Cheating the system

Ha! Today at my weekly appointment, my blood pressure was 120/64! I win!!!! Seriously, I feel like I cheated the system or something. No more worries about anything. I'm perfectly normal. Yes!!!! I did a lot of deep breathing and hypnosis before I went just to be sure I was calm. There was no protein in my urine either. No Pre-E for me!

Of course, the only downside to this is that there's no possibility of being induced early or by my due date. Julie says she needs a medical reason to induce early, which I totally respect. She did go ahead and schedule a 42 week induction for me, in case I go that long (NOOOOO!!!!).... that would be April 29th. That is forever from now! It's so weird to just be sitting around waiting and waiting and waiting and not having a CLUE when anything is going to happen. It's okay though. As much as I'd like to have a baby SOON, I think it's better for the body to just do what it needs to do on its own timetable. She gave me some suggestions to possibly give my body a jumpstart, should it need one. I'm not ready for them until Tues. when I'll be 39 weeks. Last night I had my first "non-painless" contraction. Only one though. Dang it! But my body is gearing up somehow I suppose.

Apparently, I'm having a tall baby. Julie says she feels really "long". That's fine with me! She's not big necessarily, just long. I'm carrying up and down more than out. Interesting...
