So yesterday we went to St. John's in Springfield for the level 2 ultrasound. By the way, not a 3D ultrasound but still pretty cool. So we had the ultrasound tech do one then a doctor came in and did another. Both said that they see absolutely nothing wrong with this little guy!!! YAY! He looked absolutely perfect and passed all the tests with flying colors. Oh such good news! Then the doctor went on to tell me that he thought I maybe had chronic hypertension (high blood pressure) and should buy a blood pressure machine to keep at home and monitor it daily so that I don't have a stroke! What??!!>? Okay, said I. He thought it wasn't probably pregnancy induced. Anywho, I still have too much fluid they said as well. Okay. So, that doctor's verdict was that the baby needed to be evicted furniture and all! He called my doctor in Quincy and they chatted. Then Jeremy and I drove to Quincy and chatted with my doc. He moved my inducement date up to Thursday and then stripped my membranes to try to get me started naturally. Well that was fun.
Anyway, now it is the next morning and I've got many signs of labor that I won't go into detail about for the men on the blog:) Hopefully, I go soon. He'll be here Thursday anyway. I still need to pack a hospital bag and such.
So, the moral of the story is that prayer works. The baby is just great! I can't wait to see him!

Sorry, that last comment was from me. By mom I meant Tacy's mom...not yours. Sorry!
Hooray!!! Just watch your blood pressure arter you have the baby. (you could even use the machines they have at stores) If it goes down and stays down, you don't have to worry about the stroke thing. Well, you have more important things to worry about now. :)
Yay! We were all hoping for good news! We even got the kids in on the prayers for you ;)
