As of Tuesday of this week we are 37 weeks. Austin is fully cooked and is just warming at this point. At our doctor's appointment on Tuesday, the doctor said everything looks good. Mom's blood pressure was up a little at the appointment from what it had been at the hospital testing visits, but nothing to be concerned about. Doctor said that there was no labor progress yet - everything is still sealed up tight. Since mom's blood pressure has been good while on house arrest, he doesn't want to induce yet because he feels that it would be ineffective since the body is not progressing at all yet and would likely lead to a c-section.
According to the doctor, the tendency will be for the blood pressure to start creeping back up again with time, so we continue the twice weekly monitoring/non-stress tests at the hospital. We had testing on Wednesday and the nurses said everything looked good. We go back tomorrow for round two for this week.
Maybe the Easter bunny will bring a baby instead of chocolate this year!
