I love having a friend in labor and delivery

Well as of tomorrow I will have been in bed for a week officially. I go for my second weekly check up tomorrow and I am really curious to see how it goes. I have a lot of questions for my midwife. Well I found out today that if my blood pressure is still high, which Kristen, my friend who works in labor and delivery, said I have the signs that it will be that they will probably end up inducing me. Which I have to say I don't mind at all because then my mom will definitely be here for the birth and it will just be planned and a lot better. I also want to be induced if that is what is going to best for me and Kale. However, Kristen did tell me that they probably won't induce me or will try not to until 38 weeks and they might even push it to 38 1/2 if they can or 39.She explained to me that there is a two week window in your due date where you could be two weeks faster then what they think or two weeks slower and that is why they like to wait until 38 weeks so it is not too early. It just depends on how I am doing. That doesn't bother me because that is not that far away. I mean I will be 38 weeks Tuesday. She did tell me though that if my blood pressure is still high then Theresa will probably keep me on bed rest, which really sucks because I am so sick of being in bed. I am ready to be out. My house gets messier and messier by the day and I can't stand it because I am in my nesting point and just want everything to be clean.. I am curious also for tomorrow to see how dialated I am. Last week when Theresa checked me I was 1cm and Kristen said since I have been really crampy that, that is a sign for dialating more so that I should be further along. I really hope I am. I told my sister though watch me still be 1 cm. I also have had some headaches which isn't a good sign and she said I definitely should talk to Theresa about that. I am just getting so unbelievably excited. I so wish that kale wanted to come out tonight. Every time I start to have contractions I get excited and think that maybe it is happening but they never increase in intensity. Some of them have hurt pretty bad but they don't increase in intensity and follow too much of a pattern. Speaking of contractions I am definitely having them right now. So with that said it is hurting a little to bad and I am going to go.
