Dr.'s appt went REALLY well... I got to see my doctor instead of someone in the practice and that made such a difference, I'm just more comfortable asking her things...
SO the news is that my blood pressure is continuing to increase (as we all know), but I've gotten Amelia through the scary time...
She is 4lb, 12oz and will be 34 weeks tomorrow which is their first goal. (According to Babycenter.com "babies born between 34 and 37 weeks who have no other health problems generally do fine. They may need a short stay in the neonatal nursery and may have a few short-term health issues, but in the long run, they usually do as well as full-term babies.") She is meeting all of her measurement points (legs still measuring ahead) and her fluid levels and placenta look good.
At this point if my blood pressure increases again, they will deliver me (to 160/95 or higher). No sitting in a hospital bed for weeks, just time to deliver. :)
I asked if there is any possibility of me going past 37 weeks and she said no, we will be inducing the first week of December if she is not already here, so no Christmas baby for me (I'm kind of relieved).
I'll have my 34 week belly pic up tomorrow. Here is some more interesting info on premature births. Let's get Amelia to 37 weeks!!!

Glad to hear baby is doing well inside, sounds like she's a great weight!
Wishing you a few more weeks of being preggo, and I hope that bp stays in an okay range yet.
