No Luck

I think the last few weeks of this pregnancy have been a comedy of errors. Mark and I were all excited to go to my appointment Monday only to get a call that the doctor's office flooded over the weekend! How crazy is that! My non-stress test was moved to the hospital but my doctor wouldn't be there. Well, that stressed me out and Mark's mom called over to discuss with the nurses (gosh, it's so nice to have an "in") and we came up with a game plan.

So I went over to the hospital and surprise, my doctor was there! I wanted to give her a big hug but unfortunately was all tangled in wires. Anyway, my blood pressure was DOWN! How is that possible after all that? I'm not dialated, not thinning--nothing! So in order to avoid three days of induced labor, again, my doctor has decided to wait. I'm on bedrest, so I probably shouldn't be blogging right now, but that's the latest. No baby yet. I go back in on Thursday.

Oh, poor Carrie. You're such a trooper. I can't believe how well you are taking this! If only I could be like you.

I'm putting all of my ridiculously pregnant lady energy into hoping your blood pressure will magically cooperate on Thursday at your appointment for even for one brief second while they've got the cuff on your arm. That way you get to have the baby then and not wait anymore. (no

Aw man!!!! That stinks. I was hoping to see some pictures of little Allegra when I clicked on your blog this morning. Oh well! Good luck with your appointment on Thursday. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.
