After a few days at home with stable blood pressures, I went in for my NST today. Everything looked great...except for my blood pressures. The diastolic (the lower number) was over 100 throughout the NST. So I got another admission ticket to labor and delivery...this time to have a baby. Probably a good thing...when I got to labor and delivery my blood pressure was 174/113. So I got an IV and I'm back on my favorite med magnesium and some IV labetolol. They are inducing me with Cytotec tonight, which is a medication that ripens the cervix, and as soon as that has a chance to work its magic they will start Pitocin (probably tomorrow morning) and break my water. So Trav and I will probably have a baby some time tomorrow! From talking to Dr. Gravelle, she will go straight to the NICU. Whether it is for 2 days or a few weeks, well, we will have to see.
I might not be able to update until after the baby is born, since I am already in a little bit of a magnesium fog. I will try to let everyone know what is going on as soon as I can! Again, thanks for all of your love and support. This has been quite a ride.
