Any Guesses?

Well, it's been a busy few weeks. Since my last post, Vivi and I came to Birmingham, she started school with her new class, has had lots of playtime with all of her grandparents, I started seeing my new doctor (the dr that delivered Vivi), and we got into our new routine here in AL. She is fully potty trained; she's had 2 daytime accidents since we arrived here over 3 weeks ago (too busy playing or not knowing where the potties are)! She's dry at night and during nap most of the time - she'll get up and let us know if she has to go potty during the night. Kyle and Lexie arrived in Bham a week ago - since then, Vivi hasn't wanted mom or Granna to do anything with her - it's all about Daddy! I guess that's what happens when Dad comes and goes so much. He enjoys all the attention and it's really helped me be able to rest with her going to him with her needs and wants. She's enjoyed seeing Cotton and Lexie 'play'.

I've had several doctor appointments over the past 3 weeks. Everything was going ok - baby's heartrate looks strong and movements look good. They did an ultrasound when we first got to town; they estimated him to be 6 lbs 15 ozs....3 weeks ago. Anyway, my blood pressure has been okay - a little higher than normal the last week, but we were still mentally prepared to go another week or two. But at my appoinment today, the doctor thought that we needed to go on and deliver; SO, we'll be going in tomorrow morning! My blood pressure was 137/82...again, not 'bad' (especially compared to last time), but I had started retaining fluid this past week (7lbs in 7 days) and was spilling an increased amount of protein. The dr. took this as a sign that we were headed towards some kidney function problems and blood pressure would start to be an issue. So, we're going in tomorrow. I'm 35 weeks and 4 days. Almost 36. So, in about 7 hours, we'll head to the hospital and hopefully have some good news soon after. The baby will likely be in the NICU for a few days. But, the same doctors staff the NICU now that did when Vivi was born. They do a supurb job taking care of all the babies!

Anyway, sorry if there is any inconsistency in this blog; it's been a busy day and my mind is a little scattered. SO, we would really appreciate your thoughts and prayers over the next few days. When we are able, we'll post pictures and blog updates to let you know how things progressed. So, keep checking!!

Anyone want to guess what the baby's birth weight will be?
