Guesses on the Birthday?

We had our 38 week check up this morning, and everything is looking good with the baby. Because I have been having some pretty good swings with my blood pressure, they had me go into the hospital to have my blood pressure checked at around 1:00pm. They also did some other tests, and the final word was that we were not going to have the baby today...but it could be any day now.

Alli is perfectly happy and active right where she is and doesn't seem to have any intention of coming out of her own free will in the near future. My body, on the other hand, seems to want to be done being pregnant. So, I am on bed rest, keeping my body as relaxed as possible to allow Alli the time to get ready to join the world. The longer she stays put, the more time she has to put on weight and develop her lungs before taking those first big breaths.

So, Devin and I will be making a trek to the hospital to have them monitor my blood pressure, and a few other things, and the baby's heart rate every other day until either I go into labor, or the doctor thinks it would be safer to have the C-section early. Either way she will be here soon.

If you have some spare time give me a call...I'm bored. If you are making guesses on the birthday, you had better pick one of the every other days...my bets on next Tuesday the 25th. :) The scheduled date is June 1st.

I hope everyone has a great weekend and we will keep you posted!
