Still slacking and pregnant....

I do have some pictures to put i just haven't had a chance to download them yet. =) I had a small scare this past friday. I went to my appt at the specialist and my blood pressure was high 157/97...and the nurse was pretty concerned. The actual doctor is not in the office on friday, because she works from the hospital on those days. So, the nurse called and asked her what she wanted her to do. She advised me to check it in two hours and if it was still high call my regular doctor. So, two hours later, I was calling my doctor. They asked that I come in. Still high....dangit. Luckily though, he told me to rest over the weekend, and if it was still high today, he would admit me in the hospital. So on to today, I went to the specialist this morning and again high, 162/83. They had me lay on my side for an hour and a half while monitoring the baby. When the doctor heard I was going to see Dr. Hardie when my appt was done, she said she would write her report and send it with me to Dr. H. So, report in hand I head to Dr. H's office. Luckily laying on my side for that long helped a little. When I got there my blood pressure was 146/92. So, better=no hospital. =) He did read her suggestions in the report. She suggested he deliver me at 36 weeks or sooner if my blood pressure continues to rise. So, he decided he is going to aim for 37 weeks....which will be August 3rd. Based off a August 24th due date....his differs from mine by 2 days. So, only 2 weeks and 6 days at the MOST! And maybe sooner. We will see. Just glad to see there is an end in sight...I am tired of living at the doctors office. =)
