Sam update

I realized this morning that we haven't put any Sam health updates on the blog at all. Poor guy is being neglected already.

I am 36 weeks and a few days. At this point there are no signs of the pre-eclampsia I had with Mabel. No protein in the pee, no high blood pressure, and barely any swelling. Knock on wood this keeps up and I will be able to start this labor naturally.

All that said, I have no idea what it feels like to start labor naturally so I kind of feel like we are doing this for the first time. There is something comforting about induction because you know you are safe in the hospital, that your water won't break at some inopportune time, that you will have everything you need in your bag with you, etc. Nice and organized for a type A list maker like me.
I guess I'll just chalk the natural start up to another good opportunity to force me to loosen up!
