Update:My wife (Michelle) went to her regular Friday check-up and because of what happened they re-ran the tests and checked some more things. It seems all is well except my wife's blood pressure. When she's up or moving it's like 140/90. When she lays down it goes down. She can tell it's high and the concern is it will only get worse. Especially during delivery. Her high blood pressure only started in the last week or so and seems to be causing contractions, headaches and nausea, when she lays down, not only does her blood pressure go down her contractions stop. So we are going to strongly consider her being induced into labor this afternoon (Saturday, Sept 27). They are swamped so we might not even get in today. They already moved us up from 9:30am to 2pm, so who knows? It seems that her condition may only get worse so having the baby is the easiest way to solve the issue. We are scheduled to go in this morning @ 2pm CST but she is free to change her mind about it at any time. Her doctor that will be delivering has been very helpful and open to us. She is supportive of us making the decision of what we want to do, including waiting and going natural. We don't really want to let her blood pressure continue to rise so we plan on going through with induced labor this morning. Pray for us that all goes well.
They did an ultrasound yesterday and seeing a full term baby makes us want to hold him now.

Were getting ready to leave for the hospital as my wife is going into labor. It looks like it's time for another baby to be born into the world.
Please pray for my wife (Michelle) and the baby (Joshua), that all goes well with the labor and delivery and that God's will be done.
If all goes well I should be able to post some pictures here later!
UPDATE: see my next post.
