Day 13

We have officially started day 13 of hospital bed rest and I am still doing well. My blood pressure (when sitting up) is staying under the danger zone but still in the high zone. Jack has been VERY active the past couple of days which has been fun for John and I to experience. John spent the night Friday & Saturday night on his sofa/futon which made the room seem a lot less like a hospital room. My doctor stopped by this morning and she checked my cervix and Jack isn't coming today or in the next couple days. He is 25% effaced and I'm only dilated to a 1. He has not dropped yet, and apparently this is all normal and good for my current situation. She still doesn't have any kind of estimate for delivery and our goal is still 38 weeks which is 11 days away. I just can't believe that in 11 days or less we will be able to meet our little munchkin. I have really had some great nurses and I love my doctor and all of her partners. We have really been blessed with the care that we have received and the time that it has provided for Jack to get a little older. Let's all keep short labor and a few more days of growth in our prayers!
