me. We didn't get home until 2 in the morning. Poor Hans had to sit in an uncomfortable chair the entire time. So, the deal is, I'm between 3 and 4cm dilated and ready to give birth! I also need to watch my blood pressure and for certain signs of Pre-Eclampsia. I go back in Wednesday for another U/S and pressure check.
