After two days of really bad BP my midwife sent me into the CNM for some blood work and to talk to her. We decided last night to do this since my BP was around 150/100. Last night though I took an epson salt bath and listen to the hypnobabies relaxation tape. So a nice 40 min bath was super nice and my BP was 130/82 when I got out!!! That is amazing for me! I thought that maybe it would be just the bath and that it would be back up this morning, but it was 130/87 which is wayyyy better than 150/100. I thought that by the time I got the CNM's office that it would be up, but nope! It was 132/88 there which is totally fine for me. We decided to do the blood work anyway just so we know if anything is up, but I am really optimistic about it all.
Now to the peanut part... On Wednesday my MW said she thought my baby was engaged and between 8.5 and 9 pounds. Today the CNM said that the head was not engaged yet (and it does feel a lot higher than earlier in the week) and that she estimates that the babe is a peanut at no bigger than 6.5 pounds! WHAT?!?! Two pounds difference. It will be very interesting to see who is more accurate!
As a side note, BP issues usually does make small babies, so I really think this baby is going to be on the small side.

I doubt I have a 10lb baby in here though!
