Anticipation is at an all-time high

Two weeks ago, we went to the doctor. He was very worried about Holly's blood pressure and sent us to the hospital for some blood work. He didn't say the word, but I did a little on-the-fly research and realized that he was worried about pre-eclampsia. We didn't take his concern lightly, we went straight to the hospital where we promptly waited for a few hours on the results from the blood work. One of the doctors from our office came in and told us everything looked good. She prescribed some more rest, and lower salt intake.

We went to the doctor last week and the doctor gave us some fun news. He told us that if Holly went into labor at this point, they weren't going to stop it. He was also worried about her ability to go full-term. Her feet have been remarkably swollen and her blood pressure is still mildly concerning. So, he said there was a good possibility that they would induce labor to take Xavier early to ease the stress on Holly's body.

We are now at 37 weeks and have another appointment tomorrow. We had two baby showers this weekend, and as the name suggests, we were showered with gifts and presents for our new little man! We're so excited and can't wait to meet him.

But, the doctor's appointment tomorrow has us on edge, because we're both anxious that he's going to tell us to go to the hospital because they're going to induce her. So, we spent the past 2 days preparing!

The car seat is all ready to go in the car.
Xavier's bag is all packed up and ready to roll.
Holly's bag is all packed up and ready to go, too!

We're most definitely at the place where this could be it, any time now! I say all that to say this, keep us in your prayers. Tomorrow could be the day!

Below are a couple pictures from X-Man's room =)
