My lucky healthy pregnancy streak came to an screeching halt on Friday when my doctor put me on bed rest. The diagnosis: Pre-eclampsia (high blood pressure). I had this with the Redhead but it started at 34 weeks and here we are at 37 weeks, so that is much better! My blood pressure has hovered near or around 140/90 which is high, so they want me to rest in hopes that it will keep it lower and keep the baby in a little longer. My mom came in on Sunday evening and plans on staying until... I go tomorrow to see if any progress has been made on the dilation front (pray that it has) and if my blood pressure is good, they will let me continue on bedrest. However, if the blood pressure is higher, we could be inducing on Friday and having a baby! ACK!!!! I think I'm ready. Actually, we ARE ready, especially since the size of the baby has been estimated to be at least 7 1/2 lbs. Please Lord, let this child be under 9 lbs. Hopefully the next post will be one that contains the name, birth info, and pics of little Baby "Homer". Stay tuned!

Um, maybe this isn't the time to ask, but a girl has to have priorities...do you want to join Emily and I for NEW MOON in November? I mean, I know you're having a baby and all, and maybe that might keep you a little busy, but you might need a girls night out by November 20th.
Seriously, though, I am so excited for you and can't wait to see the next post! All will go well, I know.
Homer, if you would root for the Twins, I would send you a Homer Hanky! Hurry, there's no time to lose! Can't wait to meet you!
I am so excited for you! Can't wait to meet baby Homer!
I am praying for you! Left side....lay on your left side....:) Signed, Dr. Know it All
