Adventures in labor and delivery

PrairieMom wrote: Last night at work I decided to check my blood pressure becuase i had been feeling a little wierd and it was elevated, so my Dr wanted me to go home sick, and have a non stress test done just to be safe.
My Blood pressure returned to normal levels after I rested for awhile, and everything is okay with Baby. he wants me to take it easy tho, and told me I had better pack my bags! I guess it won't be long now. I am dilated to about 1 1/2 so that is somthing! I am heading in the right direction now!

1lilpeanut2love replied: OMG! I bet you are excited! You are going to be a mom for the 2nd time sooner than later. I had to have non-stress tests twice a week up until my delivery day!

PrairieMom replied: I don't have to work again until Memorial day weekend, and that is after I stop my meds, so It is very possible that I will have the baby before I have to go back to work. If I don't, I plan to work the weekend in hopes that it sends me over the edge so I can go into labor Memorial day.
I HAVE to have the baby while my sister is visiting, sometime between the 22nd and June 4th or she will NEVER forgive me!

MyBabeMaddie replied: Your pregnancy seems to have flown by just looking back on all of your posts I remember you posting at 20 weeks and it seems like yesterday. I hope everything goes well - I'm so jealous I can't wait to see my little girl!

MyLuvBugs replied: OMG!!!! That's so exciting Tara!! Baby's getting ready, but please keep an eye on that BP.

KEEP US POSTED! Can't wait to meet Miss Nameless!


(I think you have a name, right? But it's a surprise!)

PrairieMom replied: We decided to name her Alexis NiKol. No secret there. I just hope she is a HER! We are about as ready as we are going to get. Thankfully I have all the heavy/hard stuff done. All I have to do is pack my bags and clean/sterilize all my bottles and pump stuff.
I have been trying to take it easy, today has been a total disaster tho, super busy!
