I just got back from the doctor. Things are looking good still. The doctor tweaked my medication again to hopefully get me back to just one medication again. I lost 3 pounds, but a lot of that was probably water that I had been retaining when my BP was so high. Now that my medication is working better and I am staying off my feet, most of my swelling has gone away. The baby's heartbeat was good and things are looking pretty good right now. The doctor said he isn't going to induce me until the week of the 26th, but if I go into labor before then he isn't going to stop it. He also said he would be watching for a few other things which would bump up the date of delivery. He is looking for either my blood pressure to spike again and not being able to control with medication, my fluid level to be less than 8 (it is 10 right now) which they check twice a week when I go in for testing at the hospital, or if the amount of protein starts to increase. I go into the doctor once a week now also...so pretty much every other day I am being seen, so they are laking good care of us and watching us closely.
So, if everything stays "uneventful" we will have our baby the last week of the month...so 2 1/2 weeks more of being home and stuck on the couch. Maybe little Quinn will be nice and get things started on his own earlier than that.
