Coming Soon...Baby Pollard!!

Yesterday was an "exciting" day . Jason had a meeting out of town and couldn't get away from work so I got to go to the doctor by myself, the only time he hasn't made it and my blood pressure was a little high. When the nurse took it she got 140/100 and then when I got back to the room Dr. Beal took it and it was 160/106 so I headed to the hospital to be monitored for about 3 hours and get some blood work done. Before sending me to the hospital, Dr. Beal told me if my blood pressure didn't go down or the lab work didn't come back good I would be induced that night. Everything came back good with my blood work and my blood pressure came down so I got sent home, but was put on bedrest.

I won't be on bedrest long though. Dr. Beal is on call Saturday and she doesn't want me to go much longer so we are heading to the hospital tomorrow night and I will be induced on Saturday. Tonight is our last night at home before the baby comes! Jason & I are super excited and can hardly wait...hopefully the baby will feel the same way and we won't be in for a super long day on Saturday! If all goes as planned Jason will be a father before Father's Day :) !

Jason is out mowing the yard and we have to pack tonight and then we will be ready- to leave for the hospital anyway! I thought today was a long day just hanging out on the couch watching tv, but I'm guessing tomorrow will take forever! I am hoping to get a good night's sleep tonight, but I'm not sure if that will happen or not. Anyway, keep us in your thoughts & prayers and we will try to update soon.
