Dull visit to the doctor's office yesterday...yay! My blood pressure was 150/90 which is high but at least they let me escape for home despite a few disapproving looks from the nurses. Brady behaved himself and stayed on the monitor during the non-stress test and he was even active enough to "pass." Nobody called him any names and he proved that he can be a good boy when mama really needs him to be. I saw a different doctor because mine is in the hospital - I didn't know doctors were allowed to get sick - but this guy was pretty nice.
Despite escaping for home in under 2 hours (that might be a record for me) I do have to return on Friday, Monday, and Tuesday. Blech. This doctor indicated that 38 weeks would be the ideal time to deliver me - um, yeah that gives us just over 2 weeks to get our act together! My ultrasound is on Monday and they will check the placenta again and determine whether I will have a c-section or natural birth. Not sure it's really "natural" after they induce me and pump me full of drugs...but still...

Good luck with the upcoming ultrasound! Don't forget that it doesn't matter how your precious baby gets here as long as you both are safe and sound! Also, going for the epidural does not make you a wimp! I'm still in love with my "epidural man"!
One day at a time! Escaping the hospital today is a victory in itself! Continue to take care of you and Brady--we'll keep the prayers comin'!!
So glad you had a "dull" check-up! But wow, lots of return visits in the next week! More chances to see Brady-boy wiggling around though!
Not too long now ...
10 days. Do it in 10 days. I'd be cool sharing by birthday with Brady.
