I went for my 39 week appointment this afternoon and since my blood pressure was even higher than last week, my doctor sent me over to L&D to run blood tests and monitor me for a couple hours. Thankfully, labs were normal and my blood pressure calmed down a bit. If I wasn't already scheduled for the induction tomorrow, I definitely would be now with blood pressure issues. Can you believe I'm still hanging on at 4cm? Three weeks at a 4!
Anyway, the weather here in Dallas is supposed to be pretty nasty tonight so we're thankful the hospital is only 10 minutes away. Kate's at her Mimi and Poppy's house being spoiled rotten, my bags are packed, and we're ready to go ... I'll definitely post tomorrow sometime with pictures of Baby Garlando! Yippee!!!!
*edit ... the hospital just called (11:45pm) and said to come in at 10am instead of 7am due to icy road conditions, so things are not going to get rolling as early as we had thought!
Yay! I can't wait to see pictures! Spend a nice cozy evening with hubby and try to get a good night sleep. (I didn't think I'd ever be able to sleep the night before, but I did.)
Good luck!

Good luck, Little Mama! Can't wait to see pictures of the newest cutie... I'll be thinkin' about ya' tomorrow and keepin' the whole fmaily in my thoughts. I can just see you checking off "Have baby." on your to-do list for tomorrow. Sure makes my "Go grocery shopping." not very impressive. ;) You rock, kiddo!

I can't wait to see pictures of that sweet little princess. We will be keeping you and the little one in our prayers. Speedy delivery and recovery! Hope you are getting a good night sleep tonight!

Yay!! We can't wait to see pictures of her and find out her name! I'm laughing at what your friend Britt put about you "have baby" to check off your list! So cute :) Bummer you have to be induced but I bet that baby is here by lunch! Remember with Emma I was induced at 8am (really 9am by time I got the pitocin) and she was here by 12! Prayers for you and your family.
