Baby Update

Today at my doctor's appointment I was dilated 3-4 centimeters and 50% effaced. 6 days ago I was only 2 centimeters and not effaced at all. So this baby is definitely getting ready to come! I'm a little nervous since I'm only technically 36 weeks along today. Hopefully I can at least make it to 37 weeks (or what is considered full term). I also had high blood pressure at my appointment and they ended up sending me across the street to the hospital to be monitored and have some lab work done. Thankfully my blood pressure was totally fine there and everything looked good. So I'm not on bed rest. I don't know quite how that would work anyways with 4 kids. But I have been told to "take it easy and don't do anything." So I will be doing a lot of reading and hanging out with the kids. I go back to be checked again on Monday morning. Hopefully he stays put until then!
