Health Update & Randomness

I managed to make it to my blood pressure recheck last week,since hubby took the girls on over to their dental check ups.  Unfortunately I had to wait an hour to get the recheck done as they work on a number system.  Hubby was done with the girls, they had come back and to play and they were about to drive over to my dr appt and wait outside. Yes that is correct, they had their 6 month check ups, played and yet I was still not done lol The good news is that it was 131/60 which was down from the 140/90  the week before, the dr was pleased so I was on my way. 


In a couple more weeks I get to go for my nasty glucose test and also to get my 2nd rhogam shot for this pregnancy.   Of course it was scheduled for a Tues morning but I requested off so hopefully there will be no issues.  I've been quite sick since going back to work in Jan, I can't seem to kick these colds I pick up at school.  So due to this and my bp issues I am trying to figure out what to do in regard to how much longer to work.  I honestly could quit now, but am trying to hold out another month, but just two days week is so exhausting to me. We'll see how it goes. 


I've been asking around about the 3d/4d ultrasounds that friends have had, and I am definitely interested in doing this.  However it is around $120-$150 out of pocket to do so, ouch. I still think its worth it though.  This is my last pregnancy, I would like the girls to see, they weren't allowed in for my 20 week ultrasound and also to ease my mind it is indeed a little girl I am carrying around. I am going to talk to hubby about it more, but I think he'll say yes.  


I am still irritable so if I bite your head off, I am sorry! 

24 Weeks, 10 Pounds & Counting Down

I went to the Dr today for my 24 week appointment for Baby P, and while I figured I had gained SOME weight, I was NOT counting on 10 lbs!! I mean really, who gains that much in a months time?? Well I do apparently.  However, when we were talking about, she said not to worry, because I was still down less than what I was when I came to my first visit.  That was a little reassuring, as I don't want to gain over about 25 lbs, but we'll see how that goes. I have been eating more since I have finally begun to feel better, no more morning sickness nor stupid cold I could not get rid of. I still don't necessarily believe I am 24 weeks pregnant...I mean wasn't it like yesterday when I found out? I've got about 3 months and 2ish weeks left before Baby P is due to arrive.

The appointment today went well, except for my blood pressure was up a little, 140/90.  I am bp pills and have been since I started going, but I did forget to take one this morning, so I wonder if that caused it to be up.  The last few times I have gone it's been in the 120's/130's over the 80's .  Either way she was a little concerned so I am going back in a week for a recheck on it.

My next appointment is a month away, and I get to do the fun 1 hour glucose test. YAY, um not. I just pray I pass this time. :) After that appointment, I'll start going every 2 weeks, that's when the real count down begins.    All this counting down also means I am running out of time to come up with a name for Baby P.  Guess it's time to sit down with some books and come up with a list and narrow it down.

Wish us luck!
