Cooper Carl

Tuesday we headed off to see Dr. Morse for a regular weekly check up. I had had high blood psi the week before and got to spend a couple hours in labor and delivery being monitored while Stephanie took the kids to McDonalds. (I had high blood psi with Andi and TJ and had made a handful of trips to be monitored so we figured it was a pretty good chance I would end up there again.) This week though we were more prepared and had Jim and Donna Kay come up and get the kiddos just in case it happened again.

Dr. Morse wasn't too happen with my high blood psi and said that there was obviously something "wrong" and didn't want to take any more chances especially since the baby was full term. She said we needed to be induced...we were thinking Thursday maybe Friday and were a little, okay very, shocked when she said "head on over they will be waiting for you!"

As you know..it was fast, definitely not pain free at all but turned out perfectly!!
