Pt1 is this excitement or anxiety or intuition ?!
__ on Friday at my 1st 38 week appt I had two high blood pressure readings during the visit. To be fair I did have both girls with me and they were being a little coo coo as toddler can be. So we monitored my pressure over the weekend and it was really good. Yet I find myself driving to this appt on Monday a bit freaked out and wondering what was ahead of me. If it was high again would they schedule me for induction ? Even when I would ideally like to try and go as natural as possible - obviously within the means that the stats for me and baby are ok …. Stay tuned for part 2 to see the ultrasounds results and what the dr said

Pt 2 is this early labor ?

Luckily my blood pressure, baby’s heart rate and level of amniotic fluid all looked perfect !
Still having wrap around cramps. Going to try and walk it off or ramp it up with some retail therapy. Will keep you updated with how that goes 🤰🏻

Pt 3 will we have a baby tonight ?

— got to do a little retail therapy in the clearance section of Old Navy & used my 15% off birthday coupon 🙌🏻 I grabbed some fun dress up skirts for the girls and matching valentines pjs for the 3 littles. The wrap around cramps / mild contractions happened all through out the shopping trip.

Walking to the car I realized it’s a beautiful Full Moon. Perhaps that’s why I’m feeling extra pressure and cramps ?! Or is this the beginning of getting to meet our baby ?!

Now going to meet up with my husband for a late ish dinner date night at one of our fav Italian spots. 🍝
