I went back to the doctor this morning. He was feeling much better. Basically, the monitoring at the hospital alleviated his concerns. Hannah is doing well and my blood pressure is back to normal. He feels no need to induce this week because of our good news. Instead, he has decided I will go back to his office on April 1st, packed and ready to go to the hospital. He will check to see if there are any signs of labor starting and send me on my way. As of today, there is still nothing. And I mean nothing!! This means we should have Hannah on April 1st or April 2nd. At least there is an end in sight.
Hopefully, Hannah will decide to come on her own between now and then. If not, I hope she comes on the 1st so she can share her Daddy's Birthday. Of course, the 2nd is a good day also. That is my Mom's Birthday. Either way, Hannah will be in good company. As my friend Nancy put it, she'll have a better birthstone if she is born in April. It's true... Diamond trumps aquamarine any day.
Wendy promises to send good babybump thoughts my way so I don't have to wait until April. Let's hope that works. I need Hannah to drop. It will be better for both of us if she does.
I hope this is the last update until Hannah arrives. I feel like we are really dragging out this birthing process. So next time I write, I hope to have pics to post for you.

Sorry didn't call you back last night. I got caught up in kiddo stuff. Anyway, good to hear things are moving along, even if it is slower than you would like. :) Betty said to hold her in another 2wks and I said that is prob. that last thing you want to do!! :) She is going tomorrow for 10 days and told me to text her when you have Hannah. Our ann. is April 2nd so yeah, the 1st or 2nd are good dates too! AND Bryanna's bday is April so she is esp happy about that birthstone too! ;0)

Just wanted to say that Hannah is sooo cute!! I really enjoyed holding her today and I hope and pray for a speedy recovery for you!! I also pray wisdom as you continue to work out the kinks of being a new mom.. nursing.. knowing you child's cry.. all that certainly is a learning experience, but you are doing awesome! Was great to see you today! Let me know when you are more recouperated (sp?) and when things are calm and somewhat normal in your world with your sweet family, and we will get together later! Love ya!
