39 weeks and 4 days

We're almost there! If I can keep my blood pressure in check for another 18 -20 hours or so, I'll be able to deliver at our local hospital as planned. My blood pressure has been varying. Up on my feet for any period of time over 30 minutes pretty much guarantees a high reading, but as soon as I lay down on my side for 15 minutes, it brings it back into a normal range. So, I spent a lot of this weekend trying to work in short bursts of activity followed by a rest.

I have another ultrasound and dr's appt this afternoon and we're scheduled to be at the hospital tomorrow morning at 6:30am. I still haven't figured out exactly how we're supposed to get to labor and delivery at that early hour since all of the doors are locked other than the emergency room. I guess we'll be playing let's make a deal with the security guards in the emergency room to let us upstairs.

The kids are all doing well. Erin is perfecting the fine art of sarcasm. To hear it out of a three year old's mouth is both hilarious and disturbing. After watching Sarah and Sloane handle (drag? crash?) their baby dolls recently we've acknowledged that they probably shouldn't be allowed to hold the baby anytime soon :) (Kidding, of course).

We'll keep everyone updated.
