Well, at Monday's doctor appointment, Kim and I went in thinking we'd be out in a few minutes. After passing the non-stress test, we had the blood pressure checked... again, was high. So, the other doctor I was seeing that day, banned me to the hospital for observation. We immediately went there, despite my wishes, and got admitted. I survived the IV and had to have a 24-hour urine test... fun times. They also checked my blood for protein levels that would show signs of preeclampsia.
Thankfully, 1.5 days later, I got released. My doctor was on call this morning and explained that I was as borderline as possible to having to be induced early and stay until we had Gage. Praise God, I passed again!
So, the game plan is the following: Non-stress test on Saturday, January 2 at the hospital... like we did last week. I'm really hoping to pass, because if I don't we'll be admitted again, and I'll likely have him this weekend. The other doctor is on call, so I pray she passes me, so my doc can do the delivery. If I pass, we go in on Monday, January 4 for a regular doc appointment and have the same test/blood pressure taken. If things are crazy high, he'll induce me right away. If not, we'll schedule my induction for later in the week when I'm 37 weeks (full term). It will likely be on January 7. I'll update this with the specifics once I know more.
Please pray we pass on Saturday by having a good blood pressure. If we make it to Sunday, we'll be in the clear to get delivered by my doc, which is what we both REALLY want. Plus, it'd mean Gage was able to cook a little longer.
We are so excited to meet him and have a game plan. So, he'll likely be here in one week. I can't wait to hold him in my arms!

You look so beautiful in your Christmas Eve pic! :)
I'm so happy that everything is going well, considering the blood pressure, etc. It will be soooo worth it in the end!
Can't wait to meet Gage.
XOXO
