Ira James Sandberg arrived on Thursday, October 17, 2019 @ 7:42 pm. Weighing in at 8.5 lbs and 19.5 in. His birth was a little different from Ames & Soren as I had to be induced. Towards the end of my pregnancies I always tend to have elevated blood pressure, but it always tended to be high right when I got to my appointment, but if they took it again at the end, it would go down significantly. It was no different this time around. At my appointment on Tuesday, October 15th, the same thing went down, except the second time they took it, it hadn't dropped as much as usual. The doctor asked me to come back in Thursday just in case to have it rechecked. So I showed up Thursday fulling expecting it to be normal - I wasn't nervous about it at all for some reason, but both times they took it it was elevated in the 140's. The doctor over the midwifery group I go to came in and told me I'd be having my baby today! I was shocked! I never expected to have to...
