Monday is the Day!

Well, Mr. Blood Pressure has gone on attack again. Although, not quite as viciously as he did with Eli. I do not have pre-eclampsia again (yet), but the doctor thinks it's best that we go ahead and get Tessa delivered before we get to that point. Since I'll be 38 weeks this Saturday, we've scheduled the induction for Monday morning. Although I had originally hoped to carry this pregnancy to at least 40 weeks, I'm fine with this given my body's apparent revolt to being pregnant. We are just so thankful that I have been able to carry her this long and that we are officially "full term". Plus, I have to admit that the selfish side of me is a little glad that the pregnancy torture will soon end given this 90 million degree heat.

So, please be praying for us on Monday! Pictures will be posted as soon after delivery as possible.

For those of you who are irked at me for not posting any recent pics of Eli (I know, I know...), please go visit my sis-in-law's blog to see some that she's posted. She's a much more diligent picture-taker/blogger than me I'm afraid...
