However, I haven't made any progress toward labor at this point, so instead of checking in at the hospital at 6:30 on Monday morning, we're now going to check in on Sunday afternoon at 4:30. They'll insert a cervical balloon to help move things along, which will be "uncomfortable," as my male OB put it, but will help speed things along on Monday.
My sister arrives this evening from Wyoming, and my parents arrive tomorrow afternoon, so this will be my last post until I get to the hospital. My PLAN is to keep you all updated via the blog if I'm able. If I'm not, visit here anyway because if you're not on Twitter, you can at least check for Twitter updates in my sidebar. ---> (I'm hoping that even if I'm not able to blog, I will at least be able to Tweet from my phone.)
I am on relaxed bedrest until I check into the hospital, just to help keep my BP down. I appreciate your thoughts and prayers as we prepare for Amelia's arrival ... I can't believe we're down to just three days!
(Does it shock you as much as it shocks me to see a picture of myself on here? I rarely have pictures that I'm in, so I think it's really weird.)

deep breaths. you can do it. I'll be glued to my phone and computer on Monday. Praying for safe and not to long. :)
Oh, my goodness! Where did the time go? I am sure that you are ready to have Amelia in your arms, NOW! Will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Enjoy the time with family before the weariness of interrupted sleep begins. I know the boys in the house are excited as well.
Gentle Hugs. Beckie
I'll be praying for you!!! I hope everything goes perfectly!!
Praying for you and Amelia. Take it easy for the next few days.
P.S. My birthday is Sunday if she wants to make an early appearance. Sept. 25th is a great day to be born!
Thoughts and prayers with you!! Things will be fine! Praying for an easy and pain-free delivery!
Prayers for you from Kentucky.
How exciting! Good luck (not that you need it). I had elevated BP with my last child, too. I was scheduled to be induced on a Tuesday but had been told a dr. (not my own) on Friday that he didn't think I was "ready." My own dr. told me on Monday that she would induce me anyway.... but told me that I must have been so horrified to be told I couldn't be induced that I raised my BP just to FORCE them to induce me. ha ha! I think my body was just tired of carrying around that heavy baby. She was warm & comfortable and had no interest leaving the womb but my body had different plans! (It probably just wanted a good fruity martini after 9 months without!) I'll be thinking of you on Sunday & Monday.
Sending you the happiest wishes for healthy mommy and healthy baby girl. I spent two months on left-side bed rest for BP issues and it's not fun. I hope the next couple of days go by quickly and comfortably for you.
Yay for babies! I'll be thinking about you -
Lots of prayers coming your way!
Thinking of you Katherine...praying all goes well...I am betting on September 25...that's my sister's birthday!
Praying for a fast and easy delivery. Can't wait to see pictures of sweet Amelia in your arms!
I have been eagerly checking for updates on Miss Amelia!! Prayers for a smooth, SWIFT delivery. Can't wait for the news!
