Clint and I just got back from seeing my OB, and she is still very concerned about the fact that I still have this headache, and my blood pressure was high this morning. At least high for me. Normally it's about 120 something over about 70 or 80. This morning it was 140 something over about 60.
She then mentioned that she wanted me to go back to the hospital and have some more tests run. Basically re-do everything that they did yesterday, because it could be the early signs of preeclampsia. So we are going back to the hospital tomorrow morning at 8am for the tests.
Here's an explanation of what preeclampsia is:

Needless to say, that if I do have preeclampsia, I will most likely be induced sometime within the next week. The sooner they get Dade out the better in this case.
If I do not have preeclampsia then we'll go the natural way up until the 27th. If I'm still preggers on the 27th of this month, then my oB will induce me. So either I have preeclampsia, and Dade will be here within the next week, or I don't and he'll be here no later than the 27th.
