Well, tomorrow, we go to the doctor and then, hopefully, up to the hospital to have this baby induced.
I confess, I'm a little nervous. Aside from the risks that childbirth carries for everyone, this weekend has been difficult. My blood pressure has been really pretty high especially if I'm doing anything other than reclining. I can actually feel my legs and thighs and upper arms and face swelling and my heart has been pounding in my neck. It's not fun.
And the closer we get to delivery, the more the Trisomy 18 possibility is looming in my thoughts. After our accident, we decided not to do the amnio. We've been getting twice weekly ultrasounds and the baby looks good and is active, but we have no conclusive evidence that all is well. Of course, I suppose no one ever has conclusive evidence that ALL is well, but I hope y'all know what I mean...
ANYWAY, all of this to say -- I would really appreciate prayers for peace and assurance, safety and stamina for all of us here. In some ways, I feel silly asking, because I know I already have them. But I am anyway. And I thank you!!

Absolutely, dear, I'm praying for you and baby and your family. God IS with you all. ((((((((April))))))))
Of course. I feel this scared every day, so I totally understand. I truly believe in my heart of hearts that everything will be fine and your little guy will be healthy. But you have our prayers, always. Say hi to Jimmy for me (if he even still remembers meeting me). How long is he staying for? Will he get to meet the baby?
You are in my thoughts and prayers, April, especially for a safe delivery. Know that He is with you, and cares infinitately about every thing that happens to you. Bless you heaps!
love, valerie
