Blood Pressure Update

As a lot of you all know, my blood pressure spiked a couple weeks ago. Unfortunately, it has not come back down. I had my doctor appointment yesterday. The good news is that it hasn't significantly increased any more. However, there has still been enough change that the doctor did mention "inducement." We got the feeling that this would only be in the event that my blood pressure rose more, but 34 weeks and 36 weeks were discussed. The school nurse is taking my blood pressure daily and I have already been bumped to weekly visits. We're keeping our fingers crossed. I'm currently 32 1/2 weeks along, and we hope Siena can make it as long as possible!

She's finally a real baby....

This is Siena's profile.
This is Siena already asserting her independence and refusing to give us a good shot. (This is what she did for around 20 minutes - feet and hands in front of face and a lot of movement.)
